Memorization
Now that you have both lines memorized at reduced speed, your next task is to combine them and memorize the whole lyric at full speed. Memorization is always the most challenging step, but it's 100% possible if you focus and be patient. Also, if you find yourself hitting a ceiling, take a rest.
Your brain is like a muscle - it needs to rest after it works, otherwise it won't grow. You will reach a max-out point at which it is impossible to memorize any more lyrics. There's no point in frustrating yourself and trying to push through the brick ceiling. Just go do something else for a while and come back when your brain is nice and rested. You'll be amazed to see how much easier things are one a fresh brain.
I have broken the memorization process down into steps. Follow the steps in order, and for each one:

I have broken the memorization process down into steps. Follow the steps in order, and for each one:
- Press play and sing along with the artist until the end of the track.
- Try to recall the lyrics from memory without the aid of the audio. If you cannot do this, repeat the process until you can.
- Once you are able to sing the lyrics out loud to yourself from memory, move on to the next step.
Step 1: Review
Step 2: Combine the Lyrics
Step 3: Build Speed
This is a good time to take a break. It can be extremely difficult to build speed while it is still a challenge to simply remember all the syllables in order. If you think you can go on, please be my guest. Otherwise, I recommend practicing as much as you can at reduced speed, then waiting a full night of sleep before trying to build speed. Most new neural connections are formed during sleep, so you will be pleasantly surprised when you wake up tomorrow and these words just roll of your tongue.
Also, if you would rather submit a reduced speed version of the song than build speed now, you may do so at The Submission Page.

Once you are comfortable reciting the lines from the last step without the aid of audio, move on to the Submission page.
