Hey everyone,
First of all, will hopefully be posting here every once in a while, to help out and to post some songs Im writing, who throws round emotion more than a moody teenager, eh?

Well here's really the only song I've really thought about writing properly (not the first song I've ever written, just one I'd think of using).

Cause you're a computer,
Running on a script,
You said you'd break away
And yes, you did...

A hole in your head like no one else,
Cause no body else had just dropped dead,
Hot lead, cures the heavy heart,
Washed it down, with cyanide shots...

You'll never be an individual,
If you don't try to break the chain...

A computer, running on a script,
Let's all go, cut, copy, paste the codes,
Stick to, the given format,
Keep to, the manditory...

You'll never be an individual,
If you can't live to tell the tale...

Cause you're a computer,
Running on a script,
You said you'd break away
And yes, you did...

Any thoughts/constructive criticism?

Thanks

/R.

Cmon guys?
Anything, dont like bumping but you know,
Bit dissappointed ):

Moody teenagers FTW.
:O
Suicide in the second paragraph?
Where more can you go after that?
Is it supposed to be that he is rebelling against the hive mind society in such a prescribed way that it is no longer rebellion?
Very artful, and yet emotionally interesting at well.
OOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooOOOOOooooooohhhhhh........... creepy.
There's a kid in my town who killed himself a while back. I just heard about it though. That reminds me. I wrote and played a song about the well-known "an hero" incident and played it at an open mic. I didn't realize that one of the patrons had recently killed themselves, although everybody had been alluding to it all night long. It was REALLY awkward, although I can't say I was particularly sad.
I'm not saying you should censor your works, but be very careful when you play them. I haven't gone back there since, and somehow I don't think I'm wanted.

Yeah, it's about a kid "rebelling", or at least thinking they are, through suicide, but the narrator is sort of saying "what have you done that no one else has done before you?"

And about your story, sorry to hear about the kid, but I don't think I'd be censoring anything, I will be very careful where I play the songs though, and when for that matter..

Thanks for the feedback :)

I'm not really sure. It feels like you're trying to tell a stroy you don't really know, to be honest. Like a story teller telling a story he's only heard a couple of times. Perhaps strained is the right word.

Yeah, I didn't really plan the song like I should have,
Just sort of dove in,
Any tips for like helping this?

Exprience helps alot. I know it's bad advice, but I'm not sure what else to tell you. I normally right my thoughts down first, than I just put it into order.

I'll keep it in mind :)
Yeah, practice makes perfect I guess,
Or as perfect someone can be ;)

The Heart Speaks What The Mind Thinks.
 

Bridal bombshells don't blitz my backdoor,
I put my hand to the mirror so I don't feel so alone,
All I have is myself, but myself don't want me back,
And my self-esteem just won't cut me any slack...

I want to see what you guys think this means...

women don't like you/you're not looking for stupid whores

because of this you haven't connected with anyone and feel like you're all ronery.

this only adds to your feeling of despair and self deprecation.

Aha- very blunt.
But yeah,, basically the jist of it..
Just wanted to see if what I was writing actually lined up with what I was thinking (:

Keep it to one thread or your posting privileges will be revoked.

Hey hey,
Sorry, didnt know ;)

So I have another lyric, and Im not sure what to think of it yet...
I think I could go on to record it with my uke and stuff (have a bit of a melody played out for it).
Could someone tell me what they think?


"I’ll strike the match,
You hold it to the gasoline,
We’ll run like hell and see how the city feels,
For once…

I’ll take the wheel,
We’ll drive heading for the stars,
Turn the radio up sing till we’re far,
Away…

And we know,
The world will come around some day,
And we know,
The neon lights won’t keep us away,

‘Cause we know we’re heading for the stars,
And we won’t give up until it’s ours,

This city is dead,
There’s nothing left for me,
Don’t know why I don’t just ****ing leave,
Tonight…

So pack your bags,
We’re leaving this town,
Going, going without a sound,
They won’t remember us no they won’t care,
At all…

Cause we know,
The world will come around some day,
Yes we know,
The neon lights cant keep us away…

Cause we know, we’re heading for the stars"

Thanks :)

This is the actual piece of music Im using for the lyrics,
It's not completely perfect, lots of mistakes and things to be worked at, and its only a ukulele part ;)
