I’m really interested in where people get their inspiration. I’m so fed up of writing the same old bollocks about women and the usual crap.

I think Claudio Sanchez’s concept is fucking awesome and it has inspired me to write my lyrics from a completely different angle.

(Coheed and Cambria is not only the name of their band but it is also the name of the two main characters in a science-fiction/fantasy world that Claudio created… Btw, does anyone when the graphic novels are coming out?)

So what do you write songs about?

Can anyone give me some examples of other interesting concepts?

sye all you write about is sex. lets be honest now.

Why not write a song about how sick and tired you are of all the songs about women? You could call it, "No more old bollocks about women and the usual crap". Watch out though, with an essay of a song title like that, MMW might nick it.

Another thing you might want to try is writing about Vikings, Goblins and magical swords - hair-metal style. You know, keepin it real n' all. Another idea is to take a magazine, put it in a shredder, pick up 30 random pieces and make a song out of the bits. But only if you can make it sound profound n shit. It's no use using a cookery magazine and singing "two whole egg whites, simmer gently, seive until fine". Disaffected youths won't dig that shit. Try using a current affairs magazine mixed in with SFX and confuse a generation. Take drugs too.

If all else fails you could write a song about women and the usual crap.

P.S. I hate when people mix Sci-Fi/Fantasty. 9/10 it sucks.
