Q: A few days ago this one line for a song popped into my head. It sounds really good and seems really powerful to me and I really want to write a song around it but I can't figure out what I want it to mean. I don't know how literal I want it to be, I don't know what parts of it should and shouldn't be a metaphor, etc. Any advice?
A: yes, if you can't figure out what to do with it, add it to the list. If you want to try to figure out what to do with it now, add it to the list anyway, but, the first step in figuring out what to do with it is: figure out if it's the beginning or not the beginning. If you're sure it's the beginning, then just figure out what comes next, and if you're sure it's not the beginning then you're kinda fucked, but i have some tips for that too
