This is one of the best executions of a lyric workshop I've ever seen. I love how the backgrounds lend themselves to what you're saying, so it's engaging my mind in a few different ways to illustrate the point. Very well done!

So many great ideas. Sound
I love the random slaying of Jerry Seinfield in the middle ???
1:2nd way to use the same formula to generate more specific lyrical ideas so ,take (idea 1 & idea 2) & list everything associated with each idea people,places,things,events,words,phrases,images,cliches,& even opposites, Then look over the list & start to think about how each 1 of the items in each column could relate to each other,when you make your list make sure enough to edit yourself,The longer the list the more possibilities,so take your time (10-15 mint)
2:On each column take 2 ideas at a time letting more emerge out of the connections do this by imposing the values of 1 idea to other by association & then asking W questions. This should help generate a lot of lyric ideas
3:We might also find a linking term & this is a good way to find a theme that emerges organically ,Theme & emotion/attitude is way to focus your ideas,think of it as your guide you cab go explore your ideas in any way you want knowing you have somewhere to come back to & something to tie it all together ,you can go off on tanguents & then pick out things pick out the things that fit into the theme & emotion ,this allows you to keep focused & disregard any material that isn't fit your song ,this way you can write a little or a lot & be confident you have whatever material you need to write your lyrics
(Ex MS volcano idea) (short version of list)**
But we take 1 ITE from each column & brainstorm how they can be linked,then play with the idea of the theme & attitude
Fantastic! Can’t seem to find part 3 though…?
