My process is basically: Write a melody (but expect to change it slightly once I write lyrics) Figure out conceptually what each section of the song (verse, chorus, etc) is going to say overall Drop the entire concept of the song, along with copy and pasting the wiki page of whatever character i'm writing about, into ChatGPT and ask it to make a word bank of 60 words related to the character Look through the words for one that feels good (rhythmically, emotionally, etc) and start putting it in sentences Now go back to my melody and feel out how the natural speaking rhythm of the word (think about which syllable the emphasis falls on) fits into the rhythm of the melody and start working outward from where I fit the word in Once I get one line, repeat with the surrounding lines (in any order, sometimes i write a verse from the end working backward to the start, sometimes from the middle out) until I have a whole section Use Rhymezone's "Near Rhymes" and "Synonyms" pages to find rhymes, particularly ones with specific stress patterns (use the xx/, /x, etc buttons at the bottom of the synonyms page to filter by stress pattern, where / indicates a stresed syllable) Repeat until you finish the song It's really easy to write lyrics once you narrow the word choices down to only words that are: relevant to the topic rhyme fit the rhythm of the melody you're writing
