Any? I've never really been able to write lyrics… I don't mind links and long posts…
This is my songwriting process, which I feel has worked well for me over the years:
1. Go to a place where you will be able to concentrate. Distractions take my train of thought off-track, which is why I always do my thinking and writing in a remote, serene setting.
2. Develop a theme for your song.
3. Jot down your thoughts into your notebook. They can be as scrambled or organized as you want at this stage.
4. Divide what you have written into two or three sections — one for each verse.
5. Compose your verses (sometimes I will come up with a chorus first) while playing the song's melody and rhythm in your head.
6. Go over your "rough draft" and make amendments as necessary.
7. Re-write or type the finished product and begin the recording process.
I used to be in a band. The key is to KEEP writing songs. Even if you think they suck, just keep writing and writing and save everything in a notebook. You'll start to notice you are getting better, trust me. I'm also a big reader, like a couple books a month AT LEAST. I think that really assisted my Lyric writing skills drastically. Have fun! and be confident with what you are writing.

Just dig. Think about your life what's happening and how you feel. Also you can write about issues that you feel passionately about. Once you fing a topic that you care about or are passionate about, you will be able to write. What most people hat are trying to write lyrics are do is tryin to write about things tat are artificial to them. Things that famous artists are si ging about, but something that doesn't even relate to them. But if you can dig ino your soul you will fing the lyrics to a great sog. By the way all these songs that faous people write aren't even writen by them, so most of the time these songs don't relate to their lives either.

Same as for all fiction writing: Write what you know about. Anything else will seem tedious and artificial. This is not to say don't read a lot or absorb influences or do research. When you do these things, they become the essential part of you that must make its way to life on the page. But don't go places where you have no personal compass of experience or feeling. If you are a suburban kid, you probably — probably — shouldn't try to write about crack houses and drive bys and hard life on the block. At least not yet.

I'd recomend writing what you know. If you got your heart broken, write that, if you had a bad day write about that, if you had an awesome day write about that.

Where songwriting is concerned…I'm a strict minimalist. I firmly believe in the adage "less is more"…using a few words to convey a story. All of the songs that I write are like that (my catalog, although not as big as some, is extensive). 3-5 words each line is usually my aim (the bridge and the hook ususlly follow a similar pattern).
