Feedback Request My Girl Mini

• Upvotes

Red, white and new

She was beautiful too

She took me to places I never knew

When purring she went vroom vroom!

She heated me up

She cooled me down

She even blew on me all over town

Let me tell you, there was something about that girl that even made my ass cheeks blush

RED...

The hotter it got the faster I would go

It was a sight to see

Zoom

Zoom

We really put on a show

People would stare

People would wave

People would even point too

As my girl was exciting see

Especially when we went vroom vroom

Then Zoom Zoom

You would even love My Girl Mini Cooper too

Feedback Request Hi everyone! 👋 I'd love some feedback on a new song I've been working on called "Second Language"

• Upvotes

Second Language.

(Minimalist, haunting and cinematic. Slow piano, distant strings, soft reverb-heavy vocals and a feeling of quiet resignation. The song should feel reflective rather than angry, as though the narrator is revealing a secret they've been hiding for years.)

Verse 1:

You learn a second language

when you're young,

one word at a time,

one sound at a time.

Mine arrived differently,

without a classroom,

without a warning.

Pre-Chorus:

My second language,

it came to me by force,

a secret tongue

nobody knew was there...

Chorus:

I speak my second language

better than my first.

"I'm fine."

"Don't worry."

"It doesn't hurt."

You'd never even notice

what I'm really saying,

because I'm fluent

in my second language.

Verse 2:

Every test became a lesson,

every wound a new phrase,

every disappointment

added words to the page.

Soon I could speak it

without even thinking,

a language so familiar

it started sounding true.

Pre-Chorus:

My second language,

it came to me by force,

a secret tongue

nobody knew was there...

Chorus:

I speak my second language

better than my first.

"I'm fine."

"Don't worry."

"It doesn't hurt."

You'd never even notice

what I'm really saying,

because I'm fluent

in my second language.

Bridge:

The strange thing is,

it sounds just like your language.

The smile fits.

The voice fits.

The words fit.

Nobody hears the accent

hidden underneath.

When reality became so distorted

that no one could tell

a picture from a single pixel,

The pottery you created

became my second language.

You think that it's about

truth and love and personality,

but what about the story

behind every person...

Pre-Chorus:

My second language,

it came to me by force,

a secret tongue

nobody knew was there...

Chorus:

I speak my second language

better than my first.

"I'm fine."

"Don't worry."

"It doesn't hurt."

You'd never even notice

what I'm really saying,

because I'm fluent

in my second language.

Outro:

Somewhere underneath,

my first language survives...

I'd love to hear what emotions, thoughts, or interpretations come to mind when you read these lyrics.

1 Upvotes

Lantern lights, cloud-filled skies

Unsuspecting people

Trickster eyes, ego’s rise Invisible chains, we go

And they don’t know

The ruler’s a fraud, heart of snow (ah~)

Months of planning, revolution’s here

Goddess coming, the one you fear

Years of presentations, being called a doll

You can step up in the club and watch the towers fall

Kingdom coming, people running

Blood rushing through the streets

Adrenaline pumping, hearts are thumping

Violence is the key

Overthrowing everything

You’re all trapped with no escape

Welcome to my arena

Bloodiest place you’ll be the- (Arena)

Where the winner takes all

I put power on the scales

You’ll fall, I will prevail

Breaking the dam so the people can see

You’re part of the roots of a poisonous tree

Stealing your crown, watching you stare

Up in the sky, eyes frozen in fear.

