Genre: I would have say it's a rock song where its sung medium octave and medium tempo. LOl if any of that makes sense.

Titled: I've had enough

You come to me with another tear
hanging on your cheek
trying out the newest...lie
like a fool you try to pull me in
It's from the slam of the door
you hear the anger in my silence


So many things I wanna scream
but this silence has gotten the best of me
I cant find the words to tell you
this time your games won't work
you can't pull me in


It's time I tell you...I've had enough
Standing on behind my door
walking down the hall
scream all you want
Soon I won't hear the screams from outside
I won't be here to see what you got to say


how can I show you
Your worst then drugs
made me feel like a sinking ship
relationship bound for disaster
it took me getting lost in the dark
for me to see see the light


It's time I tell you...I've had enough
Standing on behind my door
walking down the hall
scream all you want
Soon I won't hear the screams from outside
I won't be here to see what you got to say


Why do you always want to waste our time
with something that never felt real
but time after time there you are
ready for me to get fooled again
dont even try and waste my time
I'm through with all the games


The more I push you away
you see me living your dream
Every time you turn around
it's funny how the bottom feels
when it chews you up and spits you out
you start to see how
I was always there to take you back


It's time I tell you...I've had enough
Standing on behind my door
walking down the hall
scream all you want
Soon I won't hear the screams from outside
I won't be here to see what you got to say


the baggage always seems heavier
when you have to carry it on your own
it's when you stop to sleep
you'll see all the pain you've caused
only when the door slams
is where you'll hear me talking back


cause It's time you see...I've had enough
Standing on behind my door
hearing my footsteps walking down the hall
leaving you to scream all you want
out of site to show I can still hear
I won't be here to see what you got to say

title: Picking up the pieces

Your games/
They pushed me to far away/
I can no longer see me loving you/
And all the wants that you lied about/
And all the needs you demanded from me/
you never cared about me a single second/

tonight im going to start breathing on my own/
im trying to unweave the damage that you've done/
maybe it was best that we never this to work/
all the weight is lifted and i can see the light/
On this afternoon i spent waiting around on you/
I gave the final wasted day by the grip of your hands/

When the heart slowly breaks and falls on the floor,/
i slowly pick up the pieces and move on/
i slowly pick up the pieces and move on/

a shooting star later that night gave me some hope/
i knew i wasnt going to be alone for long/
I can’t explain the feeling that swept over me./
youre finding out things arent like you thought they were/
im wanting to tell you how things always come back around/

tonight im going to start breathing on my own/
im trying to unweave the damage that you've done/
maybe it was best that we never this to work/
all the weight is lifted and i can see the light/
On this afternoon i spent waiting around on you/
I gave the final wasted day by the grip of your hands/

[Chorus]
When the heart slowly breaks and falls on the floor,/
i slowly pick up the pieces and move on/
i slowly pick up the pieces and move on/.
you want to show me the reasons behind your actions/
It’s too late to try an tell me youre sorry for what youve done/
my heart has moved on for the finall time tonight/,
my heart has moved on for the finall time tonight/,


Now I’m with someone else that makes me happy/
my life has been so much better since i fell in love/
its my fault that i never seen what was in front of me all along/
It’s better than what you tried to show me through your eyes/

All the times i tried to prove the feelings i had for you/
Now im showing the feelings as i pass you on by/

[Chorus x2]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your games/

Title: Smeared lipstick
Heeey heeeey heeeeey

Your lipstick stains on my **** are blowing my mind
I knew it would feel good,
but didn't know it be such a mess
now my boxers look like I pissed on a rainbow
You need to use you mouth and clean it all up/
The smell of you on my balls are getting me sick/
I knew when we **** it'd be an interesting night/
now you're a *** stain away from being a regret/

Hey cheap street lady, how long is all this going to take
The way your moving it feels like it wont take much longer
Hey cheap street lady, you need to swallow just a little bit more

