Feb 2022 comedy piano queer-with-piano
Had no ideas what to write
but I wanted to release a song tonight
so I tried the oldest trick in the book
get something out the door and let yourself off the hook
making music is a bit of a pain in the ass
inspiration comes, then by the time you write it's passed
try to have some insight
about what even sounds right
but I just gotta do it, I'm gonna just do it,
[chorus]
I'm going meta!
There's not much better
than going meta!
remove the pressure!
just loop those old four chords and sing
about the work of songwriting
and hope that somebody finds it
at least amusing
[verse 2]
The second verse also sucks
have to match the melodies you wrote before
here you're meant to sing something new
but let's just play the old bit, hope nobody notices
making music is a bit of a pain in the ass
inspiration comes, then by the time you write it's passed
try to have some insight
about what even sounds right
but I just gotta do it, I'm gonna just do it,
[chorus]
I'm going meta!
There's not much better
than going meta!
remove the pressure!
just loop those old four chords and sing
about the work of songwriting
and hope that somebody finds it
at least amusing

First of all, I love the Queer with Piano tag, in the footsteps of Elton John and Freddie Mercury. Nice!
The lyrics are superb, as always, and on point: they're so very relatable!
The beginning of the second verse made me laugh out loud! :D
I also like how your frustration manifests in your singing.
You're just gonna do it? I'm glad you did it!

Doesn't sound at all as if you were chasing inspiration. Love the lyrics. Reminds me a bit of "My Life Story" all in all.
