wrote this today at work

SOMETHING

LONELY PLACE
SURROUNDED BY EMPTY AIR
IM SITTING HERE ON THE DUST OF MY ONCE LOST LIFE
I CANT HELP IT BUT TO THINK IM ALONE
WAITING FOR SOMEONE
WAITING FOR SOMETHING
I WISH I COULD SPEED UP THE TIME
TO SEE WHAT COMES AHEAD
BUT ALL I CAN DO IS WAIT

AND THESE LIGHTS THAT SHOULD LIGHT MY WAY
THEY DONT SEEM TO SHINE NOMORE
THEY DONT SEEM TO LIGHT
MY WAY LIKE THEY USED TO

SO SUGAR JUST WAIT FOR ME
IM TRYING TO FIX MYSELF
IM TRYING TO BE MYSELF
AND WHEN I FIND THE RIGHT PATH
MAYBE THEN U CAN APPEAR AND SAVE ME

BUT I TOLD ONCE
AND I TOLD TWICE
THAT EVERYONE NEEDS THEIR TIME
THAT EVERYONE NEEDS THEIR SPACE
THAT EVENTUALLY EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT

SO I SHED ONE TEAR
SHED TWO TEARS
AND AS THEY FALL ON THE FLOOR
THEY DONT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR
INSTEAD A SEA OF TEARS IS MADE
AND IN IT I WILL DROWN
WAITING FOR U TO SAVE ME

BUT IN THE END
U NEVER REALLY CAME
AND SO I DROWN
IN A SEA OF MY OWN TEARS

DONT U KNOW THAT ALL I REALLY WANTED
WAS SOMETHING SO UNIQUE
WAS SOMETHING SO FRAGILE
WAS SOMETHING SO CRYSTAL AND PURE
SOMETHING CALLED LOVE

Let the Music Play

Let the music play
Let it chase the demons away
Brighten up the gray
As your fingers strum, pick, and become fray
Every string has something to say
About the story of the day
Let the world hear the footsteps of your soul along the way
Let the music play



Let's see another one of yours Aava.?

[Aava]

Uncertain

Whose main hobby is being cold
It?s getting out of fashion and old
Does that include your good self

You do well good though
Better than me

It is only because of me
And all the things you can?t see
Was that all because of you

Uncertain is the word I love
But only a word

[journey]

Uncertain is beautiful Aava.

Well done. 

[Aava]

Thanks.

I liked yours aswell. Nice rhyme! 

[just_one]

another one by me

A MILLION YEARS AGO

YESTERDAY WAS RAINING
THE VERY SAME RAIN THAT WAS FALLING
ON THAT LAST NIGHT I SAW U
EVERYTHING SEEMED SO RIGHT FOR SO LONG
NOW ALL THAT JUST SEEMES LIKE IT HAPPENED A MILLION YEARS AGO

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES ARE JUST A PILE OF ASHES NOW
THE WHITE SAND OF OUR FAVOURITE BEACH AS TURNED TO BLACK
AND THE BLUE SEA TURNED TO RED
THERE ARE NO MORE STARS ON THE SKY AND THE MOON IS GONE
AND I WALK INTO THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE JUST TRYING TO FIND
WHAT I LOST A MILLION YEARS AGO

DEAD WORDS ARE THE ONLY WORDS
THAT ARE ABLE TO WALK OUT OF THIS EMPTY SOUL
I BATTLE AGAINST THE WIND
I WANNA STAY GROUNDED BUT HE?S MAKING ME FLY AND DREAM

A MILLION YEARS AGO I HAD U
A MILLION YEARS AGO I LOVED U
AND A MILLION YEARS AGO ALL THIS COULD MAKE SENSE

AND NOW AT THE DAWNING OF ANOTHER SUNRISE
I?M STILL LOOKING AT THE UNKNOWN
IF THIS IS THE LAST TIME I DO THIS
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE U ONE MORE TIME

FUTURE IS THERE FOR ME TO GRAB
I CANT FIND U ANYWHERE
I SPOKE TO GOD THIS NIGHT
AND TOLD HIM THAT I COULDNT FIND U ANYWHERE
AND ALL I GOT WAS SILENCE
MAYBE GOODBYE?S ARENT THE ANSWER
SO IN TOP OF THIS SUNRISE I STAND
LOOKING AT THE HORIZON
AND LOOKING FOR WHATS NEXT
ON WHAT WILL FROM NOW ON APPEAR ....

A MILLION YEARS AGO I KISSED U
A MILLION YEARS AGO I LOVED U
A MILLION YEARS AGO THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT
A MILLION YEARS AGO...NOT NOW

[Vegar]

OK, this is an old romantic mess  , and I really can not write English, so pleased do not judge me that hard!   

