Geetarguy's Collection

Untitled
Grace, don't feel left out, into light
Grace, and herd the trust, into life

Screamin...
I'm right here, I'm standin in the shadow of your fears
Kill the seer
I'm right here, wishing you could take back all your years
Kill the seer

Tide, don't feel the rush, implode inside
Love, can you give her it all, your death so small

Screamin...
I'm right here, I'm standin in the shadow of your fears
Kill the seer
I'm right here, wishing you could take back all your years
Kill the seer

And the marble of your eye
Extinguishes a flame inside

Screamin...
I'm right here, I'm standin in the shadow of your fears
Kill the seer
I'm right here, wishing you could take back all your years
Kill the seer

Now I believe that I posted the video correctly, because I had someone tell me how to do it on these forums before, but I am not seeing it.

Youtube has been acting strange today though... If that is the case with all of you here is the actual link for the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPeNIi8c-bQ

I will post the meaning of the lyrics soon

If you want it to work, you make it like:

[ youtube ] NPeNIi8c-bQ [ / youtube ]

Only omitting the spaces.

If you did that, then IDK what's up.

I had an extra space :(

how I didn't notice it before is beyond me haha. Sorry!

I wrote this song about a woman who I had been interested in, in the past couple weeks. It is about how she was a victim of domestic abuse, and I was "standing in the shadow of her fears" aka after her failed and violent relationship I was there trying to fix the peices.

The seer is obviously the man who beat her, and watched on as he did it, almost as outside of his body.

It is about questioning whether or not I can pick up her pieces, and put her back together, and give her "it all". Knowing now that she is worth it, I am still trying.

Very very nice!! I loved this man.

Thanks alot! :)

The Rise
She said, "Live it high and all tonight, don't know if you got the world inside."
"And let it salt upon your chin, rip you out destroy your only mind"
It killed me back at 23
The man I lived had let me die
So I give it all I've got to give
Knowing this will be my only sigh
Its the rise

Its the rise
Its got me down tonight
Its the rise
I'm gonna let it slide and let it feel my veins

She said "Love it don't leave it anyway to breed it"
"Know this chance has got to change it all"
Go there too much there ain't got much to go there
This beat fast my once my only squall
So i 'cide to pick it one last time know this chance to find my only sign
Its the rise

Its the rise
Its got me down tonight
Its the rise
I'm gonna let it slide let it feel my veins

One more time.

Your lyrics leave room for interpretation, which makes them interesting and perhaps lets people more easily read their own lives into them. On the down side, it means (for example with your second song, which sounds great) that I really don't know what the song is *about* without you explaining the song, and I wish I did understand the meaning directly while listening to the music.

I liked the guitar solos and energy in your songs and the fact that you all look like you are having fun!

Geetarguy, I love the sentiment behind your song, which has a nice power to it, my one recommendation for the music being perhaps to have a quieter section to make the vocals stand out like a personal call to this woman.

My other thought is that if you hadn't explained what the song was about, I would have had no idea, although I felt the song was a supportive one due to these lines:

Hey thank you! Yeah when we get our PA system fixed, the quiter parts should be easily remedied. They style I have always written in is more poetic than lyrical, where it has a deeper meaning which may apply differently into your life than mine, or whoevers.

But thanks for the feedback, we have changed untitled a bit, in the day since it has been up, and we are gettin real quiet, and also at the end fading away from the bridge.

Anyways "The Rise", is about filial curses or blessings. Ergo whatever one's parents bestoy on them. It is about my struggle to rise above what my own parents gave to me. It is about the struggle to realize that even though they are drunks, they do in fact care, and always have. There is more to the song, but I'll leave that to yall.

Take it easy! :afro:

I'll post some more in a few, just lookin for any feedback really. Any criticism or praise is welcomed equally :)
