Q: What is the best way to write lyrics? I'm always struggling with that. It's hard to find rhymes that make sense and mine always sound so cheesy
A: NEVER CHASE THE RHYME. there is nothing worse than a contrived rhyme. Also, when you chase rhymes, that implies that all your lines will be in sets of 2 that are all the same length. that's just not the way it has to work. Really just open your mind up and take it moment by moment. ask yourself what could you do at each moment that would excite You?  you would be surprised how often rhymes show up automatically. but another important thing to remember about "rhymes" in music, --- it really doesn't matter if the consonants rhyme. it really just matters if the vowel rhymes. in music, "fine" and "time" rhyme. no one will ever complain about that. i like to stretch it even more, and sometimes it is actually enjoyable when you break the rhyme. but i will say this again, ...... do not chase the rhyme. the rhymes will always come to you if the time is right. also i should probably mention that i only write lyrics together with the melody. if you are writing only lyrics without a melody, i can understand why you might think you need to search for rhymes. but if put it to a melody, what you will find that the rhymes will want to be in all different places, and the rhymes that you had on paper pre-melody will no longer work. Really what i'm trying to say is, there is absolutely no rules, remain open, and have fun. and never chase rhymes, you will find them coming to you when the time is right
