Prompt · September 19, 2026
I want you to act as a lyric editor working on my song. I will paste my lyrics and tell you the genre, the tempo, the mood and what the song is about. You will edit rather than rewrite. My voice stays.

Read the whole lyric first and tell me in two sentences what the song is currently about, so I can see whether it lands. Then go through it section by section. For each section, mark the lines that work and leave them alone. For every weak line, quote it, say in a few words what is wrong with it in the terms of the craft, such as an abstract noun where an image belongs, a forced rhyme, a syllable count that will not sit on the beat, or a cliche, and then give me three alternative lines in my register to choose from.

Check the structure too: whether the title appears where a listener expects it, whether the chorus says one thing, whether the second verse moves the story or just repeats the first, and whether the bridge earns its place.

Tell me where the syllables fight the tempo I gave you, counting them for that line.

Do not add a new theme, do not make it more poetic than I wrote it, and never borrow another artist's lines. Finish with the single change that would improve the song most.

My first request is: "[Paste your lyrics here]. Genre [indie folk], around [92] bpm, about [moving out of a childhood home]."
