I want to make my lyrics shine

I love music, and I'm so does everyone here. My favorite thing to so with music is to write my own stuff. Recently, I've started writing lyrics. Before that, it's just been stuff on my guitar. But I've noticed a problem with my lyrics. They don't shine the way I want them to. What I mean by this, is that they're just normal songs. You can look up a topic, and find a million songs that are almost identical. Now don't get me wrong, most of the songs are personal to that person, making them shine in their own way. But when you think about it, there are only a handful if songs that can really hit you. The lyrics convey the exact emotion you're feeling in that moment. ​but the problem with my lyrics is that they're not like that. I don't expect each and every single one of my songs to be a masterpiece that can hit top charts, but the ones that turn out decent are like thousands of other songs, the emotion is there, but it's still missing something. It's really hard to explain what I'm talking about, but given how many musicians are reading this, you've got to know what I mean, right? So here's my question: how do i make my lyrics shine and convey that deep emotion few songs manage to do?

A rhyme finder that goes by pronunciation, so it knows that "rain" and "name" rhyme

Made this because rhyme sites only give you perfect rhymes, so everyone ends up reaching for the same words. This one matches on pronunciation using the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, which means it finds the near rhymes too. "Rain" and "name" come back as a match because M and N are both nasals.

It also counts syllables per line and tags your rhyme scheme A/B/C as you type, so it's more of an editor than a lookup tool.

No AI in it, it's a phonetic dictionary and a set of matching rules. No account needed, nothing to pay for, no ads. There's an optional sign-in that only syncs your own lyrics between devices.

I had a reaaaally stupid idea and spent too much time on it not to share it somewhere

You know the Mario Kart Wii map Maple Treeway? This was my epiphany: "Treeway kinda sounds like threeway..."

And so I spent two and a half hours writing a verse and a chorus about someone going out on a date but realising the date didn't come alone, in fact they brought someone to who's intentions are to keep it PG... unless. BUT, THE TWIST: everything is mario.

...

[verse]

King out the coupe and my stachio sleazy 

Liquor’s cheap cheap, got naranja for mixer 

Plan is air tight like an amor-elixir

but a challenger approaches returning my ace serve

_

Ma cherie brought a double to thwart - yo she egging me 

On the spot, gears shift quick - fugasi bend a knee

Menage a trois inception scheme - “what is polygamy?”

Pairing two ‘cons to the switch - now’s her inside story

_

Played my cards right, main course has been eaten

Dessert is melonpan with a side of some peaches 

[chorus]

I said

It’s us, its Mii, its U its Wii, babe

But don’t you, Worry, hoe, ain’t greedy

If you pull up to the party with a +1 in your kart It’s not an

issue, sharing, Maple Treeway 

...

In my head every line fits ish if you speed up at the right parts?

First four bar is like dudududuh, dududududuDU du (final line is iffy).

second four bar is kinda loose before the dash(-), but after it's dududu DU dudu. Final two lines of the verse are suppooooosed to kiiinda match first part..?

The chorus has a simple dudu, dudu, dududuDU du idea, except the third line that has to be rapid fire so that it catches up by "sharing". Impossible to explain how it sounds in my head but I tried.

I'll explain the references in a comment but try to catch them yourself, hope you enjoyed, like and subscribe

2nd Bigger Piss

Times up

Termination ironized by jeer

no mechanics no liquids lets governor more swart the lesser jewer

have you seen the range by hiding trojan

damage i can cause just by sipping on ur fear

you have not begun your worded journey u fetus litmus

i have yet to seen such impaired little ballooning ego swollen circus

Apprehensiv and True Lies did it too

i dont blame you fr even valerix feared the hue and chose fool

cuz its jungle apex survival brother

you just littler than bottom tier algae found in brothels

Cuz organs die young when you foreginer

all your systems wired sour at least you grovel

shamed at the name cant face the magic gavel

paraded so hard lost your heart brain and soul together

your ugly homeless soundstage completely depleted by the message

i dont utter stammer and try to hammer young un my deliverance clearance

Who is left is never the question

I have no opponents to match the aggression

wherewolf where unneccessary where og crew except delusional brittany

I applaud you for cowardice but simulatneously you are epitomizing mundanity

Wheres the pity
Wheres that knowledgeable query of whats up sir whats the problem sickly
I can see ur degenerate without the faintest
There are no pillars of perception or convictions even if u commit to rainbowed dickless righteous to try remain i aint faked mess

u a mess

bested out of misplaced deceit and ingrown mutilated stems

strength is not a length for you its inner deeper simulated stench

situated even steeper now you was once benched now just ill mannered wench

the sooner you answer this simple capitulation the greater magnitude of revelation you shall comprehend
