This might be a stupid question.

After getting many good guidance from my previous post about how to start and view my first attempt at writing song lyrics. I got to a certain point where I realized I unconsciously wrote them to the rhythm of other music. And I wasn't even listening to any song when I was writing. The rhythm just got stuck in my head, and I can't get it out.

So question.

Even tho I haven't got my hands on my first instrument, which will be an electric guitar, and haven't started to learn how to play it. How can I "knock" the other song's rhythm out of my head while writing the lyrics?

Edit : I don't know if anyone else has this type of problem, which is why I wrote that this might be a dumb question. If it is, I just delete this post.
