palindrome song: how to make a song the same forward or reverse (w. lyrics)

Music:
Option 1: play one sound file forward, copy it then reverse it, and then paste it on top of the original
and / or
Option 2: with midi : trigger sounds on a grid display in patterns that are the same left to right as they are right to left. for example, a triangle with an upside down triangle inside of it. It sounds good if the triggers make up notes of a chord. make the samples that are triggered to be sounds that are the same forward or reverse (see option 1).

Lyrics:
say what you want to say, then play it backwards and look for what it says. be imaginitive. for example i tried: "a cycle outside a cycle" and got "look outside, it's light" when I reversed it. paste the first then the reverse (or vice versa =) ) spaced the same time from the center.

it may take a little work on the lyrics, you have to speak/'sing' in between the two phrases. you can apply music: option 1 to the lyrics to help out.