I warned you the moment you took the bribe

I’d punish you; I’ll be the last thing you see before you close your eyes

I am giving the people what they want

Sit and watch in the front

Kingdom coming, people running

Blood rushing through the streets

Adrenaline pumping, hearts are thumping

Violence is the key

Overthrowing everything

You’re all trapped with no escape

Welcome to my arena

Bloodiest place you’ll be the- (Arena)

Where the winner takes all

You rule with power, I, iron fist

I took your keys and unchained the people’s wrists

You will never see light again,

Trapped in the dark 6 feet under, you won’t rise, you’ll fall apart

I am what you should fear

Your punishment slowly draws near

Remove you from your place at the top

Watch you fall from the ground at a high drop

I gave you chance after chance

You refused to listen to the public's demands

Kingdom coming, people running

Blood rushing through the streets

Adrenaline pumping, hearts are thumping

Violence is the key

Overthrowing everything

You’re all trapped with no escape

Welcome to my arena

Bloodiest place you’ll be the- (Arena)

Where the winner takes all

(arena) winner, winner

(arena) Takes, takes it all

(arena) winner, winner

(arena) Welcome to my arena

Where the winner takes all

Verse 1

It's looking kinda blue

Take my place at the desk

I don't like this

It's the only thing I want to do

Verse 2

Ripped the first, too obscure

Ripped the second, too literal

Ripped the third, too stupid, too weird

Ripped the fourth, ugh, it's way too real

Pre-chorus

Another hour, nothing there

It'll get better, they say

If I tried harder, I'd get it, for sure

Still remains bare

Chorus

In their blood

But then, why not mine?

They put in the work,

So did I...

Verse 3

It's looking kinda blue

Tried a thing or two

Once more, I'll open up the door

With any luck, it won't be the same as before

(fade out)

Bridge

Eyes ahead, it's up and coming

I guess something's better than nothing

I...

Look back, stop tracks

Watch the mirror warp facts

Diamonds turn lead

Watch the unravelling thread

Maybe my light just goes a different way

Maybe this just isn't meant to be

Final chorus

They put in the work

And so did I

In their blood

But then, why not mine?

This one joins the rest

Number 5, same as everything else

I did what they did

Or at least I tried

I would love some feedback and criticism on how to improve this. 🙏 It's in the genre of indie rock, Dm and maybe a tempo of 150 BPM.

Lyrics Writing a Song for my Husband For Christmas; Never Written a Song Before

1 Upvotes

These are the lyrics to a narrative-style song about returning to my childhood home on an abandoned US military base in Germany. All the details are completely true.

Growing up, the base was dominated by a massive, never-used hospital that I loved exploring as a kid. That really shaped who I became and sparked a lifelong fascination with abandoned, decaying places.

Today, my husband and I love going on urban exploration adventures together. I still get anxious about trespassing, but he’s fearless and completely gung-ho—which is one of the things I appreciate most about him.

Let me know what you think of the pacing and story flow:

Verse 1

You breezed past the stop sign,

You squeezed through the gate,

Met a hushed Kaserne

Resigned to its fate.

Protocol rooted me,

Stranded outside,

But you coaxed me in

With your civilian stride,

To the twilit beyond,

Where the lost years abide.

Verse 2

The mothballed wards

Where the iron lung slept,

Empty corridors where

I shivered and crept.

Drawn by a strange,

Unspoken taboo,

Harboring thrills

No one else ever knew:

You would have loved it,

And I’d have loved you.

Pre-Chorus

I crave the forsaken, then second-guess,

You counter my caution with an effortless yes.

Chorus

You cruise past the rules,

Then you charm if you're caught,

You pick the locks;

I delight in the rot.

Verse 3

Weeds cracked the asphalt,

Spirea splayed wild,

Ivy choked stucco,

Martial order exiled.

There waited the house

Of the girl I had been:

You talked a deadbolt

Right open, and then

You found me a way

To go home once again.

Pre-Chorus

I crave the forsaken, then second-guess,

You counter my caution with an effortless yes.

Chorus

You cruise past the rules,

Then you charm if you're caught,

You pick the locks;

I delight in the rot.

Bridge

Belladonna at midnight,

Crumbling crypts at dawn,

Cyrillic on a bunker wall,

You waving me on.

Chorus

You cruise past the rules,

Then you charm if you're caught,

You pick the locks;

I delight in the rot.

Outro

Gravel grinding in the dark.

