In need of lyrics..help plz
 

[FONT=Times New Roman]undefinedundefined
I'm the lead singer for my emo band but we've been having trouble coming up with lyrics...help please! :confused:

Think of a time in your life when you were sad/mad/happy/whatever. Then write your ideas about that down. Then leave as is or do what I do and use metaphors.

example

Spitting Back Words With Just A Bit More Venom


We’ve reached the end my dear
And I’ve got the rope right here
Enough to hang you right where I want you

I’ll sing back your words
Now tell me how it hurts
To not have any recourse or grace

You’re so wonderful in all your beauty
Beauty so paper thin, beauty so ugly
You’re so fragile in all your beauty
Beauty so fleeting, beauty so dreadful

How could you think I’d help you?
You killed me so many times, once will be enough

I’ll say it was the only way
And I won’t feel guilty or ashamed
I planned this every night I died

I hope you can see
The scars you’ve given me
And so ends all your voiceless whispers

You’re so wonderful in all your beauty
Beauty so paper thin, beauty so ugly
You’re so fragile in all your beauty
Beauty so fleeting, beauty so dreadful

i find it really nice :D

thanks for the tips. its always good to have sum help! btw that song is awesome

one time
we dressed emo
and looked f-ing ridiculous
and totally sucked

you don't have to give me credit for this

you have no idea what your talking about and its funny.... :rofl:.....post again please before i have to go to class

i only started writing lyrics this weekend,
just think of some thing you hate or made you sad and just write what comes to your head dude:)
heres one of my songs(it only toulk me 10mins so it aint finalised:) ):

Disposable lover

I’m walking down the line that divides you and me,
There’s something inside, there’s more to your life,
Is it you who decides, if there is a you and me,
Handle me with care my heartbreaks easily.

Just do what you want now,
Don’t keep it inside,
Or it’ll be the end of your life,

Burn the pictures, forget the signs,
The line is now miles and it can’t be changed,
Oceans separate you and me,
Hearts no longer intertwined,
Struck down by your hate,
I lie bleeding across your flour.

To die is what I long for,
Kill me, bleed me,
Take my life like the love you once gave me,
I have nothing to live for,
Dispose of me now forget my love.
I’m nothing without you,
Just an empty shell of what was you and me.

Forget me, you don’t love me,
I’m your disposable love,
Used and abused,
Fulfill my destiny.
Kill me.


comments would be appreciated hehe:P
chears

Just like he is saying, but it´s not quite that easy to write about the past feelings when you just got over it/her/them *g*!
Just think about what´s in your mind right now, and then start to write... just let your mind fly away.... if you want to express something really hard, then compare it to something.
P.e. when you want to say that this pain is incredeble and just hardly can hold your tears, and your body is shaking, then use words like:

And it grows,
It grows like a rosebush
and it just reached my loungs
my chest is breaking under their pressure.
Like thousand dry toungs,
Your words won´t make this better

Just let yourself go!

if you want help, listen to circle takes the square. the lyrics they write kill.

example: Our Need to Bleed.

Flesh was to sever, a palette to harness the pain. With stainless steel, we took back control of our fate. His skin so fair, a newly stretched canvas. (here was born a filthy blood red mark)Redemption dies hard when you've ripped out the roots at the seams. Pins and needles bled our black blood hearts. Hold the knife closer, just nine more steps toward the gate...You've already swallowed the key.
Have you ever heard a scream this for real? Have you ever shattered silence...
Perpetuate the unpredicted, dying for these scars we wear. Scars are tokens of the present. Refusing to accept our share of ****.
Scars are forever, a testimony to our needs, undaunted by our shallow lives, our need to bleed. Flesh was severed, a testimony to our needs, undaunted by our fragile lives, our need to bleed.
Undaunted by our fragile lives. Our flesh was severed to the bone.

come up with a story line first. it may be hypothetical, fictional, or maybe a story taken from your life. then just start wrtiting. write down whatever you think of. you can make corrections and changes later. organize the lyrics well. and then you have a song. try to use similies and metaphors, they always make for interesting lyrics,.

Try writin down feelings. Not as lyrics, just how ur feelin.Then if u get stuck for a next line u can use those ideas. They wont sound fake if they're real feelings. It worked 4 me. And if u want 2 finish the song l8r then they can remind u of what u wer writin about

That was amazing! Trés bon... Ok that's all the french I know. Tis good anyways :)

When using metaphors... don't get too carried away. If you start your song with no base, then nobody can realize what the metaphor stems from and it seems like pointless gibberish. One of the simplest examples that I can think of comes from a brand new song "you are the blood in my veins" that line is simple, understandable, but still requires some thought

Blood in your veins... you need blood to live or exist, therefor, I would not exist without you

Once you think of it in those terms it becomes easier to use metaphors.

hell... writing this and talking about blood and such gave me and Idea

This is another generic love song
About another broken heart
With the vain intent
That you'll attempt
To listen good and hard

This is just another kid
His eyes bleeding salty rain
Trying unsuccesfully to hide the scars she left
beneath his chest

(chrorus?)
So this is a love song...
And I'll present my pain
in a way
make clever and new
it could never happen to you (please... please take this as the sarcasm it is)

And this is another sheet of paper
molested by the pen
perverted to recieve
some remnants of me

not done... but anyway... this is a really rough few verses of a song I'm apparently writing. it's just inspiration, when you feel something stronger then usual or think of an apt metaphor for no reason, write it down, it could inspire you. so my advice is always keep some paper nearby.

Woah, everyone else seems really good at this.
Whenever I do it I end up stabbing the page with my pen..

All the songs i read kick ass! Why do mine suck! I guess some ppl r born gifted n others r just born.

everybody writes differently. a lot of this advice is good, but people telling you how they write doesnt really help. just keep trying things until you find a way your comfortable with and happy with what your creating. dont write to please anyone else. write to express what your feeling to YOU. writeing doesnt have to be for the audiance. even if your writing for a band, nobody has to know exactly what you are writing about. the main thing is just please yourself.
