Regarding with song writing, well I guess it just comes from within. Like what others said, it really depends which comes first. I think great songs come from wonderful inspiration/s. And I'm saying that in a good way, not insinuating other things. :) Anyway, good luck on your song writing! Have fun!
Cheers to all!
