I have been creating lyrics for singers and bands for around 10 years, a couple of examples in different genres below! (does not mean that the lyrics were sung appropriately afterwards, but it is what it is, lol). A few current projects are not released yet but i can share upon request.

With that, for a couple of years, with lots of AI generated songs, people come with AI generated materials to me to change it to meaningful lyrics without changing the rhythms & vowels sung, melody and etc. Here’s before-after:

before:
Verse 1:
I trace my name in the fogged-up glass,
A face I know, but it won’t look back.
They call me flawless, they call me bright,
But something’s shifting in the light.

Pre-Chorus:
Every shadow knows my name,
Every whisper sounds the same.
I try to run, I try to stay,
But I can’t tell who’s in my place.

Chorus:
They don’t see—what’s behind my eyes,
They don’t hear—how the silence lies.
I could scream, I could fall,
But they’d never know at all.
They don’t see—who I’ve come to be,
They don’t feel—what’s inside of me.
I could break, I could bleed,
But they don’t see… they don’t see.

Verse 2:
She moves like me, she wears my skin,
A hollow voice trapped deep within.
They praise her beauty, they love her grace,
But I see nothing in her face.

Pre-Chorus:
Every mirror, every frame,
Holds a girl I cannot name.
I reach for her, but she won’t break,
A perfect doll, a perfect fake.

Chorus
They don’t see—what’s behind my eyes,
They don’t hear—how the silence lies.
I could scream, I could fall,
But they’d never know at all.
They don’t see—who I’ve come to be,
They don’t feel—what’s inside of me.
I could break, I could bleed,
But they don’t see… they don’t see.

Bridge
If I disappear, will she remain?
If I let go, will she take my name?
Or am I just the fading trace,
A shadow lost in empty space?

They don’t see—what’s behind my eyes,
They don’t hear—how the silence lies.
I could scream, I could fall,
But they’d never know at all.
They don’t see—who I’ve come to be,
They don’t feel—what’s inside of me.
I could break, I could bleed,
But they don’t see… they don’t see.
