To an aspiring record artist, writing songs is the hardest thing to do. Coming up with the right choice of words and putting it all together to become a song, can be a nerve-wracking exercise.
When it comes to songwriting, it does not really matter whether your choice of words is in a form of a poem or not. The choice of words that you put into a song will vary with how you really want to express yourself in that song, depending on your state of mind.
Believe me, there are plenty of factors at play in this endeavor: Bliss, anger, frustration, determination, exuberance, elation, exultation, and even raging hormones (think of the band Simple Plan) are just some of the factors.
There are also plenty of genres and variations when it comes to songwriting. A lot of songwriters write their songs with a torrent of feelings and emotion, fully expressing their thoughts on how they truly feel. Then reaching out to listeners to let them understand in a cacophony of different instruments that whip up a frenzy of that same emotion!
You can hear it more often on how they plot the lyrics. How the variations of treble, timbre, bass and what have you to express those emotions in ways that both the artist and the listener connects and understand in the ties that bond: their emotion through their ears.
Giving full emphasis on how the song goes with the combination of lyrics and the accompaniment of the rhythm rolled into one.
