It’s like poring over a map and trying to work out the route when I don’t know the destination, or throwing things aimlessly at a wall in the hope something sticks.
Then something happens, much like you described, and a verse lyric clicks, or a chorus, and I feel an overwhelming sense of relief because I KNOW WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT!!! It really is the best feeling because, even though I may only have a scrap to work with and a lot of work to put in, I know the destination and which direction to head in.
