I like one line near the end the best.

    Don’t just kill your darlings. Autopsy them. Study the corpse.

That IS a great line. I've been doing this a lot of late. Just because the song may not be all that great, doesn't mean it doesn't have something to teach me. There are a TON of songs that i've written that have taught me about myself.

For example, what the hell did this song mean?

When I wrote it, I had no idea. It was only later that it was made clearer to me.