Heeey heeeey heeeey

Just a little bit of time, this is all I have to give tonight
youre working my **** tonight
this aint no love connection, but youre blowing my mind
makin me over look the smell to finish this nutt
any minute im going to unload this hose
In a back alley while the world passes by I could care less
for five bucks this is the best head i've ever gotten

Hey cheap street lady, how long is all this going to take
The way your moving it feels like it wont take much longer
Hey cheap street lady, you need to swallow just a little bit more

well can you clean the smeared lipstick
remove all signs from where you've been
I still got a home to go to
You're going to be a distant *** stain I wont forget
ill see you in every rainbow I see in the sky
the memory of your smeared lipstick on my ****
brings back more then just the smell of your breath

Hey cheap street lady, how long is all this going to take
The way your moving it feels like it wont take much longer
Hey cheap street lady, you need to swallow just a little bit more
Heeey heeeey heeeeey
Heeey heeeey heeeeey

I really feel like this could have been written better.
It's really late and there's more I want to say, but there's so much. xD

iron9567 12-06-2009 02:06 PM

which one?
thanks for replying to my thread none the less i really appreciate it.

Arya Stark 12-06-2009 02:13 PM

"Picking up the pieces" is what I read.

iron9567 12-06-2009 02:20 PM

lol yeah ive noticed most of the lines are forced a bit and the structure needs some tweaking.but after not writing for almost a year. It doesn't surprise me any to write a flopper,lol. Do you have a journal on here?

Arya Stark 12-06-2009 02:24 PM

I don't respect a lot of the opinion's given here, so no.
I want constructive criticism, not... whatever it is they give. =P

iron9567 12-06-2009 02:31 PM

well im so use to the same thing so anymore i only comment on anyone else work that comment on mine. If you want i guarantee constructive criticism if you wont it on any of your work.

Arya Stark 12-06-2009 03:59 PM

Haha, thanks.
Maybe I'll think about it. >.<

iron9567 12-06-2009 04:15 PM

I figured i would return the favor since you commented on my work. I would comment on yours.

VEGANGELICA 12-13-2009 12:17 PM

Hi iron man,

I read your song lyrics and noticed that all so far (except the last :)) seem to deal with a failed relationship in which someone is using the singer/speaker of the songs. I decided to comment on this one in particular and will put my comments in bold within your song.

Your games/
They pushed me to [too] far away/
I can no longer see me loving you/
And all the wants that [I feel you could streamline the lyrics by getting rid of "that"] you lied about/
And all the needs you demanded from me/
you never cared about me a single second/

tonight im going to start breathing on my own/
[This made me think of Katy Perry's "I'm Still Breathing" song]
im trying to unweave the damage that you've done/
maybe it was best that we never [got] this to work/
all the weight is lifted and i can see the light/
[this stanza has a lot of cliches, such as "breathing on my own," "weight is lifeted," "see the light." Too many cliches can weigh down a song, I feel]
On this afternoon i spent waiting around on you/
I gave the final wasted day by the grip of your hands/
[I don't understand this final line...giving the wasted day "by" the grip of your hands. Do you mean you "in" the grip of your hands?]

When the heart slowly breaks and falls on the floor,/
i slowly pick up the pieces and move on/
i slowly pick up the pieces and move on/
[Again, iron man, the image of a heart breaking is cliche and so that may detract from the uniqueness of the song. Of course, many songs use the same metaphors and are still songs that are very meaningful and moving]

a shooting star later that night gave me some hope/
[the shooting star idea of foretelling the future...if the future is preordained in some way, then why would the singer be upset and singing about a failed relationship, since the failure was all part of some "plan" in the first place?]
i knew i wasnt going to be alone for long/
I can’t explain the feeling that swept over me./
youre finding out things arent like you thought they were/
im wanting to tell you how things always come back around/

tonight im going to start breathing on my own/

I gave the final wasted day by the grip of your hands/

[Chorus]
When the heart slowly breaks and falls on the floor,/
i slowly pick up the pieces and move on/
i slowly pick up the pieces and move on/.
you want to show me the reasons behind your actions/
It’s too late to try an tell me youre sorry for what youve done/
my heart has moved on for the finall time tonight/,
my heart has moved on for the finall time tonight/,
[I would prefer "I moved on" rather than using the "heart" metaphor again in the last two lines]

