16 Personalities Writing Song Lyrics

[@joz6455]

I'm an ISTP and a bass player/audio engineer "I like pie. That's no lie." would be followed by 20 minute instrumental. I also can see coming up with a song with the ENTP would be a creative fun.

[@claytonpayne2408]

What is it with istps and bass? Like, I'm an istp and that's the only instrument i've seriously considered learning.

[@iris6068]

I'm an ENTP.. Should we make a song together to test that theory?

[@FentonHardyFan]

As an ISTP, I’ve often wondered why we don’t have songs about food. It’s extremely relatable to every human alive. And relatability is one of the key components to writing a hit song, right? And am also a big fan of the lost art of long instrumental segments in songs. Your song with two lyrics and a long jammin’ instrumental part afterwards sounds like a good idea to me!

[@strivingfornewhorizons9281]

I kind of imagine it like the "My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio" - tune

[@alicialexists]

I (INTJ) tried writing a poem once about a sunset, and it turned into a dark story-poem that involved the truth about why the sun never rose again in the morning costing a human's humanity and siblings killing each other before the heroic sibling that wanted to bring back the sun even had the chance to do it. I think INTJs are physically able to make bright, sunny poems but might not be mentally inclined to do so because we see that reality is full of darkness. Perhaps it is the Ni/Se combination, combined with enough Te to directly (literally and metaphorically, when combined with Ni) address what is going on in our heads. Without a ton of thought about the public's potential reaction. I personally feel an almost-moral obligation to be real with people and myself, but I am unsure of whether this is an INTJ thing or simply a me thing.

[@danicleckley5404]

I drew a picture for therapy. My family saw it as dark and depressing, but I felt it was a thought-provoking interpretation of my mental state at the moment as well as an illustration of the joy I was feeling.

[@user-mc5vy2vk5n]

@@alicialexists oh, I once tried to write a poem about sunset, too. Turned out as poem about the twilight and other stages of the night, while someone was dying, and ending with them dying at dawn. Till this day not sure how it ended there. Writing positive / happy things is very hard, they turn out not good enough, kida cheesy, but the dark ones... they have layers, meaning, depth. You might have guessed by now, I'm also an INTJ.

[@KironKrishnan]

Spot on! As an INTJ poet and music composer, I care for depth and layers in my work. They might not look apparent to people who are muggles, but they are clearly there and you can pull each of the layers out with a specific "code" I have embedded using certain words or certain musical phrases in the required places.

[@adityeah3802]

This reminds me of when I (INFP) was trying to teach my INTP little sister on how to write poems. I was all about letting the poem take its own direction and ideas as it goes and we make/break the lines for them to rhyme naturally, while my( ISTJ) brother was suggesting making a database of words that rhyme, and use the ones close enough as a subject then write the lines pertaining to that idea. My little sister cannot make poems cause she doesn't get poems.

[@Sean-Ax]

INFJ here. Maybe 6 years ago, I started getting into music and making songs. One day, my classmate (who I recently found is an ENTP) wanted to make a song with me. We ended up making three songs about the hopelessness of the world and the necessity for each person to change for a better place. Also, I taught him how to rap. Ever since then, it is present in his every single song.

The outro song was funny. You are correct, me being an introvert, will never know how horrible it is for an extrovert to be stuck in a house with nobody to talk to. I would imagine it being the same as an introvert being forced to go to a loud and crowded bar or party with no escape in sight.

[@InJeffable]

ISFP here. I don't know if this has anything to do with my cognitive functions, but I would probably procrastinate for a long, long time unless I had a hard deadline for writing the song. My scenario would probably look like: *thinks about writing a song, but maybe later* *gets a few ideas, doesn't write them down, and forgets most of them* *finally sits down to write a song after several months*

[@eunikekarosas1335]

that is if there is no inspiration or personal desire. hence her mentioning the need for inspiration.