“Reverse! REVERSE!”

You shifted to park.

You pick the locks;

I delight in the rot.

Lyrics I was listening to The Desperate Are The Calm from Everchanger (Invent, Animate’s debut) and I thought of a new lyric for the song. It goes…

2 Upvotes

ALL OF THE LOVE THAT YOU NEVER FELT

JUST HOLD ON AND TIME WILL GIFT YOU WELL

I would fit it into the last part of the song, like this:

Adrift a vessel into the never
Undisputed just like the violent weather
Violent weather

Inhale, breathe it in
Reveal, reveal

Assembled by hands with a vision to find reason without religion
Have you ever thought that the world could be wrong?
The most intelligent minds never sit on the throne

Crooked motion has swayed us back
We will turn around the acceptance that we lack

Fall deeper with me
The further we fall the more beauty we'll see (Reveal)
Fall deeper with me
The further we fall the more beauty we'll see (Reveal)
The modern unveiling is here (Reveal)
The modern unveiling is here
(Inhale now)

Inhale now, breathe it in
Inhale now, breathe it in
The unveiling is here

It's time to retrace our steps and walk a new direction
I'm sick of losing ground and absence of progression
I'm sick of passed down beliefs, every generation

Uncage the free mind
ALL OF THE LOVE THAT YOU NEVER FELT
Unshackle the free hands
JUST HOLD ON AND TIME WILL GIFT YOU WELL
This vessel leads us to the promised land

The unveiling is here
Inhale now, breathe it in
Inhale now, breathe it in

Fall deeper with me
ALL OF THE LOVE
The further we fall
THAT YOU NEVER FELT
the more beauty we'll see
Fall deeper with me
JUST HOLD ON AND
The further we fall
TIME WILL TREAT…YOU…
the more beauty we'll
see
WELL! (scream fades out until the end of the song)

Lyrics Bipolar Solace

A whirlwind would be an understatement 

Phone was past silent 

Soul on dnd too 

Got burned by the ugly truth 

Last week folks was lucky 

Spirit felt pretty 

All of it went out the window 

Same road same deranged soul 

My eyes like Jam 

I don’t need anyone else to understand 

Told God to give those future blessings to someone else 

May not seem like it but I appreciate the help 

Even when  them sadistic dragons was having they way with my heart 

All them times I dealt with an self inflicted broken heart 

Yet you was there 

I know my standoffish aura would say I don’t care 

But I’m sure you know 

To peeps i hope all y’all know 

The way you kept me going especially you Tara 

I couldn’t do this without you Mara 

Emily Gold you’ll always mean the world to me 

Just know I’m proud of you Yocheved Goaurie 

You will always be in my heart Moonie 

I was blessed to have you as a friend Anni 

Plus you Danielle 

The way you maneuvered through hell still amazes me

Anna I miss our emoji games 

Forgive me mama if I don’t ever fully change 

Just know I love you 

Charles I’ll sell my soul just to see you 

All them dreams you showed up while you was on the other side 

Best friends for life 

To life thanks for all the memories 

People dying on a daily 

In case my number is being called 

Just had to thank you all

Discussion My first Metal song i wrote

2 Upvotes

the concept of this song is the 3 little pigs and the big bag wolf, my ex is the wolf, im the pig, and the house represents my heart and the wolfs blow represents her dangers. let me know what you think!!
also this is copied and pasted from my notes cause it doesnt fit into a screenshot 😅

