I am so fucking out of ideas. I used to be so creative and now I'm old and washed up. God I wish I was 16 again.

what you need is what is called in literature and poetry is called a "conceit". or basically an extended metaphor. I stole this idea from the script writer of the movie taxi driver. Basically his method is to take something that is bothering you and create a metaphor for it. Like, if you were gay, dont write about being gay, write about someone who lives a double life like a spy

Or if you are feeling lost, what else is lost, being lost in a forest. write a song about that.

come up with a metaphor for your head being empty.
Like a zombie. You feel like a zombie, write a song about a zombie
like misfits style.

Did you even read what i wrote, you dont need to be original, just need an extended metaphor

Let me guess, you're 25 now. At least in my experience, when you're a teenager you'll just shit out whatever and you're happy just to do that. When you get older, you're more discerning, which can produce better art but also makes it more difficult. If you're feeling stuck, just shit out whatever, get the juices flowing again
