I notice the inspiration for my lyrics usually tends to come from either my feelings about something or an experience of some kind. One example is a good fight. There's nothing else that feels quite like the rush and intensity of a good fight, especially when you're feeling more or less equally matched...

As for forgetting my inspiration, that's a real problem for me as my memory isn't exactly the most reliable around I've found. Thankfully most security jobs require a little notepad for recording damage/suspicious activity, so when I get some lyrics hitting me as a result of something I can write them down.

Occasionally I'll remember something vividly for no apparent reason and that can also be a big help, unless it's happened while I've been away from pen and paper yet again.
