Ferrum Sanctus
As far as I'm concerned, writing good music is something you just can't learn that simply..

I kind of put my aggression down on the music I play, and that really helps me cool off when I'm mad, and I write my music accordingly.

I say that being a good lyricist and not being able to write music has nothing to do with either age nor skill, but it's something that just is as it is.

(Also, try to write your lyrics and music when you're inspired, not as if it was something you must do.)

ditto. forced lyrics are just inferior to ones form the heart. a lot of mine come when im about to fall asleep for some reason. hence i sleep with a notebook under my bed now, cuz if i dont write it immediately i forget it. sweatdrop
