I am in the processes of completing the lyrics to a song. All verses and everything is complete, but I want the opinion of some people I know before posting it here.

I've done verse for this song but it's not overly good

Here is chorus

Use Me,
Lose Me,
Just Dont Abuse Me,
Cause Baby I'm the only one who gets you going

Lol, I like that.

I've lately been beating myself up over my lyrics being dull. I think I'm much too literal. Here's my favourite lyrics of mine though. They were changed recently to remove some references to my shift in religion, which I've since gotten past. Mostly it's a metaphor for how life will make things look like their about to get better, and then you realise nothing ever really changed. The songs is a kinda straight-forward little rocker with an upbeat tempo. And here are the lyrics:

"Sugar Pill"

I am on the edge
Of stumbling and dropping my pledge
Oh, am I doing well?
Or am I en route to Hell?

'Cause my heart's been scarred
Contentedness has fought so hard
I pondered up a Christmas card
And lost it to the thought
It seems as though depression has me bought

And I've had my fill
Of choking on your sugar pill
Oh Lord, what does it take to have your hand?
And while I'm ill
From meditating broken will
My sanity can hardly take a stand
And I'm choking on your sugar pill again

I am losing sleep
I'm kept awake by pain and grief
Oh, will I have my day?
Or is my trophy made of clay?

'Cause your placebo
Has me thinking you're my home
Yet remains terrain to roam
Till I stumble on some truth
All my hopes and dreams are all that lend to proof

And I've had my fill
Of choking on your sugar pill
Oh Honey, take this load off of my back
And while I'm ill
From meditating broken will
It seems as if my mould may never crack
And your sugar pill has gotten me off track

(Solo, repeat chorus 1)

...I never noticed how most of those stanzas had an odd number of lines until now. o0

I'm in a band that performs all original music, and I'm one of two songwriters. So far we've completed over 30 songs, but my personal favorite has been one we wrote just for fun. It's titled 'I Just Can't Sneeze (Around You'

My sinuses clear whenever you're near
I just can't sneeze around you
All the allergens fade; I've really got it made
I just can't sneeze around you

Anytime you come by
My nostrils are dry
It's the nicest thing about you
I just can't sneeze around you

If we're together all day I throw my tissues away
I just can't sneeze around you
I don't need no pills because I've got no ills!
I just can't sneeze around you

Anytime you come by
My nostrils are dry
It's the nicest thing about you
I just can't sneeze around you

But then anytime you're gone
Those pesky sniffles come along
Baby I wish that you would see
You're more than just Tylenol to me

------ Solo!! -------

Anytime you come by
My nostrils are dry
It's the nicest thing about you
I just can't sneeze, I just can't sneeze
Around you!

Beginnings for two songs:

Chromatography of Kaleidoscope Corn

The doctors, now, they once peeked in
With their machines through my head at my brain
And all they came up with,
Was an optical illusion.

Maybe, now that I think about it,
Maybe it does explain,
Why everywhere I go,
I'm always filled with confusion.

Funeral Scene

And in came the funeral man, and he asked,
"Who's the dead one in here?"
And the people, they just kept sitting there
Like they didn't even care
One couldn't tell the person that had died
Was one that they had ever met in their lives,
Much less held them dear
The funeral man got uneasy and filled with fear
As he stared at the people sitting there,
Who strongly resembled corpses themselves
Each one was as lifeless and indifferent as everybody else
Present there.

GOING HOME (ALL ALONE)

I came for a weekend
You were nowhere to be found
Where did you go?
I asked all your neighbors
Had they seen you round
They said no

It never crossed my mind
That maybe you were hiding
The phone calls never made
And the letters you weren't writing
You said you'd think it out
But you were all through deciding
I'm going home all alone

I walked into your life, girl
And turned your whole world upside down
And turned it around
I Can't say that I blame you
For stealing away when I'm in town

It never crossed my mind
That maybe you were hiding
The phone calls never made
And the letters you weren't writing
You said you'd think it out
But you were all through deciding
I'm going home all alone

I stood on the mountain
And I looked out on the town
I don't know
I guess it's time to realize
I can't be the one any more

It never crossed my mind
That maybe you were hiding
The phone calls never made
And the letters you weren't writing
You said you'd think it out
But you were all through deciding
I'm going home all alone

I wrote some lyrics recently. I just sorta kept typing on and on without giving it much thought (or maybe I gave too much thought to it 😕 ), and in the end......err.............I'm not really sure what exactly came out in the end.... 🤔

Also, I have written many poems, which I think I could use for lyrics. 😎

My first thought was "I can't write lyrics, they're always atrocious", but then I remembered something I wrote a few years back that I kind of liked.

"The Midnight Ferry"

In a green haze of transient musk,
they hailed the midnight ferry, neon dancing in dusk.

Fox-tailed endomorphs left for the sun
while in riverbeds three, the dream whittlers spun.

