I love writing lyrics in the moment, But then when I read them the next day they're cringe as fuck.

More practice I guess, but it's annoying.

    If you ever want cringe lyrics the stuff Tim Rice wrote for Andrew Lloyd Webber are amazingly awful. And look how popular they were!

    Lyrics are an interesting thing, when blended with the music they can often convey emotions and ideas in a way that transcend what the actual words themselves do. Language is an amazingly intricate and complex communication method that can sometimes convey more through imperfection than when you get everything right.
