I'm not into solos, I'm into lyrics.

I might lie a lot but never in my lyrics.

Collaborating on lyrics has never worked for me.

Lyrics are so important, but they're really underrated.

Don't call my lyrics poetry. It's an insult to real poets.

I write music to both the situations and the lyrics in plays.

My lyrics are my diary - you're hearing every detail of my life.

And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.

My lyrics aren't offensive. Some people find everything offensive.

Poetry and lyrics are very similar. Making words bounce off a page.

I can clear my mind, and lyrics just come out; it's very easy for me.

I want to be on the Billboard Hot 100 with a single that has Korean lyrics.

Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.

In whatever form it takes, life sings because it has a song. The meaning is in the lyrics.

I came to the Unites States and realised I had a knack for coming up with rhymes and lyrics.

My lyrics are generated by various peculiar processes. Very random and similar to automatic writing.

I've really been studying lyrics, printing out lyrics to songs I love and reading them like a letter.

I have two sisters, so we watched all of the Disney films. I think I still know the lyrics to them all.

I like Kendrick as an artist. He's witty and he's smart when he's spitting in his lyrics. And he's crafty.

Lyrics is the face of any song. The combination of composition, lyrics and singing is what makes a song a song.

'Feel Special' is the song that we all cherish, and we thought the song's lyrics are words that everyone needed to hear.

Words are more powerful than some noises. Noises won't last long. Lyrics are so important, and people don't realise that.

Lyrics can be important, but ultimately, what pulls people in on a song is melody and the tracks and the way music feels.

If rock-and-roll is well done, there's nothing so terribly wrong with that kind of music. But the lyrics are another story.

I never wrote music or arranged songs or lyrics when I was under the influence of anything but coffee. That's not gone away.

I know my lyrics might be weird to some, but they're not like that to me because I know where they come from - I know the secret.

The experiences I go through... everything you hear in my lyrics is real. Good or bad, I take it all in and put it all on the mic.

You can be very efficient with lyrics, and you can get the heart fluttering or soaring or make someone cry with a really amazing dance song.

I can't be bothered to learn Final Draft. I'm not a technical person. Like, when I sing, I just want to sing the melody and write the lyrics.

Music should come crashing out of your speakers and grab you, and the lyrics should challenge whatever preconceived notions that listener has.

You've got to make sure that you don't have an airbrushed picture making you look like a 15-year-old cherub when your lyrics suggest otherwise.

Chelsea Morning is a great Joni Mitchell song and I guess I'm partial to her lyrics because they show me a slightly different perspective on life.

'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,' if you go through the lyrics, is such a haunting melody, and the words are, for a pop song, pretty deep and dark.

When I was young, even though I received so much love, I used to pay attention to people who disliked me. That's why my lyrics were so sharp and dark.

I started out being quite an eclectic composer, not quite sure where to fit in. I tried my hand a bit at everything, except perhaps music with lyrics.

One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music.

The truth is hip hop has always complemented jazz and vice versa, but there's always been this communication barrier that exists based on music to lyrics.

Before I met Bad Bunny, I had this image of him from his lyrics and songs, and I met a very cultured and nice man that I could have deep conversations with.

My brother came home from college with a Mountain Goats cassette and I was like, 'What is this?' The lyrics were crazy to me. I'd never heard anything like it.

I pay attention to lyrics and I know what rap fans care about. I try to write for the average listener and I'm conscious of the mainstream without selling out.

A lot of people talk to me about writing lyrics and it is obvious they are really paying attention to the fact that ours are different from a lot of other bands.

I'll hear a beat and think, 'How can I make this a banger?' I'll write the lyrics on my phone or on a piece of paper, and either way, it's going to be a slapper.

There's Eddie's conviction and his lyrics and his ideals, and he can just rock straight out. His vocals are incredible. And we all are really competent musicians.

Owning vinyl is like having a beautiful painting hanging in your living room. It's something you can hold, pore over the lyrics, and immerse yourself in the art work.

I get my inspiration for my songs and the lyrics from experiences in my life, but I'm also very inspired by the Beatles and Cyndi Lauper, as I really like their music.

In my lyrics, I used to always state two years ahead. I did that to make it seem like we were ahead of our time - a time capsule almost. It had never been done before.

Words are important to me, but a song can work and function and be a good song with words that are fairly standard. But really great lyrics can't rescue a dog of a song.

Our lyrics deal with real issues that face all humans: choices in life, depression, self-esteem. And the fans know that we are there for them, and they are there for us.

How can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?

I think Mighty Moe really got me into a whole different style of MCing. There were a lot of people with simple lyrics and simple word play- he really pushed out the boat.
