Wow, we have some great songwriters here! DM: Ur songs are great. I agree with whoever said that it was Linkin Park!!! Thats part of why I like it! Great stuff. Meg: Wow, very touching song, reminds me of Ataris songs. Man...you should really play a tune to thoes songs and then you guys can share it, cuz they are good songs!

If I could find an emo band to back it up and have them play the tune that is bouncing around in my head I would...hehehe

Thanks though...

by **TDM** » Friday 13 February 2004 5:26:13pm

wow, thanks guys. (BTW, it was i who said that they were as if Linkin Park would sing them). however, i would love to actually perform them myself. however, the only thing that i could do would be rap, because i can't sing or play an instrument. so, i'll just keep on writing them. that reminds me:

"NOBODY CARES"

[If I just turned around and walked away,]
[Started a new life for another day,]
[I doubt anyone would notice I was gone,]
[For this life here would finally be done.]
[The person I am now would be no more,]
[If I just turned around and walked out the door,]
[And into another, becoming someone else,]
[Until I look inside, finding myself.]
[Just not having an idea of what will be,]
[And all this time, no one cares about me.]

Nobody cares, I must do this by myself.
Everyone cares about something else.
Always moving, I've never had a true home.
Thinking quietly, knowing that I'm all alone...

[All these thoughts in my head, running around,]
[Knowing that someday I will never be found.]
[For everything in the life has become a mess;]
[That's why I say I'm done; it's for the best.]
[Everything in this world seems that it's a lie.]
[It seems that no one would care if I died.]
[And so in the end, I get down and kneel,]
[Confessing to you about what I feel]
[About what I think, and abut what I see;]
[And all this time, no one cares about me.]

chorus

All the pain, that I've kept inside,
Is coming out, now that I decide,
Who I am, And I'll do what I dare.
This is my life, even though NOBODY CARES!

chorus 2x

Nobody cares that I'm all alone...
Nobody cares that I'm all alone...
Nobody cares THAT I'M ALL ALONE!

TDM,i really like your songs, especially that last one, "Nobody cares", because it reminds me of...well, me :-?

.

by **TDM** » Monday 15 March 2004 12:03:54am

here's more if you guys like them, because i have many a song to say:

"RIDDLE ME THIS"

[Riddle me this! What should I do?]
[Why do I ask? Cause I'm sick of you!]
[I'm just tired of always finishing last,]
[But that's over now, it's in the past!]
[I've gotten way better than I used to be.]
[Can you tell? Or don't you see]
[What I'm trying to accomplish here?]
[I'm just finally facing up to my fear]
[Of you spreading all the pain and gore.]
[But I'm not afraid anymore.]

RISING UP!
[I'll tell you how I feel.]
FIGHTING BACK!
[There's no more time to heal.]
NOT GIVING UP!
[The field is even now.]
NO TURNING BACK!
[And to me you will bow.]

[Riddle me this! What did you do?]
[I used to be much better than you.]
[But then you, as the way it seems,]
[Stole my happiness, hopes and dreams.]
[And now I'm back to reclaim what's mine.]
[Once I do, the sun will shine]
[On my life, and everything I try.]
[Cause when I'm done with you, you'll wanna die.]
[You'll be so confused and won't know what to do,]
[Cause from here on out, I'm better than you.]

chorus

I want it to end now...
[Is it just that hard to see?]
I just don't know how...
[That you're slowly killing me?]
I'm trying to change modes...
[Deep in my soul]
I'm Gonna Explode...
[OUT OF CONTROL!]

chorus 2x

Rising Up
Fighting Back
Not Giving Up
No Turning Back

by **Mistress Siana** » Tuesday 16 March 2004 12:24:52am

Really liked that one, Dm!!

Built a life
A hundred stories high
An endless book of empty pages
Lived away
A dream that failed to stay
Simplified
What’s left is you

Waves of me
And all I cannot be
Forced their way into the dark
Fragile touch
Not enough of way too much
Without the cold
Who am I, now?

All I am
Will simply slip away
The day you’re gone
Caved, declined
The wall I starved behind
Unattached
And incomplete

Who am I, now?

I know...confusing

by **TDM** » Tuesday 16 March 2004 1:06:49am

wow, Siana, i liked that one. it really reminded me of something Evanescence would do, and i really like that band. but that song of yours was simple, complex, and just all-around soothing!

here's one called:

"WHY SHOULD I?"

