Song lyrics

[Zen]

Your exercise is to write song lyrics about any subject or emotion you want. Make sure you have a chorus (the part that is repeated in a song at least two times, the main message of the song, and tends to be the lyrics that are stuck in your head) and verses (where new details are revealed about the song and subject in question). You are than welcome to attach a song if you are doing a parody. And I definitely would love to see some Iwaku parodies. =P ​

Re: Writing Exercise: Song lyrics

So I saw this and thought it'd be fun. Sorry that my particular song is a bit ont he 'depressing' side at the start. It's my first song of secular music with lyrics, normally I'm a praise and worship righter (christian faith) but honestly I didn't feel it approriate to post any of those here. This is a song I've been composing since 13, and I hope you enjoy it, it's helped me out a lot in my life and maybe who knows you'll like it. For those of you that are interested I'll end up putting it down in sibalius one of these days, when i do I'll find this post and edit it or somehting like that so you can actually hear it in it's musical context. Meanwhile to any singer-songwriters out there feel free to PM me with aay to improve it'll be great. So here is my song Tears, Drive


Chorous:
Tears fall
heart beats
fists clenched tight
moms words meets
my ears they ring
with words of despair
but that ain't my ending
that life ain't fair

Verse 1:
All along
I've been alone
Mind perplexed with thoughts of a home
A loving family
with gentle hugs
bedtime stories
and lots of love
that's not my life
it's not my place
empty promises
smacks to the face
One day I'll leave this place
Till then I'll just keep pace

Chorous:
Tears fall
heart beats
fists clenched tight
moms words meets
my ears they ring
with words of despair
but that ain't my ending
that life ain't fair

Verse 2:
With my strenght I'll press on
Eyes fixated on the finish line
It matters not what I've been
a live of lonliness is not my end
my dreams they matter
Fuck what they say
Possibilities they come this way
Support from friends is my fuel
I refuse to be yet another tool
Think I'm borken
Think i'm spent
My tears they drive me
though I'm weak
it's not your happiness that I seek
My break down is just a moment
now eyes leak

Chorous:
Tears fall
heart beats
fists clenched tight
moms words meets
my ears they ring
with words of despair
but that ain't my ending
that life ain't fair

Bridge:
Maybe you don't get me
Perhaps I'm too estranged
Maybe you're not listening
Sobs at night excape your ears
Frusration it builds up
tears they stay pent up
even your wife hates you
but you ain't had enough
These tears you drink
are bitter sweet
reaper shall come
and sweep you off your feet
joy it is lost
hope way abandoned
my iron will
was clay
Perhaps you're right
and I couldn't make it
giving up
I just couldn't take it
your eyes on me
and mine on you
Then to realize, this race aint through

Vamp:
These tears of mine
they last
They last if only in my past
I'll reach the goal
achieve the mark
I'll run my race
fom finish to start.

Re: Writing Exercise: Song lyrics

.----. I'm feeling really happy today, so i came up with this:


You can't seem to do anything right,
Whatever you think,
You're Right,
So think bright and shine,
Don't hide yourself in the shadows,
Please, just please,
Don't hide yourself in the shadows.


You've got so much to live,
Don't walk into an alley with an end
It will hurt,
It wil hurt,
But after all it will end,
It will end, I promise,
Let me help you in this journey,
In a starry night we cry,
Under the stars
they will hold our memories
take the bad ones,
and give us the best ones.

Just help me as well,
Because we all have monsters,
Some know them well,
Others don't,
Let us both,
Weak lights,
Help each other,
Let's shine bright,
Up in the sky.


You can't seem to do anything right,
Whatever you think,
You're Right,
So think bright and shine,
Don't hide yourself in the shadows,
Please, just please,
Don't hide yourself in the shadows.



Don't judge Me XD
I know my "lyrics" suck XD

Re: Writing Exercise: Song lyrics

I was just listening to some instrumental covers and my brain started thinking about lyrics, so here goes.
(chorus)
However many may fall,
The weak, the strong, the proud, the tall.
Walking, walking through the realm of the dead
Ghouls calling through to those left behind.
Falling into the black.
(Verse 1)
My mind is drifting and twisting as I walk among these shades
The sun shines black overhead.
My mind, tortured, tormented,
I'm ready to give in.
(chorus)

That's as far as I've gotten so far... will post more later.

Re: Writing Exercise: Song lyrics

I do not know much about songwriting but I took a crack at it anyway. This is sort of a parody/promo for a place of a character of mine, I hope you enjoy it at least.

Chorus:
Embraced by the shadows I do desire,
to warm my flesh by the fire. .
The walls abound with the tune of a lyre,
hips asway in wanton swirl,
many to bed a drunken girl. Linens and limbs they do unfurl,
many to bed a drunken girl.

Verse 1:
Welcome to 'Luette's Loot and Lute
home to any size or suit,
'tis the best,
none can refute,
a cut above the rest,
Luette's Loot and Lute.

Chorus:
Wisps of cold,
the crippling grasp of Winter's hold,
all seem to dissipate,
as the liquor satiates...
Embraced by the shadows I do desire,
to warm my flesh by the fire. .
The walls abound with the tune of a lyre,
hips asway in wanton swirl,
many to bed a drunken girl.
Linens and limbs they do unfurl,
many to bed a drunken girl.

Verse 2:
Song or thievery be your game,
walls to ring with with tales of fame,
a place to meet without any shame,
begone the chill by the flame,
Luette's Loot and Lute be your aim.

Chorus:
Whether from heist or death you run,
spend your nights somewhere that's fun,
wines and ales ever-flowing,
seeds to new friendships you will be sowing..
Embraced by the shadows I do desire,
to warm my flesh by the fire. .
The walls abound with the tune of a lyre,
hips asway in wanton swirl,
many to bed a drunken girl.
Linens and limbs they do unfurl,
many to bed a drunken girl.

Bridge:
'Luette's Loot and Lute,
the place to be,
if you wish for comaderie,
come and enjoy song and friends,
worry not about your bitter end!

RE: Song Lyrics challenge! This is for Harry Potter!

Verse 1:
I have a lightning scar
right upon my head~
Now my parents are dead,
they were killed by Voldemort.

Now i'm at Hogwarts to learn every spell
so i can kill Voldemort in my seventh year of school~

Pre Chorus:
But Malfoy's not making it easy
and Snape's not helping either
I think they may be deatheaters
workin' for Voldemort~

Chorus:
So get out get out get outta my head
I need to become an Occlumens
so Voldemort can't know my plans
to destroy his Horcruxes


Verse 2:
Voldemort has been after me
Since the tri-wizards game
after i brought him back at fourteen
my bad

Pre Chorus:
Later in my life
i was caught by the death-eaters
At the Malfoy manor
but Malfoy saved me by lying

Chorus (Repeat 2x)

I destroyed his Horcruxes
and what was left of him~