Never united and never alone,
these bickering spectres forever were thrown.

so I've delved into the freestylin' culture and a buddy transcribed some of my rhymes. I'm thinking of trying to get a record deal, but not sure if my rhymes seal the dealio. any praise and or praise is much appreciated. Oh yeah I call this opus "meatsock"

Get a piece a chicken only once a blue moon
Settled for your daughter damn she moaned a nice tune
It’s all cool, It’s all pink it’s all poon

Opened up her throat, filled out her anus
Mascara tears, cum, face dirty danish
Damn, fourteen never felt so good on my penis

She said she like it rough, she say she wanna hurt
Can’t hear “no,” shoving her face in the dirt
Choked the bitch out, all in a day’s work

How you feel? ploughed your fuckin daughter
How you feel? Slut skank makin father
how you feel? I fuck her better than you do?
don’t even give a fuck. why do I bother

Your baby bitch my new afternoon delight
Fuck her mouth, fuck her ass, fuck her right
Fuck her brains out in your house all night
I’m done with her and she ain’t that tight

Shit got real and I killed her on your couch
Fucked so much, fucked her brains out
Hey, how’s it goin at her mothafuckin funeral
Then dug the bitch out cuz damn I missed that mouth
Smushed her right, damn that bitch got humoral

It's quite simple, has a quieter pre chorus, loud verse and loud chorus. Repeats twice. Or do you think I should write a second verse? It does feel unfinished.

So yeah two things:

1. Be as rough as you want.

2. What artists could you imagine writing this song?

Here it is:

Symphony For a Glasshouse

Verse:
Hello Hello
Can you see me there
Can you take the time to stare
Hello Hello
What have you got there
What have they given you to kill
To tear me down and make me a landfill

Pre Chorus:
Am I a man in a glasshouse
Or a glasshouse with a man
Though fruits have perished untouched
These thoughts... there holes I can't touch
... holes I can't touch

Chorus:
Stand and stare Stand and stare
Eyes burning coal by truck fulls
Stand and stare Stand and stare
Watch the line cross it in my halls
Stand and stare Stand and stare
Eyes burning coal by truck fulls
Stand and stare Stand and stare
Watch the line cross it in my halls

Good one! I liked most of it, especially the beginning.

Hmm, I think you should write a second verse. 🤔

BIG BLACK HOLE

I'm leaning on the threshold
Of her mystery
And crashing through the walls
Of dying history

She sails along at breakneck speed
And she's losing all control
I'm grounded deep in my routine

On the edge of that big black hole in the wall
I'm knocking at the door
She picks the pieces from the floor
She dies to say no more, no more

I'm balanced on the highwire
Above her circus bed
And spinning through the staircase
Past her sleeping head

Startled, now she awakes from her visions
In rooms as dark as midnight coal
I'm placid, bound to sanity

On the edge of that big black hole in the wall
I'm knocking at the door
She picks the pieces from the floor
She dies to say no more, no more

Sometimes the things that make us different
Are the things that make us seem like we're the same
Sometimes we end up in a battle
Over who is right and which one is to blame

I'm treading lightly through
Her seas of pent up rage
Thinking the end has come
But still there's one more page

She crucifies her gentle side
Intoxicated by her role
I calmly watch my world go dry

On the edge of that big black hole in the wall
I'm knocking at the door
She picks the pieces from the floor
She dies to say no more, no more

Hmm... guess I'll dust off my ole' lyric book...

From my days as the guitarist/glockenspielist of a avant-garde/black metal band:

FOR FEAR OF THE NIGHT
A dream beyond my vision stirred me,
Wrestling me into a sea of light,
Wherein my hopes and fears did spur me,
To hide from the blackness of the night.

It crept on every corner, silent,
And watched by every cautious eye
It spared no haven, no asylum,
And spared no pity for the sky.

Stumbling upon my blistered self,
The umbral beast, to me, had spoken
And suddenly the blackness triumphed...

And I was awoken.

I like the concept, I think you could really elaborate in a funny way in the lyrics on what makes someone "dead". Of course, as Kurt Cobain famously stated, "music comes first, then the lyrics". So put something together in Garageband and show it to me 😎

Anyway, here are some famous lyrics that have been written for Charlie N. George:

Quote:

"Cubbie is my favorite dog
Yes, he is my favorite dog
He's a rapper all the time
He makes songs be sublime
Cubbie

Here's another lyric that my brother wrote in his love letter to Bernie Madoff, called "Master of Money":

Quote:

"You ain't even worth one Zimbabwe Dollar"

And another, this time from "(Ambition Makes you Look) Pretty Ugly":

Quote:

This is like prog metal,
This is like prog metal,
This is Like Prog metal,
IT STINKS!!!!

....Yeah, George and I normally completely freestyle our lyrics on all our recordings. Lyric writing is for pansies like Bono and Sting.

That "Master of Money" line sounds interesting........ 😁

I have too much music in my head, so I'm trying to get to fill the space with some lyrics..........oh, and my partner keeps insisting that I write the song first.........making this song will take a long time. 🤔

ha, I like the idea of the thread.

The opening line of your song is really cool (like Highway 61 style Bob Dylanesque maybe) I guess it all depends where it leads.

I actually have reams of lyrics but I'm probably not gonna post them because

A) 86% of them are godawful

B) the 14% that's "good" I guess I'd rather keep it...secret

okay well here's an example of type a (the awful lyrics) written 6 years ago now, an excerpt from the long forgotten Translucent

Translucent wrote:

When I tried to see Today
I couldn’t focus anyway
I tried to change the way I saw
But I just walked into a wall

Thanks. 😁

And, those lyrics are.........just...........sorta................something, I guess. There's something about that last line.....