You only think that this just isn't real.
But you don't know all that I feel.
So you're playing with my soul like this is a game.
And you're just putting me through all of this pain...
But you need me now!

Why should I help you?
You've brought me nothing but pain.
Why should I trust you?
There's nothing for me to gain.
Why should I believe
Anything that you have to say?
Why should I be in
You life for even one more day?

You need me more than I'll ever need you.
And you're so lost; you don't know what to do.
To you, this is the only way that you see.
And now you understand that you need me...
But I don't need you!

chorus

You feel so lost...
Don't know what to do...
This has finally cost...
And robbed yourself of you!
You feel so lost...
Don't know what to do...
This has finally cost...
And robbed yourself of you!

chorus 2x

So I won't help you...
So I won't trust you...
So I won't believe you...
Now I'm not in your life...
And now you've lost...

by **Celeone** » Tuesday 16 March 2004 3:22:21pm

Wow! Beautifull songs! I could'nt do it! It would'nt suprise me if I here some of this songs on the radio, some time :grin:

by **Seraphine** » Tuesday 16 March 2004 9:41:33pm

I'm not writing lyrics... Don't know, but even though I tried they were always so... about complaining

Well, they sounded like some of that commercial cr*p: "Why did you live me, darling"-stuff. I'm better in poems. And they sound nice, but in Polish.

Seraphine

by **TDM** » Wednesday 17 March 2004 12:02:56am

heh. if they're on the radio, that'd surprise me, because no one else has read them, really. anyway, here's one:

"REVERSAL"

You're chasing me...
[And now all I want is to escape.]
[I just can't take this for one more day.]
You're trapping me...
[And I feel that I just can't get out.]
[No matter how loud I scream, you can't hear me shout.]
I run away...
[Time and time again, but I always get caught.]
[Over and over again, this battle is fought.]
With you and me...
[But now, I'm the one chasing you.]
[And in this little game, it's your move.]

And now I...
[I reversed everybody's position.]
[We switched up for a major decision.]
[I nailed this strategy with perfect precision.]
[We've completed this gigantic transition.]
And now you...
[You finally can just realize]
[What it takes to plan your demise.]
[You now know I'm sick of all your lies,]
[And how, the truth, you've always disguised.]

You thought you won...
[Long ago, when I wasn't fighting back.]
[But now you can take a look at where we are at.]
It's different now...
[Than it has ever been before.]
[But my rebellion is opening a door]
Of freedom now...
[So maybe finally I can break free.]
[And you, for once, can see the real me.]
This is how it ends...
[With us fighting, and me defeating you.]
[Because I'll win, if it's the last thing I do.]

chorus

And as I become all that I am,
I know everything is not as it seems.
Because I will not let you slam
The door on my dreams...

Chorus 2x

lol.i tried but i can't figure out anything.but i can make some pretty nifty music on rave e-jay

by **Writer** » Saturday 20 March 2004 3:30:09pm

These are soooooooo good! :eek:

TheDragonMaster and Mistress Siana and Meg. Have you put them to music? Are you in a band? Have you got any tips for songwriting? I always find it hard to think of ideas. But your songs here inspired me to try one of my own.
I'm in a band I sometimes try to write songs for the band which are always politely refused

Here's an attempt of mine, the beat is off and the chorus stinks... Also I can't think of a title.

"ALONE"?
"SO THIS IS DYING"?
"SCREWY SONG WITH NO TITLE"?...

I can’t say goodbye
Can’t open my eyes
My one moment of weakness
Would be my demise

So this is dying
So this moment’s my last
I wanted to see you
But it’s going too fast

Chorus
The first thing I do
Completely alone
One moment without you
Forever, on my own

I wanted to touch you
To tell you goodbye
But my one hope to see you
It fades as I die

Chorus

by **TDM** » Sunday 21 March 2004 4:00:29am

wow, Writer, i really liked that song quite a bit. as for a title, perhaps you could do "ALONE", "DYING", or maybe "DYING ALONE". but then again, some songs don't even say their title once in the lyrics. oh well, it's your choice in the end. anyway:

"MY LAST DAY"

[I'm so tired of people being inconsiderate.]
[They get a hold of me, and then they want rid of it.]
[But I'm not an object to be passed about.]
[And I'm just trying to find a way to get out.]
[But you drag me back in, making me feel inferior,]
[And now I'm lashing out from inside my interior.]
[As I'm doing this, I'm tearing myself apart.]
[It feels like all I need to do is let go and restart.]
[I feel like I'm losing myself in this life I call a maze.]
[And now I'm longing more and more for the end of my days...]

