I wonder if Raine is that serious to get marry with Crowe... -__-

despite of that, I like the creation, sound dispersing and sorrowful ^^

She waits, she's naive,
That stupid knight has,
Yet to arrive on golden steed.
Will he ride to find her and if so,
Will he know the way home?

that line sticks out for me for some reason. i guess it just seems less mature than the rest of the song, but other than that, i really like it. like you said it's not your usual style, but you've done a great job with it, i'd actually like to see some more from you in the same style.

I like the lyrics, but while reading it, it had a P!ATD rhythm. But that's probably just me.

Yeah you know what I actually had an interesting time deciding whether to keep that line. From the character of the naive girl, it fits. As for my own writing style, I'm usually much more descriptive. However, that verse is the thought of the character, and not my own thought. In her mind, she would be thinking - where is that stupid knight - and my songs are almost completely and utterly character driven... but you're right...

^It's not really clear that it's her thought. It's more as if you're describing her, and then the knight, as a narrator.

Ah, this isn't emo. Emo is now designated by over the top, personal reactions to situations and the sound of the actual music. This is more symbolic and a look at three very different people, a microcosm as it were. And instead of a personal reaction, it is told from the point of an omnipresent narrator. The point of the piece is to remind people that they are not alone, though situations may seem dire.

That being said, I also hate the label emo - every song ever written has an emotional attachment whether it's My Chemical Romance's "Helena", Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", Chuck Berry's "Maybelline", David Bowie's "Queen Bitch", or even Andrew W.K.'s "Party Hard".

I think the term "emo" is a tool for hipsters to further alienate themselves from people they see as conformists or whatever the label is now. I find it unfortunate that I have to use that term on a daily basis to describe certain bands and only to recieve a look of disgust as soon as it leaves my mouth.

Sorry Rant. This is not emo. But I like emo, so even if it were - w00t w00t.

1) don't post if your post is going to be useless
2) if you can't stop yourself from making useless posts, at least post in english. LYRICS not lyrcs (vowels are fun), and section, not setion.
