Exactly!
Like a monkey at a slot machine.
Except, in your case, the monkey thinks that he is actually making the music.

Some artists would have you believe that becoming a songwriter is a gift bestowed upon you from the Gods and I plan to convince you that this is not true.

Writing songs is hard work and sometimes a lot of trial and error takes place

A common theme I hear from well-known singer songwriters is that they had to fake it until they made it, and some songwriters who have been doing it for decades (such as Paul McCartney, James Taylor…) say that the songwriting process is still this mysterious, magical thing that sort of happens through trial and error. I must I say I fully agree that songwriting has a strong element of chance – the stars aligning just right to get those lyrics to truly speak over the melody.
