Another really powerful way to write lyrics is to just pick up a mic and start singing melodic nonsense into it. Words if any come to mind are fine but nah nahs and other phonetic gibberish are cool too. Then rinse and repeat. It can be a bit embarrassing at first but as you continue doing it, phrases will start popping out of the ether. Those phrases often surprise you. You write them down maybe add some new words to augment or change them. Go back and do it again. Jeff Tweedy of Wilco works this way. I’ve used it to great success as well.
