Meta in the lyric box
Core idea
Use a simple rule:
• Square brackets [ ] = section and arrangement cues
• Parentheses ( ) = performance and delivery cues
That keeps things readable for you and clear for Suno.
Practical patterns you can steal
You don’t need many cues—1–2 per section is usually enough.
Section tags (at the start of lines):
• [Intro – sparse, lonely]
• [Verse 1 – low energy, close-up vocal]
• [Chorus – big, anthemic, wide]
Performance tags (inline in parentheses):
• “I’m still calling your name (barely above a whisper)”
• “I rise again (belted, confident)”
One simple action to try today
Take a verse + chorus you already like and:
1. Add one [section + energy] tag above each part.
2. Add one performance cue in parentheses to your most important chorus line.
3. Regenerate once, changing only those meta cues.
You’ll quickly feel what each type of cue actually controls.
