gleamingalloyaircar81 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 This is MoonLight's newest song. It is an epic clocking in at 28:09. I wrote the lyrics about my struggles with being picked on and beaten up everyday at school and how I was cutting myself and how I almost resorted to suicide. The song has 7 parts to it played out over 4 videos. The 2 final parts of the song are about me FINALLY moving away from that hell and having a normal happy life at my new home. Please enjoy The Long And Winding Road! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j5O1FqsUhs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1D5vIjmLf0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z70B_dSfCp8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63CZg_obFu8 Part I: Final Plan The teenage life is stressful enough Without the worries of conformity The fact that kids get teased Shows everything wrong with society It seems like they always pick on The little fish in the big pond Your tennage mind wanders off to the thoughts of obtaining guns Remember that when it does You are noones hero The thoughts you have are normal But the act itself is not You are caught up in the fable That its a noble path you sought Though you have no friends at all Just please remember one thing You're really not alone at all No matter what you think You've often tried to end it But you never committed the sin When you're about to do it Just think about your kin Heed the advice of Rush And heed STYX too For they have saved my life And they can save yours too They have reminded me Of what I have to do And that theroad up ahead can only get easier If I just believe its true Part II: Second Thoughts When you tried to end it You had second thoughts You didn't know if you wanted To do it or not You thought about your family And the one you love at school If she found out what you're doing She wouldn't think you're cool So then you thought about it And realized there was no point You dont have to do it There is another choice What would your grandpa say If he saw you with that gun He'd probably say son put down that gun Before you hurt the ones you love Part III: Battle Scars When they pick on you It makes you feel so useless You don't know what to do You want to hurt them too But you need to take the high road And keep your head held high Becasue someday baby You're going to leave this place sop far behind You've got to get out of this place Here you've taken shots to the face When you've got your back turned They trow things at you It's all your dads fault That this happens to you But you can't blame him For doing your family good He wanted to give your family a better life Like he rightfully should Part IV: Realization Look what they've done to you They tore your mind apart They stomped on your loving heart You can see it now How cruel the world is There's no escaping it Its binds are tight But hold your head high And you will be fine It feels like the world is against you And everyone hates you You feel like you have nothing to live for Please dont slam the door Because its not over yet You have to try your best Don't let them get in your head Or bad things will happen to you Part V: The Long And Winding Road The long and winding road Is a very hard road to take Its not for the weak of heart Or a wounded soul I have traveled the road that you don't want to take It kills your soul It tears you apart It stomps on your sensitive loving heart But I know I never had a chance I didn't conform I never will I'm tired of taking all these pills Because of what society has done to me I've cut myself open to bleed To deal with my misery It hasn't helped me Its just hurt the ones I love And that hurts so much more Now that I've turned my back and slammed the door I have closed it on me And everyone else I love All because I let society get to me You can't let them ruin your life It's too precious to throw away They aren't worth it There is another way You have to love yourself To see the love others have for you And their love is true They really do love you Part VI: The Great Escape You've been hoping and praying for this day And now its finally come You've been paitent for so long To drive into the sun You finally sold your house You're moving so far away You're headed to a place now Where a good future lays Now that you've got here You're so relieved You got the answer And your mind isn't weak Your past demons have helped you grow Into the fine young man Your parents bestow Your dad is so proud Of the man you've become He says he couldn't have raised a better son School is so fun now That you have friends They actually like you They don't just pretend They care about you They're the worlds greatest friends You can see that people love you now Because you love yourself Sustain yourself Love yourself So sustain yourself So don't ever give up On the road called life There's always a way out Thats not through a knife You might be living in a total hell But one day baby you'll get out of the cell Just be yourself Thats all you can do And people someday will appreciate you Part VII: New Beginnings (Instrumental) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRocinanteKid Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Nice one. Certainly my favourite song by you two so far... I think some more instruments... bass and drums... maybe synth would benefit it greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Death Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm sorry, but the lyrics really could use some working on... other than that it's pretty good, you guys have potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose/the/light Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 gaac, i just read the lyrics really quick, and they're really good, i can tell they come straight from the bottom of your heart and they are important to you, good job, one suggestion, is that for a song, it sounds almost too much like you are just telling a personal story. Good job though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job though! I am telling a personal story. Back before MoonLight knew each other I was going through a cutting relapse in late December and early January. So I made this song to help me out. It was going to be private but then me and Echoes met and became MoonLight. I thought that it would be great to get this put there so I gave the lyrics to him. This song was originally meant to only be seen by me, so thats probably why it seems like Im telling a personal story. In reality I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