Song name: House of Resurrection

(yelling) a whole year was just blown away
♫
i dont know how you can feed off of despair
i dont know how you can be so unfair
i dont know how you can feed off of my fear
this is so unfair
♫
this is so unfair
♫
i wont be taken in vain
this is not what i deserve
youre a wolf in a sheeps clothing
dressed as a christian you have failed your faith
youve sinned against what is respectful to me
♫
little pig, little pig (whisper but progressive volume)
little pig, little pig
little pig, little pig
let me in
the big bad wolf blew away my heart
in a big blow of apathy
nothing but dust that stands
remnants of memories
i cant stand feeling like i deserve
better than what ive endured
i wont forgive you for this
♫
i wont forgive you
for what youve done to me
oh please, let me breathe
you never let me
♫
you never let me breathe
♫
tears streaming down my face
you are so heartless
why did you toy with me
i am not your play thing
♫
so i do what i can to get this bitch away
but relent, she is now a castaway
i cant get away
inhumane? this is insanity
if she cared, why did she do this to me?
this doesnt make sense to me
this doesnt make sense to me
now i must reject the insolent queen
she no longer can keep a control of me
leaning on others, i cant keep away, but why? i cant say, it is not judgement day
hold my hands, i will pray
to that bitch she will see the day
i will have the last laugh
you just stay away
you will feel a great blow
a blow of something great
i will finally be free
i will resurrect
i will resurrect
i will resurrect
i will resurrect
♫ (more exciting metal, triumphant drums, to show hope)

Lyrics Blue Autumn Sky

4 Upvotes

​

Verse 1

You were the lantern on my porch,

Flickering low in the tired wind.

I was the boots by your doorway—

Dragging home what the night blew in.

And the fields were hushed with frost again,

Like they knew how far we’d fall.

I kept hearing your name in the cottonwoods,

But maybe it wasn’t you at all.

Chorus

Under that blue autumn sky,

Where the daylight feels borrowed,

Where the trees let go easy

Of everything they can’t hold.

You were a small, quiet truth

In a world built on sorrow—

And I was learning to love you

But only on tiptoe.

Verse 2

You were a map drawn in pencil,

Edges smudged by your trembling hands.

I was the miles of backroads

You wished you could finally understand.

And your voice had that evening-tide ache,

Like a train that might not return.

Still I carried your stories in pocket seams—

Little scraps of what still burned.

Chorus

Under that blue autumn sky,

Where the daylight feels borrowed,

Where the trees let go easy

Of everything they can’t hold.

You were a small, quiet truth

In a world built on sorrow—

And I was learning to love you

But only on tiptoe.

Bridge

Oh, the moon hung low like a silver doubt,

And I think we both felt it sway.

You said, “Some things aren’t meant to stay the whole winter,”

And I didn’t know what to say.

But your shadow leaned warm on my shoulder,

For just a breath’s worth of a lifetime—

Before the wind carried the rest away.

Final Chorus

Under that blue autumn sky,

Where we whispered our maybes,

Where your heart beat uneven

Like a bird in a late-season storm.

You were a prayer I kept losing,

Still I held you so bravely—

In the blue autumn sky

Where our leaving was born.

Outro

And the dusk took your footsteps

As softly as mine—

Just two ghosts in the wheatgrass

Beneath a blue autumn sky.

Tips how to analysis lyrics?

3 Upvotes

im really into writing lyrics these days but i cant think of anything. All of the recommaditions has this sentence "analysis your fav artists lyrics" and of course i have fav artists and i look at their songs. I really like the Jennie's fallen angel, heaven and starlight lyrics.

I also have a few lyrics that when i see them im like "i wanna write like this"

For an example: (I know these lyrics dont have rhyme, but before trying to rhyme -bcs i feel like its kind of the next level- i wanna write some meaningful things. These ones doesnt have rhyme bcs they are the songs from my native language, i translate them directly to english.)

"Theres a lot to gossip about, but none of it is worth anything. Is dreaming of tomorrow today enough for tomorrow?"

"I hold someone, it takes me back to something deep within, my darling. Why get mad at each other when spring is fading away? When you collect good memories, it'll bring you back to life when you think you're dead. If you love, you'll be loved. And hate only grows as long as you feed it."

