Dont know if this is the right place for this, apologies in advance.

 

Anyway, I wanted to create a place where people who like to write their own lyrics can share their lyrics for feedback and/or help. Anyone up for this?

 

Lol. You sure this thread wasn't created for me so I contain my musings to one thread?

This is so brilliant! :happy: :loveshower:

Excellent idea Gerben!

Thank you :kiss

I have written many lyrics in the past, but mostly kind of personal :P

 

Here's one of them:

 

i remembered the time when you walked away

i asked you to stay, but you denied it anyway

we were so young and spoiled, we didn't have a choice

a choice to be together but now it's all disappeared

 

i remembered the time when you said hello

i thought i was about to go with my alter ego

i knew i made mistakes by the time you walked away

didn't know what was gonna happen but would see it anyway

 

and it's like living in a stone

where you and me were stuck and could not go anywhere

you see that love is blind

while there was a second chance for us, even though we broke up promises

and it's time for me to move on cause you were my past

 

i remembered the time when you walked away

i asked you to stay, but you denied it anyway

i knew i made mistakes by the time you walked away

didn't know what was gonna happen but would see it anyway

 

:P

 

Its poorly written I know. There's a story behind it for sure, but I think you can tell :P

This one as well :P:

 

I have been there so many times

Been through all the pain, been thru ups and downs

But chances are always there

Cause I know that i will have this amount of time

It's not easy to give in, but easy to give up

And I've failed so many times

But I guess it's just those times I felt there was no chance to live like…

 

 

Cause I have been on been on been on the way I feel like when I

Give up give up give up and not to try again

Times have been gone been gone been gone

I don't care no more

Cause I know the way I am, I know the way I am

 

 

I see those skies above and then

Those shining stars at night with the moon alive

Don't wanna see my past again

It feels like a hurricane in the darkest night

It's not easy to give in, but easy to give up

And I've failed so many times

But I know I believe I can, unlike when there was no chance to live like…

 

 

Cause I have been on been on been on the way I feel like when I

Give up give up give up and not to try again

Times have been gone been gone been gone

I don't care no more

Cause I know the way I am, I know the way I am

 

 

While people are busy to say "get the hell out of me"

And I say "wait, I have my own"

Just believe in yourself and learn how to live

Be better and not to cry

Sometimes you just need a break from all those mysteries that you haven't found

So believe in your dreams and then pray to God and say "I need You always"

I saw you in my dreams, you were holding me

I never want to wake, no I'm never gonna wake

 

I looked away but I caught my own reflection,

The light from your eyes, I'm gonna fly in your eyes.

 

There is always a silver lining

In every cloud, yeah for every cloud

There is always a magical key

for every lock, yeah for every lock

 

I saw the King he knows my name,

I'm not gonna run, no I'm never gonna run.

 

I watched him bravely put on his Crown,

With warriors in light, yeah his surrounded in light.

 

There is always a silver lining,

In every cloud, yeah for every cloud

There is always a magical key

for every lock, yeah for every lock

 

Always is for eternity no beginning or end,

so let it all in, yeah just drink it all in.

 

So turn the key in the lock

and cloth me in silver lining

It started long ago, Yeah it began so long ago.

 

So I'm not gonna run, yeah I'm never gonna run. I'm going dance in your eyes. Look into your eyes.

sitting here quietly in the theatre all alone,

I saw that the curtain had quietly arose

you saw me there so you swirled your cloak

then you winked at me sharing your joke.

 

I laughed at you & bowed my head,

sinking in my seat kinda wishing I was dead,

but you just bowed

then knelt to the floor & said

"I think that I'd prefer to just dance instead"

 

oh oh ohhhhhh

oh oh ohhhhhh

 

I came up the stairs but I tripped at the top,

and you were right there before I could drop,

I was looking at you so perfect & bright,

quietly begging for God to turn off the light.

 

Then the curtain dropped there was silk all around,

you stumbled on your cloak & we both fell down,

then ever so gently you took off my clothes,

my heart was beating right in my throat.

 

words into actions

actions into words

speech into silence

time for us just froze

 

The awkwardness in me just magically disappeared,

ran right out the door like a child from its fears,

then ever so softly you whispered to me,

"you can choose to be whatever you wanna be".

 

Then you lifted me up & waltzed with me,

across that stage into eternity,

you said my name & I took your hand,

& together we flew just like they'd planned.

 

Start the show, start the show

Let's take off to a world we know,

No bags to pack just ready to go,

There's nothing we need,

So start the show

 

Words into actions

Actions into words

Speech into silence

Time for us just froze

 

you saw me sitting in that soft velvet chair,

my eyes couldn't believe that you were standing there,

I smiled at you & you winked right back,

My heart flipped over & the lights went black.

 

Oh oh ohhhhhhh

oh oh ohhhhhhh

oh oh ohhhhhhh

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

 

(Music for this is Kate-Miller Heidke's 'Fire and Iron')

Last one (for today anyway).

