I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
The fourth line of the chorus first read "stop dressing black" which did not only sound corny but also conveyed the wrong message. I did not mean the song to be that drastic or melodramatic. My good old Penguin Rhyming Dictionary provided help:
what's the use looking back on your misery
or mistaking bad luck for your destiny
why should you be sulking or cry bitterly
cultivating a state of moody revery
look forward
stop looking back
look forward
get back on track
look forward
yeah, I know you are hit hard
yeah, I know it's tough to bear
but then, it's not the end
and no reason to despair
what's the use looking back on your misery
or mistaking bad luck for your destiny
why should you be sulking or cry bitterly
cultivating a state of moody revery
look forward
stop looking back
look forward
get back on track
look forward
yeah, I know that you feel wounded
and it takes some time to cope
but I think should snap out of it
'cause the future's full of hope
what's the use looking back on your misery
or mistaking bad luck for your destiny
why should you be sulking or cry bitterly
cultivating a state of moody revery
look forward
stop looking back
look forward
get back on track
look forward
