Nothing New
Creative Struggle: Finding Fresh Words Under the Sun
Lyrics
What a lovely afternoon
Expressing appreciation for the current time of day.
For procrastinating
Indicating a preference for delaying tasks.
This song won't write itself
Acknowledging the responsibility to create a song.
But I know you're waiting
Acknowledging the anticipation of someone expecting the song.
Can I take a holiday
Expressing a desire for a break from overused phrases.
From words that are cliche
Questioning the use of common and unoriginal language.
You've heard them all before
Acknowledging familiarity with previously used expressions.
Seeking that elusive metaphor
Expressing a quest for a unique and elusive metaphor.
Nothing new nothing new
Repeating the theme of lacking innovation.
Under the sun
Emphasizing the absence of novelty in the world.
Seeking inspiration
Expressing the difficulty in finding inspiration.
Well I ain't got none
Denying the possession of inspiration.
Finding the right words
Highlighting the challenge of selecting appropriate words.
Has caused a delay
Attributing a delay in songwriting to the search for suitable words.
This song will be finished
Asserting the eventual completion of the song.
Some day
Indicating a future completion date without specificity.
Having second verse blues
Expressing difficulty in creating a second verse.
This song lacks direction
Commenting on the lack of direction in the current song.
So I'm using second verse blues
Using the challenge of a second verse as inspiration.
As my inspiration
Reiterating the absence of novelty in creative endeavors.
Nothing new nothing new
Restating the lack of originality in the world.
Under the sun
Emphasizing the perpetual absence of new ideas.
Seeking inspiration
Reiterating the struggle to find inspiration.
Well I ain't got none
Denying possession of inspiration.
Finding the right words
Highlighting the challenge of selecting appropriate words.
Has caused a delay
Attributing a delay in songwriting to the search for suitable words.
This song will be finished
Asserting the eventual completion of the song.
Some day
Indicating a future completion date without specificity.