 

Released

 

such perfection in your wisdom,

and with your gentleness,

you turned darkness blind,

resurrected in honour,

baby you know how you shine,

oh how you shine.

honouring you forever, it's all for you, just for you.

 

released through all of space,

lessons learnt from the past,

released through all of time,

we'll take the blessings & make them last.

 

keep thou not silent,

when evil has been spoken for truth,

like the sunlight that shines above,

only ever follow thine own heart,

cause in there is the richness, it is rich, it is so rich.

 

released through all of space,

lessons learnt from past,

released through all of time,

we'll take the blessings & make them last.

 

Ohhhhhh how I've journeyed,

deep in mysteries have travelled I,

and all I found was already within me,

the great fire hidden deep within,

only through thy self will go I,

let me go, go I.

 

released through all of space,

lessons learnt from past,

released through all of time,

we'll take the blessings & make them last.

 

released through all of space,

lessons learnt from past,

released through all of time,

we'll take the blessings & make them last.

 

(I sort of imagined this one to something like Ben Harpers 'Blessed to be a Witness'

I just made this one up on the spot.

 

Wasting Time

I'm sitting on a boat,

In the middle of the ocean

Letting the tide blow my course

Laying still with no emotion

 

I've made no friends

Out there in empty space

Living in fear of the storm

But hoping for a change of pace,

A change of any form.

 

[Chorus]

My whole life has felt like a waste of time

I see others riding the waves

From the safety of my tower

Every night and every day,

Never venturing into the storm.

 

Just a waste of time...

Always living on the line

Just a waste of time...

Inside this bubble of mine

 

 

This is how much I have so far, inspired by my incredibly shitty day today.

Well if that's on the spot I think I'd fall over at your ' thoughtful' stuff! I really like this cause to be perfectly honest I feel the same way .

 

I hope your day improves lovely. Thank you for sharing your honest words. They made me smile, in an understanding sort of way. :heart:

Wrote this one last night.

 

Home

(DAEF#AE)

Verse: (770500), (11,11,0,10,0,0), (440300), (220200)

Chorus: (00,12,000), (11,11,0,10,0,0), (440300), (220200)

 

Is it time to leave this town and start again

Somewhere far away where no one knows your name

The streets you're standing on, a hollowed out flame

A picture perfect photograph

Burning out the past

 

Home...Home....

 

Is time a bullet hole, you're staring straight at

Electrifies your soul, like wind against a mast

This life you know so best, different from all the rest

We're chasing all the waves

And breaking through the crest

Going

 

Home... Home... Home.... Home

 

Is it time to leave this town and forget about the rain

Somewhere far away where no one knows your name

The streets we're dreaming on, You know we'll start again

Hey fellow Coldplayers! I'm a musician as well and take great influence from the band as well as many others, and this is one of my more recently written songs. Let me know what you think...

 

Title: Transmissions

 

V1: Hear the thunder rumble, in the never ending rain, the sins that I made, a black, empty stain

 

C1: I stand immersed at your name, I stand immersed at your name, where love once laid, is only fear and shame, calling out to me

 

V2: These are dark hours, but the light will shine again, and our walls will crumble, and sell the sadness within

 

C2: I stand in awe at your name, I stand in awe at your name, and hope will find its way, through the fear and the shame, but you should never call out to me

 

Solo/ Instrumental

 

C3: I stand alone at your name, I stand alone at your name, sail me away, through no tears and blame, should you ever call out to me

Wow I love it. I'd love to hear it. Here's something I wrote a long time ago and just recently rediscovered.

 

Liftoff

 

I used to search for love,

With my mind but not my heart.

I used to feel the hurt,

From tearing myself apart.

 

But now I finally have broken free.

From the shackles,

That I placed upon myself.

I could see so clearly,

Every obstacle in front of me.

 

But now they are just clouds,

In a sky full of stars.

And I am the rocket,

Waiting to blast off into space.

Well here goes nothing....

 

 

Can't Sleep

 

Tired but can't sleep

I've been thinking too much

Waking up in oceans of memories

Can't sleep thinking you're looking right back at me

 

It's so misty

sometimes we go fast

While the world stops

So we think until the world spins

Then we are stuck in a state

A state

And we never sink

Can't sleep

 

Tired but can't sleep

Speaking to ghosts who died some time ago

Waking up in voices that are sinking

Can't sleep thinking you're listening to what I'm thinking

 

But I have to say

I have to explain

I see the other side of things

The side that is better for me

I can't seem to say these things clearly

But if you understand I've stayed up

Haven't given up or fix this

 

Still haven't gone away

Still I am here

I've stayed

Can't sleep

Thinking of you always on my mind

 

Still haven't went away

I still am awake

Couldn't sleep won't sleep

 

I can't seem to sink or to disappear

I'm still here

I wanna go but I stuck in this state

For you

I'm tired and I can't sleep
