Darnit! I was doing so well on the first one! "I...chaotically...I have? all...oh, no, 'all my songs'. From two? Nothing from two? Choose--OK, so I chaotically...no, I randomly chose from all my songs...oh, damn it, this isn't a lyrics, this is just the explanation of the meme."
Although I did get confused with the "nothing from two songs." Clearly wrong, but--two is the source, and zero is the quality of that source? No two? And then sound-as-the-instrument-of-art means "song", but then...the source of the song is "two with the quality of nothing"? And this is the patient, I see that, so this is what's being selected from your song collection, but what is it? Bookish? Cnoocy?
Also, in the second sequence of the meme description....it looks like "seven" is a quality of "word" (or, well, "word from-these-songs", or "lyrics"). Which raises in my mind an interesting question: how do you distinguish "seven words from each song" from "seven words-from-songs" (i.e. seven lyrics)? It looks like either case ought to be "songs are the source, seven is the quality, and they're words", but the scope is different.
Boy, I wish I knew that! Any suggestions? (Though I did figure out how to say "begins to X" as part of this challenge.) At any rate, be advised that "Seven" almost always actually indicates "many", especially when it's a "M"odifier instead of an "I"dea.