I'm an ESFP songwriter, and I usually come up with my music long before my lyrics. My lyrics are more like dialogue than poetry, and if they happen to rhyme, it's totally incidental

[@alicialexists]

INTJ here who dabbles in songwriting when inspiration strikes. I do not poetry either when I create lyrics, whether through spontaneous song or a word processor. I simply express what I want to express (usually not personal feelings unless they are a fictional character's and not too mushy and romantic), in the way that the narrator would be most likely to express them if s/he were singing instead of me.

[@riccabecker8214]

Dude! ENFP is so accurate. The level of energy I invest in a project when I first take it on is explosive, and then I walk away to literally eat food and I am off on another tangent already working on another project. (Also, I love the background that the ENFP got, coffee mugs sprawled around the house!! Hahaha, exactly how my place looks, amongst other unfinished art endeavors.)

[@zk7830]

INTJ here, this is definitely similar to my thought process, trying to figure out how to convey a complicated idea in a way the audience will be receptive to. In fact, I once wrote a song for the ending of a story. (Although it was more of a poem since I didn't compose background music. Though I did imagine the music.) I spent some thought trying to figure out how to metaphorically convey the essence of the storyline and how to allude to its spiritual themes, doing so in a pleasantly colorful way and without being too "on the nose" about it. I think it took me an hour or so to finally form the lyrics. Overall I was happy with the end product.

ISFP here, I figured this would be the perfect place to share a snippet of a song I spitballed in the back of a car on a road trip after hearing the tail end of someone else's conversation 😂 Nothing's working out right Rage against the dying of the light There's a page to turn But is this chapter really over? All my dreams are waiting for their paragraph All my tears are held back by a fake laugh I've made some messes, told some lies Burned some bridges, cut some ties Change of plans Change of plans

Same bro! And I’m never happy with the few lyrics that I have written

[@Elodie_N_INTJ_Analyzes]

My ex *ENTJ*, compose music since his childhood, done more than 2000 musics. The only music where he managed to put lyrics in it, the lyrics were : *..laughing is not enough, laughing is not too, loving is not enought, loving is not too...* I think, ENTJ need to use their inferior function Fi to produce good lyrics. He wrote this song for me at the beginning of the relationship, maybe that's why, he succed.

Aw that's too bad. If she's anything like me, she might be going through a "hates humanity, because everyone is incompetent" phase, or something. Low Fe makes people hard to understand. Which I think might be the culprit. Hopefully you both learn to get along eventually. Siblings are the best if you do.

Hahaha thanks!!

[@fleetingfootnotes9133]

As always, the subtitles are a great, hilarious bonus. One of my pet peeves about modern music is how often the subject is "I". And sometimes it isn't directly, but it's still focused on the me. Good we didn't have that coming up a lot. Also wondered about how an INTJ could possibly believe in something like hollow world... then I remembered thinking's only their second function. No wonder. :P ... although the INTJ did get closer to finishing the lyrics than the INTP. So there's that. Edit: shouldn't you, of all people, know the degree to which sanity is overrated?

looool the ENFP just too accurate i have too many songs I've been passionately writing and been sure it's gonna be a masterpiece...well never finished any of them

[@sophiaredwood5825]

OMG! As an ENFP songwriter, I can talk about thi- Nevermind Kristin managed to sum up my entire process and I’ve never felt more called out in my life 😭 Let me rephrase. I’m an aspiring songwriter. I have a document full of 50+ song ideas, most of which I have brainstormed or started in some fashion. I’ve taken more care into organizing the document than I have into finishing any of the songs. Only one of them has gotten far enough to have finished lyrics and backing chords. Oops. I also can’t write music, because I spent two years learning perfect pitch (on accident, so no commitments here) and now I’m a bit too lazy to learn to read sheet music. So I record my songs on video (since it’s easier to remember snd reproduce them that way). And I make 25 minute brainstorming videos for the ideas that sweep me off my feet. Those videos are me attempting to vocally put together the song and the instruments and the words in real time. And oh my goodness, I sound absolutely insane in those videos with the way I mumble and go off on tangents and randomly start belting out choruses, all while pacing the floor endlessly. (So me all the time, but with supercharged inspiration and Ne.) The one good thing about making music like that is that I’ve gotten quite good at making up lyrics on the fly. I’ve challenged myself to record improv songs before, where I just pick a key and sing whatever. I’m not bad at it, which scares me. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the first songs I finish end up being songs I created in one fell swoop. To my detriment, I often get perfectionistic with the ideas I like the most, and then they never get done. I get all sorts of ideas- songs about random things, songs about my experiences, songs where I’m addressing people, even songs that are musical adaptations of stories and characters I want to write… but finishing is SUCH a stumbling block. I’ve promised myself I’ll finish the latest one I came up with and I’ve been coming back to it consistently for about a week now. Progress!! Wish me luckkkk!!

