literature in lyrics

 For some reason, it never occurred to me that musical lyrics were a form of literature itself. The reasoning behind this may be because of the oversaturation of the music industry that is widely perceived or its prominence of elite individuals at face value. But the root of this epiphany was the fact I realized that writing lyrics is not something that you need a record label to do or need to be ‘qualified’ for, which I assumed is a hypothetical predetermined factor that decides your success or not. 

Once you take away the pressures of the industry, writing lyrics seems as delightful as writing a poem or a narrative with a tune in the background! What I am trying to say here is that you do not need to be exactly ‘famous’ to write songs and that you do not even need to share your music if you want to, but you should not be scared to try and write a song because you think you do not have that reassurance of being ‘certified’ enough. 

Continuing the fact that it never hit me that lyrics are a form of literature, I find it foolish that I did not realize that I myself could write lyrics sooner because personally, when I listen to a song, it is the lyrics that attract me toward certain artists and lyrics. But again, the fact that I did not start thinking of writing songs or poems until recently is what disappointed me the most. So, what I want to conclude from this post is that you should try writing songs even if you are scared or intimidated by the music industry because it matters to start out somewhere!
