how can you put down meaningful lyrics without sounding like a whining emo kid?

don't talk about cutting or dying.

real easy.

I write emotionaly without being cliche or overly dramtic. it really isn't that hard.

Look at some of my post that involve lyrics. I write in a very free verse style and you might not want to do that, but hopefully it will give you an idea on hwo to balance wordplay with emotion.

the rest is up to you.