 At nights, with a clear blue sky,
 I see stars, shining brighter than all.
 But at times, when I do cry,
 I see those stars, starting to fall
On the cold, and rainy days,
Through storms, without no sight,
 I dream of a warm, and beautiful face,
 I see you, you?re shining bright

[Aava]

"Birds Are Back, I Guess"

The weird jackdaw flew over the rooftops
It was yesterday or friday, I guess
The creepy dark bird
with a rude voice and cold eyes

It made me shudder and shiver
Those damn birds are back
So charming and incredibly disturbing

The jackdaw nicked a red burning ciggy
It was still smoking, I guess
A glowing ciggy on the street
Lying right next to a dirty puddle

It made me shudder and shiver
Those damn birds are back
So charming and incredibly disturbing

I saw how the weird jackdaw disappeared
It was going to the west, I guess
Somewhere over the rooftops
Disappearing inside the dusty city

[journey]

"Birds Are Back, I Guess"

I really like that one! It's so cool. The rhyme scheme is very clever. I also like the way it ties together. It reads like a song.

[Aava]

Thank you very much!

Its been a while since I posted lyrics I wrote.? I have two songs that I like at the moment.? My lyric style has changed alot since before.? I used to write very literally, but I never really liked it.? Now, my lyrics are alot more personal but at the same time they are very cryptic.? So here goes!?
First song: Lust.? Lost. --->> Its about a boy and girl who hooked up at a party, they were having fun but afterwards they regretted it.? Not because they didnt like eachother, but because his ex (whom he still loved) went phsyco and he felt like he lost all hope.? ?There are a few other little phrases in there which have personal meaning.

Lust.? Lost.

There are only so many times I can look at your face
But pretty soon all meaning will be lost
I?d hate to be in your eyes behind all this
If I started to add it up Im sure we would never see the true cost.
Coz right now your eyes have been taken hostage,
Kidnapped with your heart

And this has been thought over and over
Im pretty sure it?s imprinted in your mind
The faces all look the same
You can?t find the difference between what we?ve done
And what we are about to receive

Your number?s unlisted
Why won?t you listen?
You barely just missed it
I want to take back my name.
Lust.? Lost.? Lust, lost.

Between the fretting black and the red pearls
Lacing the necks of heated lovers
I wanted to write your lips a letter
Pressing against my skin,
Smelling of cheap, hot anger and darkness.

Staring at the girl in the black,
This boy likes her poison as she feeds him
Embraced in the night
Unclasping Bras on centre stage
Youths descend upon regret in their fight for each other.

Your number?s unlisted
Why won?t you listen?
You barely just missed it
I want to take back my name.
Lust.? Lost.? Lust, lost.

The morning brings no more love than hate
The third jigsaw cuts the tendons.
He bows to the oppression of the heart
She?s left not wondering about the things she wished
Within this lust of removing the objects.

Scratches on the wrist feel strange
When put in that point of view
Drinking poison has never brought such despair
Want to wake up sleeping with regret?
You haven?t loved her since she left the fragments

Your number?s unlisted
Why won?t you listen?
You barely just missed it
I want to take back my name.
Lust.? Lost.? Lust, lost.

Remind her of the things you said before and after act one
It?s a big show, only hate stands within your sales pitch.
Lust lost.? Lust lost.

[Queen of Everything]

This is another song, Called (Lost in the words of) The Black Haired Boy.

Its about a girl who went somewhere and met a boy. ?They clicked and then they spoke on the phone alot after she left. ?She found herself falling for him, and he the same. ?She is constantly thinking about him, but also she knows she cannot ever be with him because he lives ages away. ?She is unsure if shes falling for 'him' or just the 'idea of him.' ?Because she will never fully know him. ?Also, this is cryptic and there are little phrases and words (in the beginning) which have another meaning. ?

(Lost in the Words of) The Black Haired Boy

Hearts collide.
Falling.
Black.
Statues.
Posing.
Stockings.
Hot skin.
Deep breaths now.
Deep breaths now.
Deep? breaths?.

I've heard that you should always wrap your arms around the people that you love,
Well you?ve helped me to once again embrace myself.
No longer feeling the need to compete against my mind
I don?t need to sleep with the fear of what I see
Reflection is bent,
Words of a black haired boy made my vision curve.

I love how you, You never get lost in the stampede
There aren?t the people, desperate, in need.
Take the lead.
Does that make it better?

Memory falls on blinded eyes,
Eyeliner tracing the vision of the boy with the mind
Oh my, his mind does wander.
On thighs, this makes me think,
Are you unlike all the others?
or hauntingly the same?

I love how you, you never get lost in the stampede
There aren?t the people, desperate, in need.
Take the lead.
Does that make it better?

I am feeling I have to leave this town behind.
Silently, I?ll be walking away
Away, away, one last time.
Its come to the point where caring seems to not be enough
But then I try to think about what?s best for myself,
even if that means leaving you behind
Since when did you become the voice within my head?

