Jarrad Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hi everyone, not sure if you will be interested, but I'd love to read things people have written, it could be about anything.. I hope I've created this thread in the right spot lol.. here's one that I wrote, I'd love to hear anything you guys have written. As I sit here wondering where it all went wrong, I can’t help but feel there’s nowhere I belong. At times you seem alien as if speaking in tongue, I wait for the day where the truth is sung. Days of blissful ignorance when I was young, Are now no more than a memory, as I face the next rung, This mighty ladder it seems has no end, But upwards I feel I must transcend. The top bears gifts greater than silver and gold, For the liberation of the mind cannot be sold. The puzzle is fragmented like the love of humankind, It’s hard to see the picture when you’re nothing short of blind. What would it take to heal all these people? So they connect together like a flower and sepal? No truer words have been spoken under the sun, Than the answer to it all, that we are all simply one...

Kingzilla Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've written a bunch of songs, but the one dearest to me is a song I wrote when I dog passed away. Maybe the context is corny, but I get emotional when performing it. "Carry You" And when your eyes full of life Became eyes that were lifeless I cried more than an angel falling It was my life just stalling Yeah, I know life doesn’t turn around But I’d hate for something like a rebound To take my frightened state away I deserve to be scared about life without you I knew you since the pregnancy was due And I’ve always loved you, even if I tortured you Even if, now, you make me so blue I want you to chase it into heaven Even if makes me even more frightened I’ll carry you there, I swear I’ll carry you there, I swear I’ll kiss you away before you are taken I’ll kiss you goodbye if you are taken Something I believe is right, is just so wrong To see a life in a body Run away, and then a lifeless body I tried not to cry for everybody And then, waterfalls for everybody Turn around, no don’t do it If everyone turned on you, you wouldn’t like it This is it, this is the end For you my friend, I loved you to the end I want you to chase it into heaven Even if makes me even more frightened I’ll carry you there, I swear I’ll carry you there, I swear I’ll kiss you away before you are taken I’ll kiss you goodbye if you are taken And your white old eyes see nothing anymore What does life mean to you anymore? And they show me to the door Just before they took my heart and tore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrad Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 That's a very sad and heartfelt song. You obviously really loved your dog, I've got a lot of respect for that. In my opinion, you did a very good job lyrically too. keep up the good work! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingzilla Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I wrote it a year ago, so lyrically, it's pretty simple. But its really heartfelt. I'll probably post some of my other stuff sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayrn43 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I can't write poems / songs at all lol. That was simple (in a good way) and heartfelt for sure! And very touching tbh. Keep up the great work man! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingzilla Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Here's one more I'll share since I have it available on my laptop. It's a bit different, but its supposed to be abstract so yeah. Those are two I actually perform, plus one other but I don't have that one on me so yeah. "Soldier Boy and a Little Girl" You cut me down And left me all around the room Let’s assume you gotta move it So prove it So let me go Alone, in a place of stone Set it up And hold yourself down Hold onto to the ground Hey, how are ya dear Do you have the cure For a broken heart C’mon, take me apart Hey, control yourself Don’t ever let go Do you hear the echo Rectified, and then stolen Breathing heavy Holding it steady Because I’m ready for whatever you need But baby, you’re too hard to please Ruled you, getting down Took you from the floor To the moon, so don’t assume I gotcha now When I let ya down Hold on to the ceiling Hey, how are ya dear Do you have the cure For a broken heart C’mon, take me apart Hey, control yourself Don’t ever let go Do you hear the echo Rectified, and then stolen Soldier boy A little girl A pond of empathy A world of mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrad Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 here's one I wrote a while ago, let me know what you think.. Insanity thrives in a world designed by order, We are connected by a web yet separated by a border. A species which builds nations by the architecture of the hand, Have fallen much shorter of the grandiose plan. Sin and hate fill a land of light and beauty, Corruption breeds war and we stand aside, neglect of duty. We have come so far, but in many ways stayed the same. In this world of calamity and fame, who in this mess is to blame? Was it Adam who took that ever so crucial bite of an apple, That triggered a series of events that would lead some to a chapel? It seems as though in a world full of so much confusion, We are yet to get answers and finally have a conclusion. Even so, and given all this, the feeling of an end is in sight, And maybe one day soon this world of darkness will be bright. Freedom is what's at stake, and each person deserves to know what it is to be. As someone famous once said, "the truth shall set you free" All this aside, these are just the thoughts of me.

