I hope that if you come to this site, you feel at least some reassurance. Life is messy, life isn't perfect, and I love that there is a place, virtual as it is that can acknowledge this. I don't pretend to be perfect or know everything, but I promise that if you ask me a question, or if I see one and take an interest, I will answer it as best I can.Check out my forum here:

advice
alright so i really am interesting in writing songs; i have but their all these wine-y songs.
i would really like to write metaphors in my songs
like example how fall out boy does it;;;like maybe one of their songs because their such an inspiration to me.
does anyone know how to write a song like them;;or to get my creativness flowing?
thank you! :]
Try thinking of a feeling, and once you have that feeling clear in your head, brainstorm a word that reminds you of that feeling. Then, you can make a chart (or just make a pretend chart in your head) that compares the qualities of that object and the qualities of that feeling. When you have to write something factual, reconsider what you are trying to say and see if you can add a metaphor to it, or even a simile. For example, in a song by fall out boy, the way a girl touches the author is compared to the "way your make-up stains my pillowcase". Think of an effect that a feeling/object/person has, and then think of something else with a similar effect. It's all about finding objects/feelings/ anythings that have similar characteristics to them.
To get creativity flowing, it often helps to just be relaxed or in the mood, or to have something clear in your mind (ei, a feeling, or a specific moment in time, or both). Don't be afraid to just write something completely random, and don't worry if the words don't make sense at first. Remember that it's not just the words and how they make sense that's important, but how, when combined together, they make you feel.
