Metal Lyrics Library (v0.4.0)
Last updated: July 28th 2021
Words and stuff to:
- Spark ideas.
- Get you out of "writer's block" (Whatever that is. I hear it's a thing for some).
- Find some rhymes, metaphors, analogies, etc. (if lucky).
What to use this for #
For when the picture is clear, but the exact words, phrasing, etc. evade you.
Apes together strong.
Sources #
Books. Exclusively.
I strictly avoid other metal bands' lyrics, to avoid being too derivative.
(We all rip off Tolkien, Lovecraft, the Bible, etc. anyway.)
