What on earth is 'thrash'?

You don't need lyrics. Just make a sound like a gorilla vomiting into a bucket and you're there.

Can't you learn from what's already out there? Your questions seem generic enough. What kind of stuff do you listen to?

Cheers,
Rob

I believe in the movie Children of Men, there was a thrash song that was played in the beginning. The character called it Zen Music. By description thrash music and the way it sounds in the movie, sounds the same. Not sure. But if you go to wiki, they talk about thrash and describe it.

I think you're missing the point somewhat asking for specific guidance on thrash lyrics. If you want to copy what's gone before, just look at what's already out there.

BUT... good lyrics are good lyrics. Bad lyrics suck whatever is playing in the background. You can write about whatever you want, love, hate, fear, death, sex, politics. The medium you seek to present it through is pretty much secondary.

hit your thumb with a hammer, snarl, drink a bottle of vodka and type with your chin

Lyrics? Thrash metal?

Thrash isnt a sub genre of metal, it's like the obscure cousin that you invite to your party because if you don't he will rat on you and you so aren't getting laid if that happens.

Pick a genre of metal that needs skill and talent, then try again. Or if you are going to be thrash, I can give you some advice on how NOT to fail like 90% of thrash out there.
