When the Lyrics Know Before You Do

Sometimes, I don’t even realise what I’m feeling… until the lyrics tell me.

That might sound strange, but it’s true. There have been so many moments when I’ve sat down to write a new song, not knowing what would come out — only to realise later that my soul had already figured it out. The words just hadn’t reached my conscious mind yet. But the lyrics knew.

That’s the magic of songwriting.
It bypasses the noise, the overthinking, the fear.
It goes straight to the heart — to that deeper part of you that’s always been guiding the way.

There were times when I thought I was writing a song about hope… but looking back, I was quietly asking for strength. Or times when I thought I was just creating a feel-good track — but the lyrics were gently urging me to let go of something I hadn’t even admitted to myself yet.

That’s the beauty of music.
It doesn’t just help you feel better — it helps you understand yourself.
It reflects you.

Songwriting has become a mirror for me. Not the kind that shows you what you look like on the outside — but one that softly reveals who you are becoming on the inside. It’s been a quiet but powerful tool in my journey of self-growth. Every time I write a song, I get to meet a new version of myself. I get to explore emotions, release what no longer serves me, and rediscover my own voice.

It’s easy to ignore your inner voice when life gets busy. It’s easy to brush off emotions when they feel too heavy to hold. But when I write — when I hear the right melody and start letting the lyrics flow — that voice inside me becomes louder. Clearer. Kinder.

Sometimes I feel like the lyrics know exactly what I need to hear before I even know how to ask for it.
And that’s why I keep writing.

Not just to make music, but to stay connected to myself.
To keep growing, evolving, learning.
To remember that I’m allowed to feel, to heal, to rise.
To speak my truth — even if I’m still figuring it out along the way.

And sometimes, songwriting brings me back to joy.
It reminds me that I am allowed to feel happy — even after hard seasons.
There’s something so beautiful about creating a song that comes from pain but transforms into light. That’s what self-growth feels like. That’s what real healing looks like.

If you’ve ever listened to a song and thought, “That’s exactly how I feel, but I didn’t know how to say it,” then you know what I mean.
That’s the power of music.
That’s the beauty of lyrics that come straight from the heart.

So I’ll keep writing, keep singing, keep creating — because this is my way of staying grounded, staying open, and staying true. And if my words help someone else feel a little less alone, a little more happy, or a little more themselves… then it’s all worth it.

With love,
