Yesterday, I was thinking about the as yet unreleased songs from the MX Era and was inspired to write lyrics to Tomorrow.

Here they are:

 

Tomorrow

 

Tomorrow, we'll fly away

In the burning sunlight at the break of day

Tomorrow, you'll see us fly

Over the hills into the endless sky

 

But we always say,

The sun will rise tomorrow

And bring a new day

 

Tomorrow, you'll see us go

Away into the sunlight's glow

Tomorrow, in the snow

Where are we now tell me do you know?

 

But we always say,

The sun will rise tomorrow

And bring a new day

 

Tomorrow, they'll wonder why

The two of us flew to the sky

Tomorrow, back home we'll fly

Nevermore to say goodbye

 

But we always say,

The sun will rise tomorrow

And bring a new day

 

But we always say,

The sun will rise tomorrow

And bring a new day

 

If they're terrible, please don't be too harsh, as this is my first time writing song lyrics.

I must say they sound really very Coldplayish, well done:D

Thanks!

Yeah, they sound really Coldplayish. :) But they're pretty good for the first time. ;)

I really really really like the first verse! :D

Much better than the first song I ever wrote, and to echo, yes very Coldplay.

 

...If you want to improve as a songwriter though, the best piece of advice I was ever given is that concrete images are the key to writing. Concrete images that you imagine in your head, something different that makes you think. A good example of this would be in The Smiths' Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before, where Morrissey claims "And the pain was enough to make a shy bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass-murder". Of course, not all lyrics are that graphic, and something like "I've got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chair" also gives a nice picture.

 

Not a criticism of your piece, just a little advice I picked up! :P

Thanks! I never understood how you fight with your side under a chair, though. That sounds painful. And like you would lose very fast. Great lyric though.

I think it's metaphorical but just the idea of Chris swordfighting under a chair makes me laugh.

The idea of anyone swordfighting under a chair makes me laugh.

They do sound very Coldplayish! Even more freaky - they sound like Mylo Xyloto era lyrics!! Very well done they are very good!

Thanks!

 

You're very welcome!

Surprisingly, those lyrics aren't actually shit. They're much better than Paradise at least. Not a bad effort, definitely sounds like something from the MX era.

Those lyrics are really good.

I love thoses lyrics!

 

If you do anymore lyrics it would be cool if you included references to other songs like Coldplay do on the album. Just an idea.:)

They're really good!

Sounds soo authentic :D

Honestly, the rhymes are a bit too repetitive and obvious for me... but I think they do sound like coldplay. You did a good job keeping the thesis of the song in focus... As for the comment on making lyrics with concrete imagery or whatever... I think lyrics are much better with some guessing/interpretation involved... i.e. dylan.

So basically you are saying Coldplay's lyrics/ryhmes are repetitive and obvious?
