Music is a drug. The lyrics, my heroine.

Most of the stuff I write is totally abstract.
""Mirror Tilted Sideways
Leaning over, curving,
the mirror tilted sideways,
over what you could have been.
Wishing with a whisper my solemn enemy.
Whats dead is dead and can be,
an optomistic twisting of a better hand to hold it,
with catatonia kicking in, im late to being me.
Bowing heads, oblivious,
a crowbar in the mainstream,
life from dream to dream.
Bullshit in its sincerity.
Catch your cold reflection,
a haze of mellow sadness
shines to wild in the eyes,
severing subtle graces of
faithlessness despised.
Hour in a day, wingless flys dont fly away,
disappoint the masses with your overrated displays,
like the solitary figure left alone to his disgrace.
Souls to homeless wonders,
our filth to greed is fine,
perfection feeds the vanity of those still left in line,
no hint of simple suffers the bridge
to ask the pointless why.""
I try to write things that can have a variety of meanings to different people depending on their life experiences
for example:
""Keep smiling for me,
open lipped, teethless grin,
Sheep in wolfs clothing,
bare the sin, Slide, Slide.
Open lipped, wild in eyes,
slide, slide,
hold up your head,
palm to side,
slide, slide""
to me its about 2 things;
first:
its about an unwanted child being born out of wedlock, and the parent then falling in love with it.
secondly:
its about a violent relationship between 2 people that keeps the victim trapped and falling for the 'lies' and manipulation. And to many others its been totally different.
I love writing like that. When I write its totally random words I write down, and then I look at it afterwards and decide if I can see 2 things that it could mean. If so, I keep it. If not I store it for ideas when I get 'writers block'. 
Just thought Id give you guys some insight into how I write songs/lyrics.
