CRITISCM (I can't spell, I know.) is telling a person why, and maybe ways to fix it.

By the way, telling people their songs are cliche is getting pretty damn cliche lol.

Why do my song threads always turn into an argument, with you, jibber? If your not going to critique the song please get out of my thread and PM me if you have a problem and maybe we could work it out instead of constantly fighting in threads and spamming.
I wasn't aware that this was an argument. I merely pointed out that creep's criticism WAS helpful, I wasn't being in any way argumentative. And I did critique the song, calling it cliched. But if you'd like a further and more in-depth critique, I'd be happy to give it to you. I'd say your song is cliched because the subjects you write about have been written about so many times that it becomes very repetitive and boring unless you say it in a unique way. Don't be so direct with your lines, and don't beat us over the head with obvious meaning. use metaphors and symbols to make us work a little more to find meaning in your lyrics. Then you'll have a more interesting song, it'll still convey what you want, and it wont be cliched.