"I don't have to be ashamed of who I am just because I'm ashamed of how I look. The things I'm ashamed of are what keep me human. I should be disgusted by my own heart (meaning is like my heart is judgmental, if I have to be disgusted by something, it shouldn't be me, but my heart.). I deserve this loneliness (bcs of my heart is bad). Even if I had a second chance, I wouldn't want to be among you. I wouldn't want a Gordian knot inside my mind."

Okay, i have my fav lyrics, i know i wanna write lyrics like this. Is this what "analysis your fav lyrics" mean?

Sorry if translated lyrics are confusing, theres no community to share this for me in my native language.

Feedback Request Give Me Peace

1 Upvotes

I wake to see a figure, his face I can’t make out,

He’s only here to hurt me, by his hands or mine, no doubt.

I don’t need eyes to see him, I feel him everywhere,

His whispers flood my mind again, and drag me into despair.

He sits upon my shoulder, he follows when I breathe,

He tears apart my silence, he never lets me sleep.

I beg him for forgiveness, I beg him for release,

He’ll never grant me silence, he’ll never give me peace.

When did I start to lose it, when did he take control?

When fear became my language, and he rewrote my soul.

He watches as I tremble, he laughs when I resist,

The line between our voices is swallowed in the mist.

He sits upon my shoulder, he follows when I breathe,

He tears apart my silence, he never lets me sleep.

I beg him for forgiveness, I beg him for release,

He’ll never grant me silence, he’ll never give me peace.

He whispers that I’m fading, he tells me I’m not real,

He says I’m just the echo of the wounds he makes me feel.

And though I try to fight him, I see through hollow eyes,

I’ve worn his face so long now, I don’t know which is mine.

He’s sitting on my shoulder…

He’s sitting in my mind…

He’ll never give me silence…

He’s all I’ll leave behind.

Here's my shot
My arrow
Has been caught
Like a dagger
Right into your heart
I'm forever bound
Red stringed
Leads straight to you

A mime I will be
A gumshoe,
Is how I will see
I will solve this riddle
The day you became
The mystery of
You and me

Words thrown
Like shotgun blasts
Your mind can't ricochet
Thoughts and feelings
Mimicked and reflected
Back to your heart
From the first time
I saw you standing there

A mime I can be
A gumshoe,
Is how I will see
I will solve this riddle
The day you became
The mystery of
You and me

Journalistic intent
Research topic
The 5 Ws
You keep asking me
Hook me up to a polygraph
Get the answers
To your ever-ending
Probing questions

(please stop suggesting my shit to other groups cus i read whats allowed & u say i can post original lyrics but that other group keeps referring me to another & i cant seem to post anywhere. leave it alone.)

Growing up we was brothas
Playin in the cul-de-sac 
Shootin basketball with the other friends of us
I remember Isaiah, always thought he looked just like ya man
Back in the day, Ray was my only father, Zack
I loved to go play, talkin bout Ray & Mary's house
Yall would never shout, it was peaceful when I came around
I was only 3 though, I still love ya mother like my own
She's a funny motherfucka, I see where you got your humor from…. Yeah
I hope she's doing better
And i wish they never split up
Im so sorry about your uncle just know Heaven gained a good one
Recruiting the strongest soldiers
Now he's balling in a younger form
Because of him…
It made the family bond closer
The smile of your grandma made a child's heart grow warmer
Rest in peace to both of them
One day you will see again
Sittin on your shoulders giving guidance when you needed them
I love you friends
Yall my fam
And though im far away, yall still in my plans
We gonna make a band together anyway we can
Through the sweat, blood, and tears, man thats the new chant
And to Charlie, Ash..
Yall grew up so fast
Charlie was a baby I remember the 1st time we met
And Ashton, more like, trash can! (ha)
What a corny fuckin rhyme like ya bad dad jokes
I miss the disappointment everytime you said somethin
It was so fuckin funny i just sighed and said nothin
Except maybe m-mumblin, laughin under breath
Then your dad joined in and we followed pun trends
We went on for 30 minutes, maybe 45 max
It's the most fun I've had a long time after that
Time passed… (time passed)

