Hell yeah! Sounds like a variation on "T-Bone" by Neil Young. I Quote: I got mashed potatoes, Ain't got no T-Bone. Repeat...ad infinitum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushGuru Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 "Make a wish upon a scar..." Backseat Heartbreaks Tossed under the seat of your car. And elegance is only skin deep, Falling asleep, I'm counting sheepish conversations And you're tending to speak Out of turn... And, "I'm an arsonist Collecting hearts and houses to burn." Is that so? Tell me, when will you learn... Baby, boys will be boys, Misguided and coy, Trying our eyes out Not to annoy you to death. But still, I find myself holding my breath When I see you. Wondering if there's anything left... And you smile at me Like you used to When I loved you... But it's my fault you're a vault. "And I buried the key..." Rest in Peace, But at least There are some holes in the wall... And through those I can see you everytime that you fall For someone else... And they'll hold you Like I used to... Just butterfly lust in the form of "I trust you." And they'll Rush you And crush you every time. And you cry Like you used to When I hurt you... Make a wish upon a scar... Backseat Brokenhearts Littering the floor of your car. "I can still see mine..." And how I wish I could fix it. But we were allways Too full of ourselves To swallow our pride. And nothings changed now... So I peer down at you From the holes in my wall, And you smile up at me Just like you used to When I loved you...

condemned2bfree Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 These are not my lyrics I wish they were Don't speak of safe messiahs, A failure of the modern man, To the centre of all life's desires, As a whole not an also ran. Love in a hollow field, Break the image of your father's son, Drawn to an inner feel, He was thought of as the only one, He was thought of as the only one. He no longer denies, All the failures of the modern man. No, no, no, he can't pick sides, Sees the failures of the modern man. Wise words and sympathy, Tell the story of our history. New strength gives a real touch, Sense and reason make it all too much. With a strange fatality, Broke the spirits of a lesser man, Some other race can see, In his way he was the only one, In his way he was the only one. He no longer denies, All the failures of the modern man. No, no, no, he can't pick sides, Sees the failures of the modern man. Now that it's time to decide, In his time he was a total man, Taken from caesar's side, Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong. He no longer denies, All the failures of the modern man. No, no, no, he can't pick sides, Sees the failures of the modern man, All the failures of the modern man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortkort Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I working on a song about the simpsons character Radioactive Man, I'm not sure if I'm done yet. but it is at least 90% finished. hope you'll like it Radioactive Man Radioactive man! fought on a battle plan! Saved a boy, from being destroyed, soon to be the Fallout Boy. Surrounded by the scoutmaster scouts, but they got knocked out. They had no other chance so they started to dance. Ref: Radioactive man! He is radioactive! Radioactive man! For the ladies, he is very attractive! Radioactive man! He is very proactive! His powers are unknown they have never been shown, but he is bulletproof but the bullets still hurts, listen to him burp. He fires nuclear heat from his eyes, go fry up some meat, and I will come and eat, and if you ask, I'll bring a treat. Ref: Radioactive man! He is radioactive! Radioactive man! He is never inactive! Radioactive man! Watch out, thats a kraut! Do a crime and you will fail, he'll chime in and send you to jail. He is never ever wrong, except that one time he sang a satanic song. Once played by Wolfcastle, but the movie was just a hassle. The googles do nothing he would yell, but then again, he had a small brain. Ref: Radioactive man! He is radioactive! Radioactive man! For the ladies, he is not unattractive! Radioactive man!

Turn Me On Dead Man Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) My guitar is long , My hair is tuned, I have no place to stay, The only thing on my mind, Is the thing you'd like to know. I just came up with that and can't think of anything else. Edited August 12, 2007 by Turn Me On Dead Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewb93 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Wow ... these lyrics are great! How did you guys do it? Seriously, I've been trying to write good song lyrics forever, and I can never come up with anything. Is it a natural talent, or can I 'learn' how to do it?

Slaine mac Roth Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Here's one we used to play in my old band: Perilous Land Where dryads dance in misty woods Bright eyes stare from beneath a hood Hold onto fantasy, reject the truth You find reflections in the bane of youth They're out to take all you can give To steal your soul but let you live Where bugbears dance upon the graves The resting places of their sleves Beware the goblin king's evil eye As they hunt beneath the sky They're out to take all you can give To steal your soul but let you live The changeling lies within the home You've lost the child you've always known The glamour fails, the shock is sharp You hear the faerie on the harp They're out to take all you can give To steal your soul but let you live The place you go to when you dream The nightmare land where children scream The daemons crawling into sight Beneath the covers you pray for light They're out to take all you can give To steal your soul but let you live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I've been trying to write good song lyrics forever, and I can never come up with anything. Is it a natural talent, or can I 'learn' how to do it? It can be learned. Try making lyrics to a song you already know. Like make lyrics to Marathon. See how it sounds in your mind after. Go from there. Keep trying until you get a muse to get you going.....

