Anybody write their OWN lyrics/songs? (1 Viewer)

[llamalope]

So...anybody here on BOS a budding lyricist/songwriter? if so, plz share ur lyrics with us.

This is a non judgemental thread. I don't care how crappy your songs are, I'm just interested in what kind of stuff you write.

 

[mmm_sofay]

ive tried a few times, but i always get writers block after 2 or three lines.
or else i come up with a chorus and cant think of anything to put for the verses
so i give up and dont look at it for months on end.

 

[llamalope]

I'll start you all off....

loneliness is the space on the left side of my bed
on the pillow where you used to lay your head
I've been so empty since you got up and walked away
but everytime I see you I pretend that I'm ok

I'm spending all my onely nights surrounded by you
guess I never got around to getting over you
pretending I don't need you to brighten up my day
but I can't shake you voice saying all you used to say to me

Please beleive me I don't want to sound crazy
but I can't help myself, I still get a lttle hazy
when you talk to me

loneliness is the space on the left side of my bed
on the pillow where you used to lay your head
I've been so empty since you got up and walked away
but everytime I see you I pretend that I'm ok

I lie awake and think about How it used to be
In the days when we were happy, the days of you and me
I wonder how you manage, if you're stronger on your own
It's harder to move on when you're all I've ever known

Please beleive me I don't want to sound crazy
but I can't control myself Is till get a little hazy
when you talk to me, when you're next to me

loneliness is the space on the left side of my bed
on the pillow where you used to lay your head
I've been so empty since you got up and walked away
but everytime I see you I pretend that I'm ok

its not very good.... but it keeps me occupied

"You must spread some reputation around before giving it to mmmsofay again"..........all songwriters should b encouraged

 

[mmm_sofay]

I'm the one that always say
when will this pain go away?
you do it to me again and again
when will this shit come to an end?

love you, hate you? screw you
why'd you have to do it for?
you came to me, say next to me, you lied to me
why'd you have to do it for?



yeah, thats all i got.
i started it mid-late last year, and then gave up on it a week later.

 

[Krangelus]

i am going to be a songwriter when i grow up, this is my first song! Its called Land of Dreams, i hope you enjoy it.



I live in the land of dreams
where everything is not what is seems
Fall asleep, Fall Asleep, Fall Alseep
Go tumbling down into the deep
We'll have such an awesome time
and drink some lovely orange lime
Oh Living in the land of dreams!

Its a wonderful day today
Lets all paint a monet!
anythings possible
anythings plausible
Anything Anything at all!

Oh the land of dreams is so pritty
You can play with a 50 foot Kitty
Its as spontaneous as can be
It doesnt matter if your a he or a she
You can dream to be a dinosaur
Or you can cut wood with a saw
Find treasure on a treasure map
Or drink water from a tap
Oh living in the land of Dreams!

Its A wonderful day today
Lets all sing instead of say!
anythings possible
anythings plausible
Anything Anything at all!

The land of dreams is free
free'er than anything can be
Just close your eyes to see
You will be able to see me
Because...
anythings possible
anythings plausible
Anything Anything at all!
Anything Anything at all!

 

[AsyLum]

perhaps a few music samples might help to those that can

ive been on the lookout for a few people to perhaps start jamming with lately, but no luck, maybe ill get lucky and find one here

 

[Mojoman]

ive written a song... its called... "im not a terrorist im just a guy with a beard"

 

[Not-That-Bright]

HOWARD,
He causes wars,
He makes not peace,
He's screwing up -
the middle east.

I am a flower,
I will plant the seed,
I will vote labor,
I am a tree.

 

[bubz :D]

hmm i wrote this aaaaaages ago when i was going through a lot of stuff with this guy, it was never exactly finished and i hate it now mind the editing thingies.



you don't know what you do to me
<--- insert line here
nothing compares to the touch of your hand
or your chapped lips sweepin' across my skin

breathe in the scent of me, loving you
<-- insert line here

i feel you moving against me
it's filled with emptiness
& i don't know why

(chorus)
you told me you'd wait for me <-- ???
but your promises fade...
like footprints in the sand
i want you to bleed my tears of pain
feel it trickle down your back
you look so (fucking?) beautiful
just like that

(insert verse? here)

i feel you moving against me
it's filled with emptiness
&

(rpt chorus)

your coffee spills across the table
as you reach to sweep the hair out of my eyes
but it's only my fantasy
rewind... to how <s>it</s> we used to be

[llamalope]

Wow, some of you guys write some good stuff.

ohhh and your lyrics don't have to be totally serious.... my friend writes great songs that are just full of shit!

But keep your stuff coming in. I am really interested in what kind of songs people write

 

[llamalope]

here's just another one of my own...

The ropes of emotion
are tightening their chords
reminding me that without you
I'm nothing
I get dizzy thinking about it
help me please

In time I'll find
the key to my releif
but time's not on my side
It's just a price to pay
for living this way
It's just that the strain of thinking
that I'm all alone
is everlasting

People say "You can move on"
But My only friend is this city
I'm going insane
this is not for me
As I look down from the balcony
I think "help me please"

In time I'll find
the key to my releif
but time's not on my side
It's just a price to pay
for living this way
It's just that the strain of thinking
that I'm all alone
is everlasting

After a break down
after the sun's gone down
after the meltdown
gotta put on my best face
even though I'm under strain

In time I'll find
the key to my releif
but time's not on my side
It's just a price to pay
for living this way
It's just that the strain of thinking
that I'm all alone
is everlasting

erm... i was particularly depressed at the time..

