Spur of the moment, but from deep within:
It's poetry to me rather then lyrics.....

Love oh Love
sweet mystery
Knocked on my door
and made me see

A world so different
bright and bold
Embraced me shook me
rocked my world

Love oh Love
sweet mystery
Possessed my my heart
and made me see

A world of beauty
pure and fine
It conquered, grew
a love divine

Love oh Love
sweet mystery
lives in my heart
and never leaves

[Wopelka]

i wrote these lines last friday...
bad french, free verses...

* * *

Tu es là, de toujours à jamais
Dans l'éternité de l'instant
Non-né, immortel
Embrassant l'être d'une simple pensée
Il semble t'appartenir tout entier
Et pourtant, un battement de cil
Et ton royaume s'évanouit
Te laisse nu
Etranger à ce qui fut ta demeure
Un souffle, un rien, et tu as déjà sombré
En des régions sans rappel possible

Ton origine t'échappe et ta fin n'est qu'un creux
Une faim, un désir
Que rien ne semble assouvir
Pas même l'amour
Qui finalement se fait domestique
Surtout pas la réussite
Qui s'empresse de te montrer la facture
Tu crois alors pouvoir creuser
Déterrer un prétendu miroir intime
Et plus tu le cherches, moins tu le trouves

Le temps t'emporte et tu vois la coque se lézarder
Et pourtant tu restes toi, irrémédiablement inchangé
Un peu plus gros de souvenirs
Un peu plus lourd dans tes pas
Mais toujours cette insondable liberté de l'aurore
Ce possible que le sommeil lui-même n'éteint pas
Ce vertige de ne pouvoir t'agripper qu'à ta solitude
Car oui tu es seul, et vide, pur reflet de l'être
Qui s'anime de toi et pense par toi

Tu cherches à ordonner toutes ces parcelles
Souder une forme, dessiner un visage clair
Peut-être es-tu de ceux qui se posent sur un socle d'emprunt
Qui se fabriquent une maison de sable
Sans se salir les mains
Ou alors es-tu tenté de tout abandonner
De maudire l'air en aspirant le néant
Y a-t-il une bonne solution

Pour moi j'ai choisi
Faire de la vie un chant

well, since it's April, I suppose I won't make the March contest, but I did finish the lyrics for the Island theme. I was trying for a Goo-Goo dolls-ish (?) guitar ballad thingy but I forgot I don't play guitar. also, not sure how to format the post, but they're not 4 line stanzas - originally they were longer couplets followed by the island bit. It flows better in my head that way. Here's what almost was:


the line divides cars flying by,
travelling in different directions/
they frame a space where people pace
looking for connection/
-out on the island/

A man he stands with flowers in hand
and offers love for sale/
for a paltry price buy something nice
for love or else for bail/
-out on the island/

bits and shards of trash and cars
that glitter in the headlights/
parts broken off protect what's soft
scattered under redlights/
-out on the island/

twenty feet is all I need
to speed away in fear/
and driving by I'll leave behind
life in the rearview mirror/
-out on the island/

and I wonder who's really safe here/
and I wonder who's locked out/
and I'm sitting down but I'm still running
from the words in my head and your mouth/

(-out on the island)

I'm strapped inside so tightly
in my own safe little space/
to prevent head-on collisions with
the rest of the human race/

-It's time to get off of the island

damn yuppiegulag
those lyrics are great

[pHz]

in a total contrast - just been flicking through TV channels for 5 minutes and typed in random phrases i heard ...

as new destinations
to draw new crowds
you realise the meaning
get over the message

temperatures falling
a thief wants to change
survive culture clash
please make me honest

one or two breaks
in those brighter spots
those pockets of sunshine
if youre like me

i can do it
its a one-off cost
thats going to expose
a time barrier

a total new dimension
in a better order
we know this is true
because we say it is

the fabric of life
i can do it too
you get quality service
not just that he died

a weekend in amsterdam
with more bad news
to get his head straight
speak to the doctor

because movements a big thing

for him

thanks opiadream,

pHz - I heard a song once using the same kind of composition using only televangelist clips! It was hysterical - or creepy..?

