The Weeknd

When you're traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually. Conversations with women with different accents and stories told in those accents. I like to create characters based on different people I've met, and relationships. I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events.

Canadian Musician

Joyner Lucas

Honestly, when I do a lot of records where it's super lyrical, all that it is to prove and to show people, like, I can really rap. I can switch flows - I can go with the best of them - so first of all, I want you to respect me as a rapper.

American Poet

James Mercer

Lyrically, I think I'm frustrated with this whole process of trying to figure out what I believe about the world and life. I don't like to adopt a sort of guiding philosophy.

American Musician

Hopsin

Phil Elverum

I can't bring myself to release an instrumental album because I feel like I want some meat on the bone. Something to chew on, lyrically and content-wise.

Jeff Hanneman

The intent of Slayer's musical and lyrical content has always been selfish. We feel very strongly about the importance of staying true to ourselves.

Ronnie James Dio

Lyrically I like to use themes that make the listener use his or her imagination, and to give a little of the lessons I've learned in my own life.

Glenn Hughes

I think I'm better than I was in my younger days, because I'm exploring deep lyrical material, and I've been sober for a while now.

British Musician

Scott Weiland

Lyrically, there's a lot of songs that are influenced by my wife. They're about my wife and I.

Bazzi

Lyrically and melodically, Drake was definitely a big influence of mine.

 When we think about how we're going to make the world a better place, we think education; that's where we put a lot of money. Education is going to give us, not only commercial skills, industrial skills, it's also going to make us better people.

 Prometheus enjoyed a resurgence in the literature of the Romantic Period during the 18th century.

 to Pablo Neruda's "Ode to an Onion." Poetry, like art itself, has a way of challenging simple definitions. While the rhythmic patterns of the earliest poems were a way to remember stories even before the advent of writing, a poem doesn't need to be lyrical.

 You choose in your own tempo in your own way to follow the line, but you must respect it, more or less. And these little dots, these represent a sort of sound that's not a vocal, not a lyrical way of expressing the voice.