Fridge Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I actually posted some lyrics some time ago in a poetry thread, but this place is perhaps more appropriate as they were always lyrics to music I had written and not poems: I'll start with this one BELLEVUE As I watch the pale shadows Cast down over your face Darkness holds me dearly While conscious I remain Of the cold comfort of you... You could have walked with me forever On a road not hard to find But choosing "Now or never" Has left you deaf and blind And tommorrow holds no light.... And while in darkness I hold you in my hand Whisper words of distortion Direct from child to man And though I listen hard Im back where I began Lost...lonely..afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewb93 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Ok, I decided to try. I posted this in the Poetry Thread, and I just remembered this thread, so I figured it would be better to go here. Anyway, here it is. It's only one stanza (not even!) but I think it's alright ... Depression sets in To the unwanted man. He is still loveless Due to "true love" again The pain has been felt Rejection's been dealt __________________ <-- Need help! It's kinda like a combination of The Pass and Coldfire, I guess. I take a lot of influence from Neil, of course. That last line, I haven't got anything for that. If anyone's got something for me, I'll gladly accept it. Also, any constructive criticism would be cool, too. I'm working for the rest of song, and hoping it'll turn out decent. Any advice, help, suggestions, etc is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionic11 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Not that anyone's ever going to really read these lyrics I put to song with an acoustic guitar, but here goes: SLEEP Main riff: double (4th) stopped EE F#F# AF# B....B B....AA BB AA B....B..B B Verse chords: Bm G D A Chorus chords: 2 x (Bm G F#7 add 4 (think Hemispheres)) Em A... Interlude: D Em D/F# G... D D/F# Em G... (D Am7 sus2 D Em9) x 2 VERSE No matter how hard I try to be myself Some part of you Ends up becoming me I just wanted to thank you For being there, for being my friend I know sometimes I'm hard to understand But's is so easy To be negative To put up a shell Yeah, to put up that wall But I don't want to take you For granted Cuz you know all I want Is the best for you CHORUS1 No, it's not as hard as it seems I deal with it in my dreams It's not as hard as it seems We're here together for awhile And then we sleep.... VERSE And since our paths still cross I guess, you'll be around Just hit me when I hide If that's what it takes to bring me out And as the hours go by I hope, it's a quality, that you taste When you relish the memories Of us, killing time... CHORUS2 No, it's not as hard as it seems We deal with it in our dreams It's not as hard as it seems... Interlude (vocals second time) Cuz all we have is NOW A few trips around the Sun And then... Our time... is done CHORUS3 No, it's not as hard as it seems To deal with it all in dreams It's not as hard as it seems We're here together for awhile And then we sleep....

psionic11 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hmm, seem to have lost the last post... anyways... Sifting thru my old email boxes, I ran across these. A poem-response to me from this girl I was seeing. so you tell me over and over how you just dont need me so now im gone and you just need to move on how could you do this to me i am done questioning you for your time cause this time i know its for real im ready to leave you be you meant the world to me but now i know your just playing with me and im moving on im sorry its over so just let me go you had your chance now youve lost all of me im so sorry isnt going to get me im sorry its over out of all the things you could do breaking my heart was the last straw and now im losing something i once adored but what am i to feel you play me so easily after all this time im ready to find me maybe oneday youll keep still but as for now im gone and you just need to see ive made up my mind and i just want to let you go im sorry its over so just let me go you had your chance now youve lost all of me im so sorry isnt going to get me im sorry its over this time i cant cry i cant let you see how i feel no matter how many tears i cried i wanted nothing more to be there and you here for me but sometimes things just fade somehow you easily break so it hurts inside but ill be alright ill hold my pride close the door find room to breath and hopefully tell you how i feel im sorry its over so just let me go you had your chance now youve lost all of me im so sorry isnt going to get me im sorry its over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionic11 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 And then here's my poem-response to that poem. Funny thing is, I forwarded a copy to the singer-songwriter in the band I was in at the time, not too much before we finally broke up... and he replied asking QUOTE Andy, I liked your poem... I don't mean to be vein, but your poem isn't about our band and you being over me and Taylor, is it? Good piece, Adam Funny how a band can be like a relationship, and how sometimes what makes lyrics/poetry work is its ambiguous or interpretive nature... Echoes over and over of vain cries 'cross Mountainsides yet in the Valleys we wonder Explorers wander and wonder of worlds wide, yet trapped inside of the hearts we've touched from under still Eagles soar while Ants crawl and Hearts, how they're torn asunder yet Lions roar while Kittens paw and Pirates sail for treasures to plunder Out of all the things one can do Is breaking Hearts something I can afford? When what came easily has easily gone, And what once was, is nothing more? I'm sorry it's over, it once was fun I had a chance, but it never begun And tears were for, and tears were gone, But Pride and Hurt are my only sons I'm sorry it's over please let me go I had a chance but just to let you know... I've lost me AND you tho we never danced For what's it's worth, it helped us Both to grow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