[Emerald Tablet]

your love
is better than porn
better than drugs
better than money

your love
is better than music
better than jesus
better than me

set me free
set me free
set me free

your love
better than tv
better than radio
better than internet

your love
better than sunshine
better than moonglow
better than stars

set me free
set me free
set me free

simple lyric : a bit cliché but hey i`m hearing the song in this


How could trash me so rashy love me than go to forget me
How could you desire me than lie to me and upset me
Put my heart all aglow and then go so it will extinguish
I may be deaf-and-dumb but im an emotional linguist

and the words i sing are the tears i cry
the notes i play are the questions why
and the stage im on is my diary
and does who understand will admire me

How could you tell me you love me than leave me like its realy nothing
I would expect you to scream like me or atleast to say something
Like every girl i once loved had emotional impact
If your willing to love than you know your heart might not stay intact

and the words i sing are the tears i cry
the notes i play are the questions why
and the stage im on is my diary
and does who understand will admire me

ONE BAD DAY
VERSE 1
I'm sittin here thinkin
Theres been too much drinkin
As I'm cryin in my beer
Can't believe its true
After all that I've been thru
That I'd somehow wind up back here
Sittin on the couch with my shoulders in a slouch
I'm readin dirty magazines
CHORUS
But everytime I pick myself up
And turn my life around
There's a big black boot hangin over my head
Kickin me to the ground
Well, I'm one bad day ,away
From going mad
I'm one bad day away
VERSE 2
My credit cards maxed
I owe back tax
This mornin my car up and died
Again I'm late for work
And my boss the fuckin jerk,,says
Hey man your fired
So I clenched my fist and I punched him in the chin
He went and called the police
Now I'm sittin in jail
And I can't make bail
How my gonna get released
(maybe a lead here,then the chorus again)


My synths just didn't do this any justice,I could use some guitar......

[glurgle]

hmm, I will contribute random snippets because I've rarely got lyrics together for a whole song. *big spaces* mean a new and unrelated snippet. Btw these range through a couple of tumultuos years and some are better than others.

scar myself into something beautiful for you
this is one choice I really can't refuse
I don't feel pain, I only feel change.
Don't feel pain, I only feel change.

**************

the cycle gives you something in which to beleive
using mental illness as an ace up your sleeve
I know all the tricks because I used to play
they don't fool me now that I've found a proper way.

***************
Drift:

I've cut my mooring lines
and drifted out to sea
I've left nothing behind
and there's nothing in front of me
there's nothing to stop me drifting away

***************

she's a clever leech full of cunning and deceit
like a succubus your soul she'll eat
she knows the things to say that will keep you here
but is it really love or is it fear?

the leech knows
that all she has is talk and show
and as time flows
it seems this leech will never grow

up, so she
sucks
(written about a friends girl, whom I didn't particularly like at the time)
********************

(blatantly done to the same meter as the opening bars of some slipknot song)
there's a hint of desperation in my overconfident facade
I know, I won't, get away this time
sorry to destroy your notion of an everlasting god
you know, we won't, be saved this time

********************

filling in the lines has got you this far
so can't it take you further onward
forward to the end of time
filling in the lines.

********************

and I'm spent for the moment (although there are probably many more) a lot of these have been made into songs, and some haven't, feel free to use any of them though. (granted I still hold copyrights or writers credits or whatever). I don't particularly like the tone of most of them, as they generally came from unhappiness I brought on myself, but that seems to be a popular way to write for some genres.

[e-modic]

hello, maybe someone wants to write a song/lyric together with me as my english is not so good and I have problems with 'finding the right words' so it sounds nice/poethic/intelligent....

I am on a song right now and I wanted to have the following:

"if only I could be what you want me to be"

verse:

I feel blue nearly every day
Many people said I have changed myself
They are right this will remain unchanged

Everyday I try,
but still wake up with the same picture of you in my head.
You are standing their in all your beauty, and softness.
I wish I could get this picture out of my head.

bridge:

You once wanted me but I refused
Today you are in love with another man,
the day I wanted you back, but it´s to late
we often take wrong decisions

chorus:

I would love to be together with you again,
to hold you in my arms and to feel your breathing.
If only I could be your friend again
and change everything and begin from new.


So this sounds very goofy, does someone have an idea how to get this into a nice sounding text, with warn colors and flowers?? Know what I mean?

The main thing behind this is, that the guy did a mistake because he didn´t take her when she wanted him, now he is in a damn shit mood for the rest of his life for that mistake

Cheers
