  1. I like it too, very emotional
  2. Thanks a lot guys!
  3. Recently wrote a rap I guess? Haha, its probably horrible, but i've been listening to a ton of Eminem lately and I was in this god awful mood and I just took out like all of my anger in this rap and i'm not entirely sure if I should post it as its fairly profane, not to mention bad lol
  4. Why not? No one's gonna laugh at you or whatever, you can only get two good things: appreciation and/or corrections...
  5. Now that you've posted that I'm curious It would now be worse if you not post it

    And as Sergio said, nothing bad can really happen from it.
  6. Hey everyone! My it's been a long time. You've all posted some great stuff since my last check of the forums! Summer has finally started for me, and I finally do not have 100% of my time consumed by school and extracurriculars. I started off summer with an acoustic performance at a local open mic night, and thought that some of you may like to see what I put out there. I muffed up the lyrics a few times, but whatever.

    "The Meaning of Everything"

    Every day when you warp a mind's eye, expanding the venus' vice
    Wherever you go, there you are, ready to let it go

    Cursing a demon, or kissing your diva, it's always the same smile
    You're sitting there drowning, in tears from the dawning, feeling the sun like rain

    The shackles on your soul, that's keeping you anchored, will never make you whole
    The people passing by, stare through your shuteye, you can't help but look away

    And I know you hold the secret
    And I know why it remains
    You say "I have many answers"
    And "I play many games
    But if I gave to you the logic
    There would be power left to gain"

    Don't you get tired of scoping out the meaning of everything?
    How do you keep all of your control when balance is hollow ground?

    Who'll put out the limelight? What'll happen to my might? Why can't I hold answers?
    I'm tired of asking, and never casting, a light upon the head of truth

    Everything's alright, so go start a street fight, whatever keeps demons at bay
    Like motifs and theme songs, or polyester thongs, they'll only bring you so far

    And I know what you are seeking
    And I know that it is tough
    You have tried so many theories
    But you have had so little trust
    And do you care about the power?
    A wizard with no control

    Don't you get tired of scoping out the meaning of everything?
    How do you keep all of your control when balance is hollow ground?

    (You can tell by my voice that this was the first song that I played)



    (I dropped the pic, and the crowd thought that I was done lmao)

    "Battle"

    Every secret that you choose to tell
    Every whisper that becomes a yell
    Every prayer going straight to hell

    It's alright
    Alright

    Are you the winner that you're supposed to be?
    Have you been programmed so perfectly?
    Does the perfection come naturally?

    It's alright
    Alright

    The battle has just begun, but I feel the toll
    Is it what you feel too?
    The end is always in sight, it's where you put up the fight
    To what is breaking your virtues

    Where is the difference between you and I?
    Could you highlight the clearest divide?
    Are my instincts a truth or a lie?

    The world is turning is your mind still numb?
    Show me progress and who you've become
    Or how your prospects are your only freedom

    Wherever there's a broken bottle
    The reason is in the past
    Wherever there's a bloody battle
    You cannot ever see the next
    It's like the circle of life, just let it explain
    Why in the end it's living that kills you

    It's alright
    Alright

    The battle has just begun, but I feel the toll
    Is it what you feel too?
    The end is always in sight, it's where you put up the fight
    To what is breaking your virtues



    "Martyr of Bliss"

    Who's calling my name? And what is it for?
    Who's playing the game? We've played it before
    Hearts stay inflamed when hate has a name
    Vision of peace, dove of accord
    Never be tamed, never vacate
    (Winds of bliss)
    (Winds of bliss)

    What is peace without confliction?
    What is right without conviction?
    (Winds of bliss)
    (Winds of bliss)

    It's time for the storm
    The fire that's in your soul
    The fire that's out of control
    It's time for the storm

    I will believe all of your lies
    Just as long as you believe mine
    Martyr for war, besought for your vice
    Writing your own legacy's score
    (Winds of bliss)
    (Winds of bliss)

    Where there shall be peace, there shall be stride
    Who dares to dream, shall dare to reign
    (Winds of bliss)
    (Winds of bliss)

    The fire that's at your core
    I wish I'd feel the burn
    But you have all control
    I can't feel your burn

    It's time for the storm
    The fire that's in your soul
    The fire that's out of control
    It's time for the storm



    I can't wait to get back to writing this summer, and I can't wait to see what you all put forward next.
  7. BATTLE
  8. Hmm, I gotta find some of my lyrics that are lying around the house and polish them up a bit and see if I can finish something...
  9. What do you think of this lyric? Worth finishing a song with music and everything with?

    I'm here in the coldest of winters
    waiting for some light and warmth
    to come through the dark night
    I'm freezing in the night

    I need someone to bring some light
    I need somebody to give me warmth
    There's just one sun in our lives
    be my ray of light, sunlight

    I'm stuck here in a land of oblivion
    I'm trying not to remember
    what's on the other side of that wall
    Trying to forget the light...

    The clouds are darkening
    cold snow is gonna fall
    It's gonna get colder
    I'm freezing in the night

    I need someone to bring some light
    I need somebody to give me warmth
    There's just one sun in our lives
    be my ray of light, sunlight

    I'm lying chained to the ground
    My face pressed against cold ice
    Is there an ocean to drown in underneath?
    Is that the only or the easy way out?

    Baby your light it blinded my eyes
    When I couldn't see you led me here
    I don't know the way out
    I'm just freezing in the night

    I need someone to bring some light
    I need somebody to give me warmth
    There's just one sun in our lives
    be my ray of light, sunlight

    The winds are changing
    I can see a ray of light
    feel it on my face
    Is this a trick or a treat?

    I need someone to bring some light
    I need somebody to give me warmth
    There's just one sun in our lives
    be my ray of light, sunlight

    I'll be saved


  10. Wait until you hear the "Please" snippet that I'll throw in at the next performance. And thanks Sergio!



    I like it, the only thing that I personally would change is the change in direction. It seems to me that you waited quite a bit to change the mood "I can see the light, etc." and once you did, it only lasted for a few lines. If it were me, I would expand upon that part / cut out a part or two on the darker side. But cool stuff.

  11. Man........ Believe it or not, while I was watching it, I thought that it could wear a Please or even Like A Song snippets very easily... OMG

    The others that I had tried out as snippets were Sunday Bloody Sunday and If You Wear That Velvet Dress. But Velvet Dress lyrically wouldn't fit, and I decided that I would leave out all snippets for that performance as it was the first one for the songs. I'll more than likely be throwing in a Please or Sunday snippets soon though.