Sunrise in sunrise, cool 75
I’m doin’ 75 on i-75
Sawgrass in sawgrass
We’re passing palm
Roadblock, blame fallen palm fronds
 
Panthers win
Stanley’s in the ocean
He’s covered in salt and sand from the commotion
No wake, limit motion
Spring break brings waves of emotion
 
Chorus:
You can leave the swamp, but the swamp will never leave you
Tried to blame the swamp, but the swamp didn’t blame you
Don’t believe the swamp, but the swamp does believe in
You can leave the swamp, but you can never leave you
 
‘Aurora Awakes’ halfway through my drive
She’s pounding through the bass and blinding my sight
Through the rays, I can see the sky
And the light
And the time
Flash by right before my eyes
 
Don’t break, you’ll ruin the moment
It’s spring break and you’re pulling the focus
Say ‘Life’s great, I’m not sick from the motion’
Forget to mention that you’re scared of the ocean

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Don’t lose sight of what’s ahead, put one foot in front of the other
You’ll walk until you drop dead, and somehow blame it on the others
Nothing here will change your fears, you’ve got to get out of your head
Why not go outside and be yourself, again?

(Chorus)
 
You can leave the swamp, but the swamp will never leave you
Tried to change the swamp, but the swamp didn’t change you
Don’t believe the swamp, but the swamp doesn’t need you too
You can leave the swamp, but you can never leave you
Yes, you can leave the swamp, but you can never leave you

Took 100 milligrams to numb the edge

But nothing in this world

Could ever make me forget

Watched you walk away with your things (Just had to rub it in my face)

Just sat there without listening

The walls are starting to close in

And my throat's started closing

LAY MY HEAD TO REST

BUT I CAN'T CLOSE MY EYES

THE ROOM IS SLIPPING

IS THIS HELL OR AM. I. FINE

Can't get the taste off of my tongue

Wondering what else I could have done. (Are you happier with him?)

Falling in reverse

Wish you could pull me back to Earth

Shadows of when you were in my room

Destroying my clothes cause they still smell like you.

LAY MY HEAD TO REST

BUT I CAN'T CLOSE MY EYES

THE ROOM IS SLIPPING

IS THIS HELL OR AM. I. ALIVE

Vision slowly fading turning black

Swallowing more, keep choking it back

I hear your voicemail click in the haze {Leave your message at the beep}

Sirens blaring a voice calls my name

Memories of you dance in my head

Please don't just leave me for dead

LAY MY HEAD TO REST

BUT I CAN'T CLOSE MY EYES

THE ROOM IS SLIPPING

IS THIS HELL OR CAN. I SURVIVE

Follow the light
A golden calf Illuminates
this place shimmers in Gold
So scared hesitate
Atomic Energy

I’ll follow you, if you follow me
I’ll bleed for you, if you bleed for me
Testify Testify Testify
Who can cover me, in purity?
I’m unHoly

Blinding Energy
glow up the dark
weigh out my heart
Seek and destroy
I’m the enemy
Will you always love me, eternally?
And I hope you never
have to walk a
lonely path.

I’ll follow you, if you follow me
I’ll bleed for you, if you bleed for me
Testify Testify Testify
Who can cover me, in purity?
We are unHoly

Corruption eruption
a disruption in my destiny
Hearts in a jar
Set aside my idols and sacrifices
Put away vices
Walk away from devices.

Tho my path is uncertain
From above you tore the curtain
skewed the proper blood
Warned for years
Not expecting a flood

The laws have been written
The serpent has bitten
A Season permitted
Winter calls
But I’ve forgotten home

I can still hear angels sing
A Distant melody
Are they winged
Are they the enemy

SCREAMING FROM WITHIN (LOUDER) SCREAMING FROM WITHIN (HARDER) SCREAMING FROM WITHIN (FASTER)

I got another two and I'm working on a fourth one. Lemme know if you want me to post the other two and also I would really appreciate some feedback. Long live Chester)

Feedback Request Hi everyone! 👋 I'd love some feedback on a new song I've been working on called "Glided Walls"

Glided Walls

Verse 1:

I remember when I young

and everything was so damn clear,

Life itself was a paradise,

that I experimented with...