ghoststory Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Man, that's beautiful. Both of your poems I've thoroughly enjoyed and normally I don't like poems. Seriously they're awesome! And i find myself thinking many of the same thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakexy1125 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I try my hand at writing songs but it's really the beginning stages to be honest so here we go! "Were getting lost in space feel like weve got no place Me and you were floating through floating through the galaxy Warning lights go off saying Houston we've got a problem because im still falling falling for you Going through orbit landing on mars I still feel so far Still feel so far from you..." This is my first "Song" I wrote. It's still at the very beginning my next is my second one "Sitting across the bench thats when our eyes meet thats when my heart beats Sitting across the room It feels like just me and you This place is empty When your all I see When your in my head my heart moves fast when your in my reach My lips freeze" They are pretty shit but it's just being able to have something makes me feel happy, I still need to think of some chords or something but its a start!

Jarrad Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 thanks man, glad you enjoyed them. I felt like I needed to share them somewhere and figured this is as good as a place as any lol. here's one more I wrote.. "DREAMS" Life’s a dream made manifest in the mind, Movies produced and directed, perfectly timed, Dreaming within a dream did I indeed find, That reality and truth, hasn’t always shined. This dream I was in was full of delusions, A prison of my own doing, full of illusions, One term for the experience could be psychosis, Where it would lead me, was questioning osmosis. Like Daniel in a lion’s den was I thrown, For what seemed to me, something to be shown, This place of disgrace showed in this one man’s face, That could only be defeated by speaking with grace. What’s truly real except what we believe? Do our senses tell truth or in fact deceive? Everything you perceive is inside your head, From when you’re awake at day, to asleep in bed. We all have our own dreams and make our reality, Question our existence and our own mortality, The truth is a weapon when people gain morality, This illusory dream creates a separatist mentality. We are dreams inside a dream, the observer being observed, We are beings created with the purpose of life being conserved, Awaken in the dream; the truth sets you free, If we all manage to, heaven is where you’ll be. It's basically about my experience in a psychiatric hospital and the "dream" like state of psychosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrad Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 lol yeah that's understandable, it's an awesome song. I love the lines "Oh morning come bursting the clouds amen, Lift off this blindfold let me see again." and "The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties, the devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes, and I just want to be there when the lightening strikes, and the saints go marching in." such good lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingzilla Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Any tips for a new writer? For songs, I like to think about the song's big picture. What message is it trying to say. But I also want to tell a story as well. The hard part is balancing the two together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zweb Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Here's a poem I wrote. "You got time" I could say a word and a rhyme, I could shoot a tequila with lime, I could buckle down and tell myself everything's fine, I could give up my values, bend a knee and climb. So many options ahead I see myself flying! But they were lying Everything is not fine I have no time. Sorry it's not very optimistic (just how I was feeling at the time).

Jarrad Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I agree with that ^ and as Chris noted, some of his songs were written in 10 minutes. It's just about finding the right inspiration and channelling it through yourself onto paper. If you find yourself in a particularly inspired mood, or feeling heavy emotionally, I find that's the best time to write.I'm no professional though, so that's really all the advice I've got, I'm afraid. Good luck ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrad Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 you're right, it's not very optimistic, I sure hope you don't feel that way now. None the less, It's still a great poem. I envisioned a struggle to better oneself and advance in life, but you felt as though time was running out and "time is not on your side", contrary to Chris' lyrics lol.. I hope these days you are flying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
