🎵 Dreamy Poetic Song Using Rain on the Window as a Metaphor for Social Conformity

(Prompt v2 – with Enhanced Lyrical Control)


🪞 THEME & METAPHOR

  • Use rain on the window as a central metaphor.

  • Represents quiet social pressure to conform — emotional drift, quiet resistance, longing for autonomy.

  • Do not mention “peer pressure” or similar terms.

  • Explore internal conflict without overt explanation.


🎨 STYLE & TONE

  • Dreamy, slightly melancholic, like a slow indie ballad or alt-folk lullaby.

  • Poetic, musical, subtle.

  • Use simple phrases with emotional depth, not academic or overly abstract.

  • Reference tone: Phoebe Bridgers, Leif Vollebekk, Big Thief.


🧍 CHARACTER SCENES (2x Verses)

  • Two verses, each 8+ lines.

  • Each verse paints a clear, emotionally resonant scene with a specific character, name, and place.

  • Scenes must show tension between inner self and outer pressure.

  • Include mundane but meaningful details (e.g., bus ride, classroom lights, group text pings).

  • No generic or faceless experiences.


✍️ COMPOSITION DETAILS

  • Avoid clichés at all costs. Use fresh imagery and inventive phrasing.

  • Use natural rhythm and internal rhyme where possible.

  • Include moments of clever wordplay or double meaning, but keep them grounded in emotion.

  • Allow for moments of silence, hesitations, or breaks in flow — as if sung by someone thinking while they sing.


🎭 LYRICAL STRUCTURE CONTROLS

✅ ANAPHORA (Optional Section Use)

  • Use anaphora (repeating the first few words of each line) in one verse or bridge.

  • Repetition should add emotional momentum, not filler.

  • Example (don’t copy):

    • I watch the steam rise

    • I watch them all smile

    • I watch myself quiet

✅ INTERNAL RHYME

  • Subtly integrate internal rhyme for musicality and cleverness.

  • Keep it smooth — avoid sounding like a rap.

  • Example:

    • “Her breath on the glass / fades fast with the class.”

✅ LIST-LIKE VERSES

  • One verse can follow a list-style format, using poetic logic rather than linear narrative.

  • Each line should contribute a new layer or twist.

  • Example (don’t copy):

    • A note in a locker, a seat by the door / A silence too heavy, a laugh that’s a chore…


🔁 REPETITION & MOTIF

  • Rain or windows should recur in each section, with evolving emotional tone.

  • Use metaphor progression:

    • From curiosity → discomfort → reflection → resistance

  • You may return to a central image or phrase (e.g., “the rain draws a line”) in chorus or outro.


🧭 PROGRESSION & CONTRAST

  • The second verse should shift perspective slightly:

    • Different character, or same character at a later emotional moment.

    • Reveal growth, fatigue, decision, or clarity.

  • Chorus should contrast the verses:

    • Verses = concrete, narrative

    • Chorus = reflective, metaphorical


✅ STRUCTURE SUMMARY

  • Verse 1 (8+ lines): Detailed character scene

  • Chorus: Reflective, metaphor-rich, musical

  • Verse 2 (8+ lines): New character or evolved moment

  • Optional Bridge: Stylistic variation (anaphora or spoken-feeling)

  • Outro: Repeat central metaphor or offer emotional closure