Time went on and on,

and every time I did something wrong,

I wished I could have hid it,

so I did, in my heart, in my head, in my soul...

I built my own prison.

Pre-Chorus:

And every time I try something new,

You act like I have sinned.

So I decided to protect myself

And build a wall of boundaries.

Chorus:

But it seems like my boundaries went to far,

it feels like I'm a wolf in sheep clothing,

deceiving everyone, and sometimes myself,

my soul feeling entrapped by my own design,

I made it just me myself and I...

I created my own, gilded walls.

Verse 2:

Every moment now, I regret my decisions.

Wishing I hadn't hidden myself.

People live my dreams and I love them...

But deep down inside, I feel like they're living my life.

It's funny because as time went on and on,

it just became me, myself and I even more...

People love me, yes. But they don't see the diamond inside,

inside that's covered by dirt, yes.

But something amazing still survives...

Pre-Chorus:

And every time I try something new,

You act like I have sinned.

So I decided to protect myself

And build a wall of boundaries.

Chorus:

But it seems like my boundaries went to far,

it feels like I'm a wolf in sheep clothing,

deceiving everyone, and sometimes myself,

my soul feeling entrapped by my own design,

I made it just me myself and I...

I created my own, gilded walls.

Bridge:

I am loved, yes.

I am good, yes.

I am kind, yes.

But it's nothing how I wanted to be...

I want the world to see me for me

not as a sheep but as the wolf howling in me...

Pre-Chorus:

And every time I'd try something new,

I sinned against everything I was taught

So I decided to protect myself

And build the highest wall of boundaries.

Chorus:

But it seems like my boundaries went to far,

it feels like I'm a wolf in sheep clothing,

deceiving everyone, and sometimes myself,

my soul feeling entrapped by my own design,

I made it just me myself and I...

I created my own, gilded walls.

Outro:

It's funny how I thought I was benefiting me,

and protecting myself for the harsh world...

But actually I created my own gilded walls.

I'd love to hear what emotions, thoughts, or interpretations come to mind when you read these lyrics.

Lyrics Regressive Reruns

3 Upvotes

Was peaceful two weeks ago 

Now back to torpedoes in my soul 

No matter the calmness it’s a ugly volcano 

Back to dealing with bi polar missiles 

Had so much hope it could heal infinity 

It’s ugly but my mood disorder is staying with me 

Been talking to god on a daily 

Messages from the committee told me he heard me 

For those days I felt hella lucky 

Barely felt misery 

Motivation to change I could sense it was working 

Old ways back bubbling with destructing habits reforming 

Slave to the type of thoughts that would mess up any good that’s on its way 

Hoping I don’t start talking again to the grave 

Even thought about gambling 

For some reason I was rejecting 

Addiction far from what I’m worried about 

More concerned for them devils in me lashing out 

With medication or not, this shadow ain’t ending 

Sometimes I ask myself if I’m just pretending 

And all the evil that’s in me is just my true reality 

Guess it’s so a man thinketh so is he 

Actions tells me something opposite 

Dealing with all this I usually want to forfeit 

Reving up that suicidal engine again too tiring 

Should’ve prayed for rewiring 

Just when I thought I was making Mara happy 

No matter what doubts will follow me 

Believed ataraxia was on its way 

If Charles was here I wonder what he would say? 

