Though I have found the more fun you have with writing the better the lyrics might very well be in the end. It's also good to write some stuff out then come back to it in a week then go over whether or not you like them anymore. Cause you might think hey that sounds bad ass now, and then you read it a week later and it sounds lame as hell.
Just been my experience with lyrics. Though there are plenty of funny death metal bands n such with hilarious lyrics muffled under bad ass music. Especially Emperor.
