Lyrics always fall short with the amount of energy thrown into the playing. Lyrics to some extent are just the product of a singer's insecurity with singing.
Brian Chippendale
Image
Lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers.
GZA
Image
Lyrics are coming to you all the time. I get inspiration in the middle of the night.
Rod Stewart
Image
Lyrics need to be good, but they don't need to be obvious right away.
Matt Berninger
Image
Lyrics are kind of the whole thing it's the message. Something might have a beautiful melody but if it's not the truth coming out of your mouth, it's not appealing
Alison Krauss
Image
Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
Brian Eno
Image
Lyrics are my racket music is play - the fluff stuff.
Cass McCombs

Lyrics should not need to stand on their own many of [Bob] Dylan's do, but in common with other great lyricists, he has written plenty that falters on the page but soars in song.
David Bennun

Lyrics are for teenage girls, brah.
Eric Anthony

Lyrics are tough for me and I never feel like they're quite done.
Stacey King
Image
Lyrics have to be underwritten. That's why poets generally make poor lyric writers because the language is too rich. You get drowned in it.
Stephen Sondheim
Image
If you listen to old Jerry Lee Lewis records, he'll always - about nine times out of 10 have the lyrics different than the original record is.
Chris Isaak
Image
When Chaplin found a voice to say what was on his mind, he was like a child of eight writing lyrics for Beethoven's Ninth.
Billy Wilder
Image
When I'm writing songs, I write visually. When I'm writing the words down and I listen to the melody and the lyrics, I start seeing the video form. And if I can get through a song and from the beginning to the end have the whole video in my mind, I think that's a great song.
Christian Kane
Image
The first thing that inspires any song is a chord progression. When I have one I really like, I get into the lyrics even more.
Black Francis
Image
Why write a song when no one can play the notes or understand the lyrics?
Christopher Moore
Image
I think the difference between a good song and a great song is... honestly, I think the lyrics, because if you have a really solid melody and solid track and everything is there but then the lyric is just okay, then you've got a good song.
Bonnie McKee
Image
I really think it's just the people you put around you. For instance, you mentioned Kiss Goodbye, that was a song that was brought to me by Dan Couch and Dale Oliver. They had already started writing it without. They had put together this whole demo of music with no lyrics.
Cody Johnson

I always write knowing that people will hear it, but also hoping they'll see it. So a lot of times I make lyrical decisions based on what looks better. Also I write based on what I saw for a video. I obsess over lyrics in the hopes that they'll endure in different ways. I'm very precious about it.
Boots Riley
Image
When I published my first novel, Slammed, I included lyrics at the beginning of each chapter from one of my favorite bands, The Avett Brothers. The overwhelmingly positive response from readers to those lyrics really surprised me.
Colleen Hoover
Image
An organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom. If we will listen, they are teaching the gospel, for the hymns of the Restoration are, in fact, a course in doctrine!
Boyd K. Packer
Image
I'm the guy that gets up at three in the morning to jot down an entire sheet of lyrics for something that won't be recorded for six months. You have to get it down when you can, because thoughts are fluid.
Corey Taylor
Image
Ironically, when I was playing in my first band, I would deliberately not write down any lyrics. I have a really good memory and I would just keep them in my head.
Craig Finn

All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
