Inspiration
I have no inspiration to write lyrics for my songs anymore. I used to be able to write and write without even having to think. The words used to flow. However, lately it seems like I have nothing to say. I don't really have any problems in my life to write about, and I'm not in love. Can anyone inspire me? Or tell me how to get inspired? Thank you so much.

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
I had the same problem. Then I started listening to a band called Bright Eyes. They have amazing lyrics that inspire me every day. Hope it works for you.

i don't know what music you're into but if you wanna feel some emotion you should listen to alot of nirvana and alice in chains. both kurt cobain, of nirvana, and layne statley, of alice in chains, are dead. they both did alot of drugs, especially heroin and put alot of emotion into their music.

Try journaling. Sometimes really interesting things come out that you didn't even realize were there until you started writing.
Or...you can try just doing free writing. That's when you just write anything that comes to mind- anything at all. Even if it doesn't make sense. It helps to get your creative juices flowing. The trick is though not to think of spelling or grammar or censor yourself in any way.
You can also write about fantasies, dreams. You don't have to write about things that are real.
A walk in nature is always good too. Sometimes you can be inspired by the tiniest thing. There is so much poetry in nature.
If none of that helps, start reading some of the great poets- (music after all IS poetry) and maybe some of their words will inspire you.
Well- that's all that I can think of. Hope one of them works for you! :-)

Watch the music video to "Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride.

You don't have to be talking about your life. You could refer to someone else's. No matter how far-fetched your lyrics may seem from reality, someone out there is experiencing what you have wrote about, so don't be afraid to cover issues that you think not many people experience. Good luck!