[@restlessmosaic]

What helps me (INTP) is knowing how many mistakes are in successful songs. Even a lot of songs I like have imperfections that I think are obviously imperfections and should have been done better. But the songs *work,* and I take heart in that.

[@larryplotter2607]

Wow I relate to this comment way more than I should lol. You'd think having 13 years of music education and perfect pitch would make things easier but I just end up getting sidetracked and thinking how every chord combination or rhyme has probably been used by someone already and that I can never be truly original or something similar to that. This results in a ton of unfinished drafts in my notes that I tell my myself I'll finish one day (but I'm not sure if I actually will) Oh, I'm an INTP btw

[@sophiaredwood5825]

@@restlessmosaic I’m slowly, slowly trying to tell myself this, hahaha. Like, if the perfect lyrics or structure aren’t coming, who cares, definitely not me, time to just keep writing anyway and enjoy whatever happens. (I do try to tell myself stuff like that out loud because all of my instincts tell me to run away from every shred of uncertainty or imperfection.) Once I learn to suppress the urge to throw away every imperfect project for a perfect, untainted idea, I think I’ll be able to finish things. Even better- the other day I finally realized that no matter what, there will ALWAYS be a new idea. Which means the current one will ALWAYS be discarded. So I might as well finish it and make it decent while it’s at the front of my brain, right? That’s been pushing me forward, just slightly. Thank you for your lovely advice, I’ll remember it next time I’m tempted to get up and walk away from the process 🤩

[@richardthury5293]

That sounds great! Making your own song is so much fun! I never wrote lyrics actually. I just like to sit down with my guitar and playing chords randomly. Music means a lot to me. It gives me the opportunity to ,,express'' myself. It's the best way to relax and recharge after a busy, long day. I say don't let yourself get distracted and finish those songs! (no pressure, just an advice😀) Good luck!

[@restlessmosaic]

@@larryplotter2607 Looking back, one of the best things that could have happened to curb this issue for me was that I started making music on my parents' Pentium I, and it had a fault in its memory that, if a song got on the corrupted bit, the project was unrecoverable. So I had to make a song and then delete the project or else I couldn't make another one. It got me into an extreme linearity on songmaking that I still basically have 20 years later. As for originality, I do a fair number of plagiarism/sanity checks throughout my projects (as a musician and a lawyer, it's doubly worrisome for me). What I've found works for me is that, if it's within 5 bpm of something similar in a song I like, that's indicative of borrowing too hard. Ultimately, one reason my songs are working better this time around compared to years ago is because I'm taking parts from many more songs (in disparate genres) than I'm used to. If you think of existing songs as blueprints for problem solving rather than blueprints for sounds, I find that it helps. FWIW, my music is done as Restless Mosaic if you want to check whether my approach is working. (I've been in the background of two videos on this channel, as a matter of fact, because Kristin is wonderful and nice.)

You hath inspired me, Dear Kristin. Allow me to share some cringy poetry from the days where I convinced myself I was a gifted poet.

My fondest memory was impressing my English teacher and the class, writing poetry with just four lines, it's wasn't even profound but at the time, it was the only one that had a good rhyme. The task laid out to us was just to write poetry, whatever that we can think of and just let the words take the stage, I still didn't understand why most of my classmates' just didn't rhyme or is overly drawn out with "big" science words. It was the only time my English teacher ever praised me lmao, she was not enthused by me never submitting or finishing most homework whatsoever.