I love how you, You never get lost in the stampede
There aren?t the people, desperate, in need.
Take the lead.
Does that make it better?

I love how you, you will never ever, never ever
You will never get lost in the stampede
There aren?t the people, desperate, in need.
Take the lead.
Does that make it better?

What on earth will make it better?
I like the fact I left. ?Im not coming back,
Unless I see the boy.
The boy who loves the boys,
The boys with black hair.

Deep breaths now.
Deep breaths now.
Deep? breaths?.

Hey guys i need some help... iv just joined a band with a few people i know from school..... and I am lead singer..... We are all only 16 and 17 but they all play and are still learning instruments and are all putting in a huge effort.... and so of course i feel i should also contribute some thing extra.... so i have started writing some lyrics and songs.... but I am not very good at it....
Is there any system to writing songs.... what is the best way to approach writing.... This is new to me so maybe it just takes time.... But i think i do need some pointers on how to get going..... I cant seem to get my head around it! I would really appriaciate anyone willing to help..

[loretian]

I'll post the song version of this soon....

All The Little Things
---------------------------

I'm so glad to be alive
I can tell you just why
I found a new song
and I sing it all day long
It's an amazing little thing
Sing exactly what you mean
You don't need to cry

Heartbreak stories full of glories
haunt me when I sleep
daybreak's gone with lonely song
these memories I keep
Narrowed visions, sacred prisons
overcome my thoughts
Much remains I used to claim
But solitude I've sought

I'm so glad to be alive
I can tell you just why
I found a new song
and I sing it all day long
It's an amazing little thing
Sing exactly what you mean
You don't need to cry

Bloodied wakes and wedding cakes
the sunshine always brings the rain
Got run over, still not sober
But still I'm not to blame
The ceremony seems so phony
Who am I to say
The ancient fog moves the clogs
But I ain't got a better way

I'm so glad to be alive
I can tell you just why
I found a new song
and I sing it all day long
It's an amazing little thing
Sing exactly what you mean
You don't need to cry

<guitar solo + trip out>

All the little things
keep me on the ground
when I'm stuck inside the darkness
the eternal light is found

I'm so glad to be alive
I can tell you just why
I found a new song
and I sing it all day long
It's an amazing little thing
Sing exactly what you mean
You don't need to cry

Shallowed seers and joyful tears
the springtime comes so soon
Forgotten causes gives me pauses
They took so long to bloom
Now turn the page and forget the sage
A welcome heart stands still
The forward path moves so fast
and appreciate I will

I'm so glad to be alive
I can tell you just why
I found a new song
and I sing it all day long
It's an amazing little thing
Sing exactly what you mean
You don't need to cry

Lyrics and melodies are usually easier to create. There's no real system to it, other than coming up with a rhyme scheme to give the song a nice flow. As for subject matter, just write what's on your mind or think back to experiences you've had.

This is a new song I wrote.? I'm wrapping up the song right now, hopefully I'll post it in the next day or two.

Before

No, no
No, no

In an empty room, I got a radio set
A vacant dream, with no regrets
You turned the tide, I swam to shore
Now let's turn up the volume, let the music outpour

Let the waves carry me home
Yeah, I'll lie on the beach, all alone

It don't really matter
Cause I already been here
It don't really matter
Cause I heard you before
It don't really matter
Cause I already knew you
Before
You knew me

As time goes by
The years seem shorter
and the time that we shared
Spared no room for no quarter
No time to reflect
All times self-assured
A perfect mistake
Yeah, no other preferred
I'll change the hands
on my radio dial
Yeah, and sit around
to retune for awhile

Radio waves carry me home
I'll lie on my couch and ignore the telephone

It don't really matter
Cause I already been here
It don't really matter
Cause I heard you before
It don't really matter
Cause I already knew you
Before
You knew me

<guitar solo>

It don't really matter
Cause I already been here
It don't really matter
Cause I heard you before
It don't really matter
Cause I already knew you
Before
You knew me

You take the time to wonder
I'll take the time to pray
We'll spend the time alone
Until the memory fades away
It surely was so sweet
It surely was so true
It surely was a horrible thing
To be done to me and you

<rapping>
So crack the time, watch the stars align
You grab your gun cause I got mine
Now pick up your ammo
and pick up your pace
We're short on time and we got memories to waste

<singing>
I tuned my dial to a talk station
Let the music take vacation
No matter where I turn, no matter what I hear
The melody comes through, I need somebody near

Mental waves carry me home
I'll lie in my bed, until I get home

It don't really matter
Cause I already been here
It don't really matter
Cause I heard you before
It don't really matter
Cause I already knew you
Before
You knew me

It don't really matter
Cause I already been here
It don't really matter
Cause I heard you before
It don't really matter
Cause I already knew you
Before
You knew me

<outro w/ guitar solo>

I would tell you everything
That I want to say
But it don't really matter
Cause these dreams
Won't come true
anyway
