FenderChick,
If you
think it's too hard, then you're talking yourself right smack into the middle of hard. Dont let yourself fall into that trap. I read your other post and and you've got a good start on a lyric. Just let the words flow, which sounds easier than it is. But certainly no need to stop working on a lyric.
Sounds like you're not giving yourself enough leeway nor enough credit! First rule in lyric writing is
don't hold back! Lyric writing is no place to be shy and holding back ideas or notions. If you get to a point when you're writing a lyric and its like all your thoughts stepped out on you, take a pen an paper and just start writing anything down the comes into your mind. It doesn't have to relate to the lyric. Just write the words. Look out the window and write what you see. Don't think about it. Just write it down. Don't dwell on one thing. Just write it down. Don't write long sentences or paragraphs about what you see. Rather, use just one or two words to describe what you see or hear or smell. Just write it down. I use this trick all the time. After you're done go over the list and see if anything you wrote could be translated into your lyric.
There may be something there, and then again you may come up blank. So then go get a pop or coffee or an ice cream and try it again afterwards.
Writing lyrics is not easy and just like learning guitar it takes time and practice to understand the process. And then it take time and practice to let yourself go. I mean it's like free-falling. Let yourself go. You just go weightless and the inside of your body seems to be in another dimension and disconnected. Relinquish your body to the physical world and let your mind do the traveling.
With your friend, try doing "what if" scenarios on your lyrics. Play games with the words. Work with rhymes. Work with using different syllabic words. Change the meter of your lines by using different words. This is called collaboration. So go ahead and start collaborating!
And by all means, either buy or use online tools like rhyming dictionarys, thesaurus'.
Hope this helps you get beyond the "it's hard to do" thing".
