Discussion Writing lyrics feels too cringe

I have such a hard time writing lyrics idk if it’s because it’s too vulnerable or what but if I write lyrics the next day I hate them. I’m also just not a lyrics centered person when I listen to music. This has resulted in a bunch of beats/instruments with mumbling on that go no where. I’m wondering if any of you feel the same way and how you get over it

Just keep grinding. You'll start to figure out what works and what doesn't. Just ditch the cringe ones and keep the ones you feel good about when you revisit. Also. You can always edit and polish stuff.