You fill my heart with pain.
You fill my mind with fear.
I've got nothing left to gain.
My last day is welcome here.
You make this so unreal.
You make my death so near.
I've got nothing left to feel.
My last day is welcome here.

[You're trapping me repeatedly, and I just can't escape.]
[I've looked at all my options, and there's just no other way.]
[I would do anything to just get away from your wrath.]
[It's too bad for me, that there's only one choice, one path.]
[You're hurting me; causing me pain; I'm so close to the edge,]
[And if you don't stop pushing me, I'll fall off it and be dead.]
[I just wish I could leave this place and finally run away.]
[No one would ever miss me, or the things I have to say.]
[But I guess there is one person who would miss me if I died.]
[It's you, cause you'd miss the things you do that push me to suicide.]

chorus

You say it's my fault...
[That I am how you see...]
You say it's my fault...
[That this is who I turned out to be...]
You say it's my fault...
[That you've closed all my open doors...]
You say it's my fault...
[But it's really yours!]
IT'S YOUR FAULT!
[That I am how you see!]
IT'S YOUR FAULT!
[That this is who I turned out to be!]
IT'S YOUR FAULT!
[That you've closed all my open doors!]
IT'S YOUR FAULT!
[Now we both know it's yours!]

chorus 2x

I've been looking for this thread forever and I just couldn't find it....and here it is so I am happy...

First of all props to DM, Writer, and Mistress Siana for some awesome lyrics...I really liked all of them...

I usually write in response to depressing periods of time, and here is an awfully scary set of lyrics I wrote last year...and then I tweaked them a bit when some particularly sad things happened last month. Don't be too scared (because this one scares me) but I wrote in in the confessional style of poetry which uses dark imagery...well here it goes...

"Waiting"

Here I rot, my insides bleeding for all to see. I cry, I weep, watching you as you stare right through me. Entanglement of salt and blood stains the pavement, burning stares, sweet words, no pain no gain, could this be love?

The sun falsely shines from behind the storm, Gaze upon the rays ignore the rain. Pelts upon the face, Mother Nature’s camouflage to hide the anger, the sadness, the pure frustration, the deep depression upon my skin.

Running to catch you, the pain in my side, I gasp for air. Rob me of my oxygen, tease me with a single breath then suffocate me with your poison CO2…

Carbon sits upon the page, a hundred thoughts, a thousand words. The tear, the tear (tare), never wanting to forfeit all. The words still in the mind never meet the clueless eye.

Wasting away, no pain no gain? Could this be love?

The tears fell hard, the ink ran fast. A smear, and blotch, that’s all remains. Entanglement of salt and ink stains the paper, burning desire, sweet words; no pain no gain…could this be love?

The night is here, and I’m alone. I guess, the wait is over, you’re gone. I stretch, you move, I fall. Blood pours from the wound, stains the pavement, the platform… all is lost. Full of pain, and still no gain.

Cut me up from the inside my heart still pounds; rip it from my bleeding chest. Crack smile as the blood runs down from my dying heart cruel laughter as

Here I rot, my insides bleeding for all to see. I cry, I weep, watching you as you stare right through me. Entanglement of salt and blood stains the pavement, burning stares, sweet words, no pain no gain, could this be love?

Hit and run, left dying on the pavement, the screams of pain bounce off your mind, forgotten for another life to kill. Reeking of denial, you pass me the bloody knife, another suicide note to the world. Blame the victim, another sign of love, I’m sure.

An inch from death, the reaper stops, and the one we once jeered sees your bloody hands, saves me from your cruel intentions, and saves my dying heart. It was never love with you my “darling”.

Or Was It?

The tears are gone, the scars have set,
I stand up tall, yet wince with pain.
Cross my Fingers Hope to die…
The sun will come up tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that I’ll never…

…rot, my insides bleeding for all to see. I stand, I walk, finding more inside of you, right by my side. Entanglement of laughs and tears smoothes the pavement, gentle smiles, sweet words, no pain no gain, could this be love?