Now I’m with someone else that makes me happy/
[this line above sounds to me a little like a diary being read. I think I'd prefer the second line, below, to start the stanza, and then add onto that line the information that the singer has fallen in love with someone else who makes him/her happy]
my life has been so much better since i fell in love/
its my fault that i never seen [saw?] what was in front of me all along/
It’s better than what you tried to show me through your eyes/
All the times i tried to prove the feelings i had for you/
[Perhaps "after all the the times..." would link this line to the next one]
Now im showing the feelings as i pass you on by/
[So you mean that after all the times the singer tried to prove the feelings of love, now the singer is showing the feelings of disdain]
[Chorus x2]

The lyrics are about a topic many people relate to: feelings of anger over a relationship that doesn't work out. I feel the song would benefit from having more unique ways of describing the feelings. As it is currently, the lyrics don't have a hook that makes me remember them very vividly because the images seem fairly commonplace to me (broken heart, seeing the light, etc.). I do feel the song length is probably a good one for most people (I almost always write too much!:)). I like how you use several lines of the chorus early on then later provide the whole chorus, which I think will add a feeling of building momentum in the song.

thanks alot for your feedback this is not the only site ive posted this on. I knew some of the lines may come off as a bit to cliche. So i posted them to see what everyone thought about some of the lines. most of the ideas you suggested were good valid points. and i appreciate each and everyone. I think one of my problems is im to close to the song to see all the things wrong with them. Ill take your suggestions into consideration when i go to edit it in a few weeks.
thanks
the iron man

lol by the way what did you think about the one titled smeared lipstick lol

Hi iron man,
I'm glad you feel my suggestions may be helpful. I wouldn't say there is something *wrong* with the song, but that different people may react in different ways to them, and in my case I'm sensitive to cliche phrasing. However, there are many songs that use the heart metaphor that I like. For example, I've always liked "Total eclipse of the heart."

Oh, "Smeared lipstick" was very blatant! I felt it described oral sex performed by a prostitute very accurately. The song made me wonder if it was based on real or imagined experiences! If it was based on real experiences, then that raises a lot of red flags for me, since I oppose people paying others to perform a sexual activity, which I feel people should be free to offer only because they want to (and not for payment). I worry that women, who tend to have lower incomes than men, are being pressured or forced into prostitution because of social inequality, poverty, and exploitation. So a song glamorizing prostitution troubles me, even though the "artiste" in me stands firmly behind free speech and expression.

Now that I've commented on the content of "Smeared Lipstick," I'll have to go back and read the lyrics to evaluate their structure!

--Erica

iron9567 12-20-2009 01:39 PM

lol don't worry lipstick was from a fictional story. I would have to do alot of explaining to do to the wife it was a real story. To be honest I have never written a song like this. So as often as I do. I experimented and tried something new.
Thanks
the iron man

Arya Stark 12-23-2009 12:00 AM

Goodness, Iron.
I'm almost happy I didn't read that lipstick one at first.
Vulgar is one thing, but this is vulgar, corny, poorly written, and I don't even know.

I love you to death, but I have to let you know I just... I can't even express how I feel about this song. >.< I like the first one better, now.

darkcornerinthecloset 12-25-2009 09:26 PM

personally the first two are nothing new. theyre a lot like that crap that i was posting a few months ago, before i pretty much gave that up. the third one i think is a little better. however, i have to agree with awwsugar on this; its gross. no one really wants to hear about that...however it at least was somewhat original and...expressive. i dont know what the right word for that would be...