 

[flipsyde]

Umm I write heaps.. Ive written 35 songs all up... but here's some

God

Renin based the earth digest him
Carbon taste the ash is blue
You don’t fit here
Stoned with fear
Too save-faced now to shed a tear.
Punish me I haven’t sinned
Forgive me now
Your blade is binned.

Digging heels into the earth
The worms they question all you’re worth
Bowing down to your charm
Tainted beasts we are immune
An unsighted gift we choose to use.
Left in limbo here to dwell
We stand here gutted,
Lifeless shell.

But like your naked
Piece of mind
The milk has curdled in your spine
There’s no fate left to
Read upon

And all the hope he left is gone.

And all the hope he left is gone.

And all the hope he left is gone.

Morris' Song

Shaving names
into the palm
Just try to stay rich
Keeping calm
And I don’t mind
Its just a scratch and you’re unkind.
Numb to the way you’re bleeding me-
I’m sick of these feelings
Hungry for faith in me
But full all of your-
Lies lies lies.

I’m humble, impatient
Messy and complainin’
I’m spent and I’m burnt
I’m speedin’ I’m duellin’
Rescue me from the foolin’.
I’m sick of these feelings
Hungry for faith in me
But full all of your-
Lies lies lies.

Don’t convert me over
This little place of mine
I’m happy
I’m fine
It’s you that should be runnin’
Too scared to weave the basket
Screamin’ out your cries.
I’m sick of these feelings
Hungry for faith in me
But full all of your-
Lies lies lies.

A thousand words
Meshed into none
And this life is boring
Lost its fun
I think I’m growing dumb
With all this bullshit.
I’m sick of these feelings
Hungry for faith in me
But full all of your-
Lies lies lies.


Nothing

All these voices
In my head,
Won't stop to
Form a line.
They just stand
In the crowd,
And gate crash
Their way through.
Spreading their disease
That has consumed me.
It feels like
More than a cold
That's bringing me down.
And the thought
Of this all
Starting again,
Makes me want
To escape faster
Than the rate of the
Crimson river
Flowing from my within,
To the outer shell.
Are you there?
Can you see me
Wanting to flee?
And I'm freezing,
Motionless,
Unable to cry,
Unable to think.
Just barely able
To stare at the roof
From the floor,
'Til I turn hollow.
Shutting my eyes
I remember vaguely
Feeling this before
Are you there?
Can you see me?
I did everything
Right this time
Is there a chance
That destiny's
Depleting me?

Sooty feet

She watches the fire burn
It resembled the shape of a soul,
Yet to know she's seen this before
And only to realise that it be in place to her.
So she was fading away slowly.
All the energy that kept the fires fury
Was soon but a flicker,
'Cause all that's left is a few embers of sanity,
That linger in the air.
Its time to extinguish
All this anguish and the prize
Betrayals denied
She cried
She cried
And in the rainy weather
It soon began to smoulder.
All that was left was the ash of the remains.
She lay a pile of dreams broken
Where she rest to dust.


Yay I'm a Crap writter.... oh well. lol

Ok-
'God' is about my thoughts on God

'Morris' Song is about being lied to adn how people try to change someone

'Nothing' is about not being able to shake off the feeling of depression

'Sooty Feet" is about burning out


I have 31 other pieces.. but hteyre just as crap lol

Cheers

 

[spell check]

all your lyrics make me want to burn ducklings

 

[dezzy]

[llamalope]

Cheers

[llamalope]

here's just one more, because I'm going 2 be off BoS for 2.5 weeks (wow..what a sacrifice...) please keep this thread alive. I really want to hear all your songs when I come back....


Chances are that when we meet
you'll turn away from me
and chances are that you'll keep walking on
chances are the road you're walking
leads away from me
but chances are I'll keep on loving you

When you left, you left me
in such a crazy mess
You were gone
the tears were long
Didn't know how I could go on
And when you walked right out that door
I knew that you were done
but I can't help the feelings that
just won't go away

Chances are that when we meet
you'll turn away from me
and chances are that you'll keep walking on
chances are the road you're walking
leads away from me
but chances are I'll keep on loving you

Baby now I'm ready
and I need you by my side
you'll always be
the one for me
the only one my heart can see
And now know i need you moire
than any words express
It's worth a try
I can't see why...
I know you loved me too

Chances are that when we meet
you'll turn away from me
and chances are that you'll keep walking on
chances are the road you're walking
leads away from me
but chances are I'll keep on loving you

I know it didn't work out
but I know I need you right now
Just give me a chance
one last dance
to show I'll always love you
I'm ready to ride out the storm
take the good times with the bad
I need to know
if you'll give it a go
to work it out with me

Chances are that when we meet
you'll turn away from me
and chances are that you'll keep walking on
chances are the road you're walking
leads away from me
but chances are I'll keep on loving you

see you all when I get back from paris!

 

[um..]

this is one i wrote when i met my first girlfriend, i feel it captures the headiness and urgency that new love can bring

your love is like a fire
burning in my heart
my arteries are sizzling
my aeorta is shooting out hot sparks
my lungs are smoke filled
we will probably have to evacuate my kidneys
the infrastructure keeping my intestines together has melted
and it's contents are dripping out of my bowels
i hope nobody slips over if they are walking behind me
like i have slipped over in your love
my heart is on fire, baby
and its all for you

it's called "get me the fire extinguisher, i think im in love"