Best friends for eternity I know no matter what they got me 

Rather not let down Moonie 

Still doing this for my peeps

Lyrics Rewind

1 Upvotes

i can see life flash before my eyes
darling, can you see it too?
the end of our glory days, rushing through our youth
I don’t see a point of getting through

I dreampt of a new life then I woke up with a sober mind
I’m not used to spending most nights with someone like you
(you made me feel alive)
spending less days inside

“you can’t change my mind”
thats what you said the first time
“I want you for all time unless I step out of line”

I can see life flash before my eyes
darling can you see it too?
the end of our glory days rushing through our youth
I don’t see a point of getting through

Lyrics Politically Nondescript

3 Upvotes

[VERSE 1]

HBO gave me a talk show

It's politically nondescript

The tagline of the show is "Oh, I don't know."

Execs were expecting a hit

.

[VERSE 2]

A panel of guests of this country's best

At overthinking issues

Each takes both sides and won't give it a rest

Till we're tired and sigh, "yeah, we're through"

.

[PRE-CHORUS]

"If you don't buy American you're a traitor."

"The state owns your soul and labor."

.

[CHORUS]

Totally over this shit

Making our peace with it

Politically nondescript

Tonight

Airing at midnight

It's Politically Nondescript

.

[VERSE 3]

The house band is Randy Newman

Him on piano, no one backs him

The producer is barely clued in

The sidekick trips out on acid

.

[VERSE 4]

Ratings are trash so don't even ask

We run twelve to one, no ad breaks

Some Arab prince grants us finance

Praise Allah for our Qatari sheikh

.

[PRE-CHORUS]

"The world isn't ending but we won't be alright."

"A world war is pending but there won't be a fight."

.

[CHORUS]

Totally over this shit

Making our peace with it

Politically nondescript

Tonight

Airing at midnight

It's Politically Nondescript

.

[BRIDGE]

Our opinions are shit, but at least we know it

And hey, that's pretty cool

Buckle in for the show, it will make you reflect

On how you're a total fool

.

[CHORUS]

Totally over this shit

Making our peace with it

Politically nondescript

Tonight

Airing at midnight

It's Politically Nondescript

.

[OUTRO]

Smash the state

Our leader is great

Eat the rich

Till it's me, then switch

Tonight, at midnight

Politically Nondescript

Discussion The Use Of Ai

12 Upvotes

I’m I the only one who finds it genuinely so annoying/frustrating when you ask people for feedback on song-writing and instead of giving you feedback they just put it through AI and give it to you. It just makes me so angry that I spent all that time making sure my song makes sense etc, only for someone to put it through AI. Espically as someone who is trying to become a singer, and to turn those lyrics into actual songs.

Feedback Request Spoken Word vs Lyrics

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide it this is best fit to be spoken word, lyrics, or something more suited for the page(traditional poetry). Who’s is what I have so far, let me know what you think in general though!

A cat has nine lives
so you have to kill a cat nine times
Nine times before it flatlines
but don’t just take me, take my mind
I have high mental appetite
Show me you’re one of a kind
What do you think of the afterlife?
I’m curious more than I can quantify
Can you send me there nine times?
Most lovers leave me Insatiate
Need something to Ingratiate me
need something to captivate me
Something potent to fulfill my dream
Pull out your Glock 9
Send me to the afterlife
Fill me with your Luger loads
I’ll scream and moan every time you reload
but I never oppose
Do it nine times
Do it until I’m high
Do it until I cry
Aim right for the skull and open my mind
Can death restore what has been broken?
Can death transform the unspoken?
Aim for my left eye then aim for my right
Leave me blind, so I leave the senses of this realm behind
What will I find without using my sight?
Next time you pull the trigger open my throat
Will I find the words I wish I would’ve spoke
Or will my greatest desires forever go untold?
aim between my supple breasts
can your load force me to confess?
And take a heavy load off my chest
Take a shot at my love spot
Will this fill me with pleasures I’ve long forgot?
It’ll free me desires that still haunt
Flip me over and open fire on my spine
Leave my body as paralyzed as time
Maybe then there’d be nothing for me to hide
Take a shot at my feet and put me on my knees
Do it nine times
Grant me pure ecstasy
Awaken all my senses, awaken my mind
Make me beg, make me plead
Do it nine times
la petite Mort
