You've probably stared at Suno's interface, knowing you want to create something deeper than "love song in the style of Taylor Swift" but struggling to craft prompts that actually generate the poetic, metaphor-rich lyrics you're craving. Most songwriters end up with generic outputs because they don't know how to guide AI toward the vivid, symbolic language that makes songs truly memorable. The difference between boring AI-generated lyrics and captivating ones often comes down to how specifically you can direct the metaphorical framework.
These 12 copy-ready Suno prompts solve that problem by giving you precise instructions for generating songs built around powerful metaphors like "ocean as memory," "city as living organism," and "seasons as relationship stages." Each prompt includes detailed guidance for structure, instrumentation, vocal style, and most importantly, how to weave consistent metaphorical language throughout your lyrics without falling into cliché territory. Instead of getting bland, surface-level songs, you'll generate tracks with the kind of poetic depth and symbolic richness that connects with listeners on an emotional level.
1
Ocean-as-Memory Indie Ballad
Create a 3-minute indie-folk song (Acoustic guitar, soft piano, light brushes on drums) in D major at 72 BPM. Use the ocean as a central metaphor for memory: waves = returning memories, tides = time. Include two verses, a pre-chorus, a chorus with a repeated ocean image, and a bridge that shifts the metaphor to a tide pulling away. Keep vocals intimate, female voice, warm and breathy. Avoid direct cliches like "waves of emotion."
Directs Suno to craft structure, instrumentation, tempo, vocal tone, and a specific metaphor motif (ocean-as-memory) while avoiding clichés.
2
City-as-Organism R&B Groove
Produce a 2:45 moody R&B track (80 BPM, A minor) with synth bass, warm Rhodes, sparse percussion. Use the city as a living organism metaphor — streets as veins, neon as heartbeat. Write two verses, chorus, and a short outro that personifies the city responding to the narrator. Vocal style: smooth male R&B, light falsetto in chorus. Include a memorable one-line hook using city-as-heart imagery.
Specifies genre, tempo, instruments, vocal style, and a cohesive city-as-organism metaphor to shape lyrics and hook.
3
Space-as-Loneliness Synth Pop
Generate a 3:15 synth-pop song (tempo 100 BPM, key G major) where outer space is a metaphor for loneliness and distance. Use imagery like planets as distant friends, radio static as missed calls. Structure: verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge that imagines docking with another ship. Vocal style: airy female with clear phrasing. Include a chorus line that compares stars to small promises.
Guides Suno to create a synth-pop track using space metaphors to convey loneliness, with specified structure and vocal tone.
4
Garden-as-Healing Folk-Country
Compose a 3:30 country-folk song (G major, 78 BPM) where a garden is used as a metaphor for healing and recovery. Use concrete gardening actions (planting, pruning, watering) as metaphors for emotional repair. Include chorus with repeated gardening image and a bridge describing the first bloom. Vocal: warm, slightly twangy female or duet harmony on the final chorus. Acoustic guitar, upright bass, light pedal steel.
Focuses on using gardening actions concretely as metaphors for healing, with clear instrumentation and vocal arrangement.
5
Machine-as-Heart Electro-Pop
Create a 3:00 electro-pop track (120 BPM, C minor) where machinery and clocks become metaphors for a failing relationship. Use metronomic percussion as a heartbeat that stutters. Structure: intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, synth breakdown, final chorus. Write lyrics with mechanical verbs (gears, cogs, reboot) while keeping emotional warmth. Vocal: slightly processed, male or female.
Requests electro-pop arrangement with machine metaphors to portray relationship breakdown, including rhythmic heartbeat motif and lyric style.
6
River-as-Time Blues
Write a 4:00 slow blues number (E blues scale, 60 BPM) where a river functions as a metaphor for time's passage. Use imagery of stones, current, and riverbanks. Structure: 12-bar blues verses with a repeated chorus line equating carrying away to forgetting. Vocal style: gritty, soulful male blues voice with harmonica fills and slide guitar.
Specifies blues form, tempo, key, and consistent river-as-time imagery to anchor the lyrics and arrangement.
7
Seasons-as-Relationships Pop-Rock Anthem
Produce a 3:20 pop-rock anthem (key A major, 110 BPM) that maps the arc of a relationship onto the four seasons. Each verse should represent a season (spring: beginning, summer: peak, autumn: change, winter: distance), with a soaring chorus that ties them together. Instruments: electric guitars, driving drums, layered gang vocals on the final chorus. Vocal: energetic, anthemic male or female.
Creates a clear seasonal metaphor structure across verses and an anthemic chorus, with instrumentation and vocal style to match pop-rock energy.
