The hard thing hard thing about writing song lyrics is that you can't really tell if it's shit or not. What exactly makes Jeff mangums lyrics so good?

Song lyrics are secondary to me. If the music is good, I don’t care what they’re singing about

Women and people who like rap exclusively care about lyrics.

If you want to write good lyrics or be a good lyricist you should study poetry, now this is a art unto itself and shouldn't be treated lightly.
Its all about taking the reader on an emotional journey and about words and the musicality of words, its about the senses and poetic devices like consonance assonance alliteration, you could spend your life trying to figure out poetry

i can honestly hear it
the drums, the bassline, the melody
some nigga rappin the first part
>ta-da da-da da-da da-dah
>dada-da-dah-dat
some white trailer trash foids on the chorus
>DAD-DAADA DAD-DAADA
with the guitars accentuating the stressed parts of the words

oh wait, it needs to be a wigga for the lyrics to make sense
i actually intended to quote three different types of songs, but i realized you could thematically string them together into a really weird avant-gardistic constellation of a song

The lyrics are good if I wrote them. The lyrics are shit if you wrote them.

Kid A lyrics were literally pulled out of a hat and it's a 10/10 album

good lyrics can elevate it sure, but it's mostly about delivery.

99.9% of song lyrics are extremely cringey if you just read them without the music
