i need help?

Question

i am writing a song. its talking about my dad trying to kill himself but i am having troubles putting it into words. can someone help me. dont reply stupid things like "your not ment for it"

Answer 1

Try putting your thoughts down in a stream-of-consciousness form. Something like this: So sad. Why? Love him.....
and so on. If you just list your feelings like that, you can add other words later and sometimes you don't even have to - sometimes it is more effective just to sing the one or two word phrases depending upon what genre of music you will be using.
Another thing that works for me is just write it all down as a prose first - in story form or as you would in a journal. Later you can take that story and change it into the more poetic language of a song.
Don't worry if it doesn't come fast. Often you will have a block for awhile and then the words will suddenly start to flow. This happens all the time to many writers.

Answer 2

Your lyrics should be about the love you have for your dad, and how much he means to you. Let your heart pour out loving words for him in a simple way like when you were a child and using the same words he was using back then before it got to the point of trying to kill himself.

Write those words in a positive way and avoid all negative. Wrap it with unconditional love and understanding if some problem is known to you. But avoid judgemental words. Talk about Love, nothing but love!

The language of your heart will certainly touch your father and a lot of other people too.

Have a good meditation on the situation before you get started. It does help. Good luck.

Answer 3

I don't know how to write songs.

But can give you some ideas as :
when things not go our ways ,
we sometimes think we can not accept it ,
think we can not bear it anymore ,
remember once there was someone who by no fault of him ,
bear the nails going though his palms.
are our pain more than him,
are our agony more than him,
is not dawn appears right after darkness ?
is not hope that we are waiting for ?
is the anxiety that bolt you down ?
is that what you think ?
think about those without home
think about a man born without limbs
yet he strive to live ,
think about your loved ones
is our pride worth our life ?
how about you ? how about you ?

Gosh, i try, though by now I can't go far. I feel lousy . try my best , but don't think u can use it much. sorry,
good luck.
