How to write kickass trance lyrics?

Does anybody have any ideas? What you expected to hear? Are any universal rules? Maybe some secret words in english?
Look forward for any ideas

You mean "Do"?


id suggest writing about anything random then distorting the vocals, filtering and adding a shit load of delay. about secrets id just suggest make sure the vocals arent about anything that makes sense, its an important rule in trance that tracks with sensible lyrics are senseless...

Consider (if you want) trance and lyrics as being on opposite ends of a spectrum. The more of one you have, the less of the other you have.

Obviously, there are exceptions (probably many), but IMO lyrics detract from the music, unless the singer's voice is used as more of an 'instrument' rather than having the song being more focused on the words.

I think it is important to find a source of words of wisdom and then build up your lyrics from there. Take, for example, these wise words of wisdom from BlackSheep's tune called 'Pass the 40'. You may want to juggle the lyrics around, add, or take them away. Just make sure you don't infringe any copyright. Anyway, here are the lyrics:

I'm the suger dick daddy,
Fuck what you think.
Pass the 40 right by me
Cause you know I don't drink.
I remain sober when I drop a hit,
But I put gum in my ass cause I like to pop shit.
When it comes to pullin' gums I might do it.
But put your guard up Black
And I'm a run right through it.
Don't sleep on the side
Thinkin' I'm easy to beat.
Cause I'1l be up in that ass like a bike seat.
And when it comes to boneing I'm Mr Erecticy
Hoes come by the crib for a free hysterectomy.
I've got a dick that I brag about,
I put it in fast then I drag it out.
Girls, I'll be the special friend see,
Cause your man suffers from pseudo-penis envy.

Suppose you can have singing lyrics or just speaking lyrics. I've looked on sites for poetry or any speaking that sounds good, then apply loads of reverb and FX and it can soound quite good.
