1. Here is what I think is my best song in english and i started writing it after i read someone´s post here about how there would be no stars if there wasnt darkness or soething like that and i started scribbling. Thanx guys haha... well, here it is:

    Sunset Star

    I´m running away from the darkness to see the day
    Turning their backs to life and running away
    Inside these four walls all you see is your own pain
    Hear birds singing and see the sun once again

    Without darkness the stars wouldn´t shine
    Without the day there would be no light
    In every heart there´s a child that cries for love

    I won´t lose myself again
    I won´t lose myself again
    I won´t lose myself again
    Oh no

    The night is long but the day runs too short
    I see the birds flying way up to the north
    I´m at the edge of the universe, I won´t come down
    Talking to myself, holding on not to drown, oh

    I can´t stop myself even when I try
    I know that I can´t but I won´t cry
    One day I wll grow wings to fly and go away

    I won´t lose myself again
    I won´t lose myself again
    I won´t lose myself again
    Oh no

    I don´t need any of this
    I am begging you please
    God, I just want to live
    I regret my thoughts

    Trapped under ice I can´t breathe
    I lost the faith I once had in me
    That´s what I had, that´s what I need, need

    I won´t lose myself again
    I won´t lose myself again
    I won´t lose myself again
    No I won´t, oh
    I won´t lose myself again
    I won´t lose myself again
    I won´t lose myself again
    Oh no
  2. Ok, I'll transcribe one of the Ebglish songs I wrote some time ago. And also the one with the nice lyricsl coincidence with Alex


  3. Again, this is fine work. They sound quite Bono-ey, yet still fresh and new. It would work really well with some type of video as well.

    [song]



    This is some great work! They sound very very Boy/Octoberish It also reminds me of some of my work as well, making the author's religion seem kind of awkward.
  4. Good stuff guys, you people flush out great lyrics here so often it makes me embarassed to call myself a song writer!

    yeah that wasn't the entire song at all, you were right in saying that it was just a sketch, and it has helped start the rest of the song for me. The music is down for the most part, done by my band, i'd rather wait to show you guys a proper demo of us playing the finished product befre I post a demo, but thanks anyway!

    I'll be sure to post the finished lyric once it's done,

    Alex

    P.S that's so weird about that sunset lyric!!! Great minds DO think alike
  5. I haven't written poetry (willingly) in a long time, possibly ever lol. So, this is my first (willing) attempt at it:

    What Is A Star Without Its Darkness?

    What is a star without its darkness?
    What is hope without its blindness?
    What is a cure without a disease?
    What is space without boundaries?

    What is a story without its strife?
    What is a soul constricted of life?

    What is time without a constriction?
    What is wrong without perfection?
    What is peace without confliction?
    What is right without conviction?

    Time is old and time is new
    Time will always redefine you
    Transcending, mending and always ascending
    Time will always be with you

    What is a star without its darkness?
    What is a mind when it is dreamless?
    What is a nexus that leaves you restless?
    What is a soul when it is sinless?

    What is extreme without the balance?
    What is corruption without ordinance?

    What is a mind without a dream?
    What is an artist without a scheme?
    What is pain without a scream?
    What is an id without esteem?

    Time is old and time is new
    Time will always redefine you
    Transcending, mending and always ascending
    Time will always be with you



    This should be a great jumping point for a song. I really want to do something musical with the "What is a star without its darkness?" line.
  6. Unreal man, some of the things you have in there are really really good. I also wrote a poem a while back, different than song writing, WAY different (to me anyway) but it was fun. Here's mine:

    King Of Chaos

    Opening the sky causing only wrath to pour out
    The god of all ascension drives wetlands to droubt
    Tear open the wind, ripping matter itself
    Cause disturbance and mayhem in the universe throughout
    For who can decide what's done and what needs be?
    Only the king himself, the king of chaos, you see

    Time is running out, he would ponder out loud
    So why not stop time? who says it's not allowed?
    So on he went causing ideals to shatter
    The idea of peace that is, for what else matters?
    With no one to stop him, and no being to name
    The world would progress, using him to blame
    But the world as it is cannot be one man's fault
    After all it wasn't one man who caused evolution to halt
    You can call it nature, or you could call it fate
    But we all find a person to claim all our hate

    This planet isn't prepared for its awaited doom
    Caused by the king himself, the king of chaos we use
    Whether it's nuclear bombs he assembles in his basement
    Or to speed up the sun, causing the Earth's displacement
    Whatever it be, at least we have someone to kill
    To make us feel better like a pain-killing pill
    But in the end, the king, this wasn't done by his hand
    Be realistic now, the one to blame here is man
  7. both poems are amazing! so many talented people here, if B man ever needs inspiration lol....

    Nick, just wandering, why do you think the song i wrote makes teh reader kind of feel akward about it´s religion? cause, well, my theme was confusion within a religion and that no person is only good or only bad and that we just need to be nice becuse we r people u know... i thought ur take on it was nice and different... i wanted to know more

    Dude. That is one of the best poems that I've ever read. Seriously, that's at least just as good as the ones in my English text books. "So why not stop time? who says it's not allowed?" that's brilliant! (I've bolded my favorite lines)

    Hey thanks a lot man!!! Seriously a huge compliment. This was one of those things that took about 20 minutes to write, just flowed naturally, I think those are the best poems and songs, at least they usually turn out to be, thanks again! You already know I love your work insanely, so nothing needs to be said.

    (I eagerly await your next work)

    That's the most "religious" part of the poem, and it is saying that the author has sort of turned away from it before, and now wants to rejoin the club in a sense. Obviously, the author does not want to be in that distressed state, but there really isn't another option. Like it's forced upon the author. I mainly used "awkward" to describe the unsure feeling about religion that the author has.

    That's the best part about writing... everyone can take it anyway. Half of the job is done by the audience.

    No problem. Those are always the best works, the ones that don't take a lot of time or effort. I usually scrap or re-write anything that seems to take a lot of time, and I usually give up on a piece of work if it's requiring too much thought; as I've learned that it's just not the way to go about writing (for me at least). Thanks!

    As do I good sir.
