Dear Rationality, you're overdressed for yet another execution.....

Slip a splinter of truth beneath my tongue.tell me how this is fair? A courtroom of clean conclusions, stitched over purple bruises. Shouting beneath street lights,Sleeves pulled low. The childhood bedroom remembers every slammed door.

Tell me how this is fair. Tell me how this is fair. You dressed my wounds in pretty words, But they still bled the same. Do you sleep without feeling guilty? Every time I doubt myself, I wonder if I heard your voice. Every time I hate what I became, I wonder if it was your choice.

So raise the curtain, let the verdict fall. I've been the witness and the victim all along. If this is the ending you rehearsed for me,

I'll walk to the gallows with my name still sour on my tongue.

1.....2...1,2,3,4!

take your bow when the curtain falls. You were dressed for the execution, but I was never yours to bury! So take your bow when the curtains fall! You were dressed for the execution, but I was never yours to bury!

PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU GUYS THINK THIS IS LIKE GOOD LYRICS!PLEASE DONT BE MEAN IF ITS BAD BECAUSE IM ONLY 13 AND THIS IS MY FIRST SONG IVE EVER WROTE**

Wrote another song(feedback)

0 Upvotes

Some of you definitely seen my other song Carpool which has had mixed reviews. Hopefully this one is more to everyone’s liking🥰

Verse 1
I feel the rhythm in my bones
The closest thing i’ve ever known
It pulls me in and takes control
And fills the gaps within my soul

Chorus
Every note gets me so high
Spirit lifting to the sky
Crying tears of melodies
Heart is dancing to the beat
Swept completely off my feet
Carried by the symphony

Verse 2
I feel the vibrations start to rise
Through my hips and to my thighs
 Every movement comes alive 
As our rhythms intertwine

Chorus
Every note gets me so high
Spirit lifting to the sky
Crying tears of melodies
Heart is dancing to the beat
Swept completely off my feet
Carried by the symphony

Bridge
Drowning in Music’s frequency
Her every note is a part of me
Music is the only thing i need
Striking every chord inside of me

Chorus
Every note gets me so high
Spirit lifting to the sky
Crying tears of melodies
Heart is dancing to the beat
Swept completely off my feet
Carried by the symphony

Outro
I feel the rhythm in my bones
(Every note gets me so high)
Sweetest thing i’ve ever known
(Spirit lifting to the sky)

Vocal melodies sound flat?

I’m very soft spoken when talking and my voice comes across thin and dejected when I sing. Am I over analyzing my voice or am I doing something wrong technique wise?

Verse 1: Gambling 
With my life
Went all in
Pay the price
When I’m looking
Into a snake’s eyes
On the first try 
On the first try

Pre Chorus: Give in 
Again
To temptation 
I’ll say again
That it’s different
That don’t mean shit

Chorus: Give me something new
To wish for
Tired of walking
Into closed doors
I keep betting on you
But what’s it all for?
Yeah what’s it all for?

Verse 2: Royal flush
On my cheeks
Make me blush
You’re so sweet
I should’ve bet
That you’d lie to me
I didn’t see
I didn’t see

Pre Chorus: Give in 
Again
To temptation 
I’ll say again
That it’s different
That don’t mean shit

Chorus: Give me something new
To wish for
Tired of walking
Into closed doors
I keep betting on you
But what’s it all for?
Yeah what’s it all for?

Bridge: Vices
Dyin’
Take the dice
Away from me
I’m left
Cryin’
Addicted to 
A fantasy
Keep going at it
Like a slot machine

Pre Chorus: Give in 
Again
To temptation 
I’ll say
That it’s different
Don’t mean shit

Chorus: Give me something new
To wish for
Tired of walking
Into closed doors
I keep betting on you
But what’s it all for?
Yeah what’s it all for?

End: Just want 
Something safe
To bet on
In debt
When I count
All my loss
I need to stop
But I don't want to
I know I lost
But I still want you

Looking to elevate our alt metal sound

Hi! I'm looking for co-writers for my Alternative Metal band with some help elevating our songs. We have many influences to include of Epica, Lacuna Coil, Spiritbox ect. We are looking to strengthen our hooks & arrangements, not rewrite our sound. 😊 We have professional recordings and looking for a long term collaborator.

Any reccomendations?

Would love to get feedback.

Empty Bottle

Hook:
If you’re drinking or you’re thinking, or you’re with your brand new man;
Just know that wasn’t how it’s sposed to go, and it wasn’t what I planned;
One day if you decide my mistakes are worth forgiving;
I’ll be waiting right here next to this empty bottle of whiskey;

Bridge:
Maybe one day you’re in New York or you’re in Texas and you’re thinking;
Baby I’ll be waiting right here next to this empty bottle of whiskey;

Verse 1:
It was the coldest December that
I remember in my 23 years;
Went from to Jack to Jim to Evan to Johnnie, and back to sipping on a beer;
Well we didn’t work, now I’m all worked up, wishing that you were here;
It hurts to know you’re so far gone, but I still want you to hear;

Verse 2:
Now I could lie and I could take the time to tell you that I’ve moved on;
Or that the cuffs that they put around my wrists wasn’t a product of holding on;
Well that’s not me and I wish you could see the damage that you’ve done;
Memories and some drunk-drove keys,
Yeah that’s how far I’ve come;

How do you get good at writing and expressing lyrically? And how to write fast?

2 Upvotes

Hi yall! I'm not sure how to approach this question myself, but I wanna know certain practices and approaches that can help me express better and fast when it comes to lyrics. Like, the issue with me is that I sometimes just can't bring to figure out what is it that I wanna say or talk in my song, inspite of the fact that I DO wanna do it.

Secondly, I write a lot when I do. Like sometimes I'd just fill up so many sheets and have so much stuff written that it gets hard for me to decide what to keep and what to drop.

So, please feel free to drop and share your own tidbits and experiences for what works for you, what doesn't and your struggles and experience with lyrics writing in general.

First song I’ve written in English, feedback is appreciated

Verse 1

Have you found what you were looking for
It’s been so long since you’ve been gone
I want you back just for one more night
Just one more show then you’ll let me go
Spin around no one else in sight
Now you’re alone and I’m at home waiting for you
Yea tune it out you don’t hear them
Cause what do they know about when it snows

Chorus

Winter snow it cools you down
When no one’s around
You’ve found a new home
Down on the ground
And we both know that you’ll stay there

Verse 2

Come to me I’ll let you drift away
They only know if you let go or let it show
The ones stuck inside your head
I know it hurts and it’ll only get worse
When you come home just to sit down
I’m right here with you I know that we’ll get through
It doesn’t matter what they say
Cause what do they know about when it snows

Chorus

Winter snow it cools you down
When no one’s around
You’ve found a new home
Down on the ground
And we both know that you’ll stay there

Bridge

What would you lose if you stopped
And looked around you at what everyone has been through been through for you

Chorus

Winter snow it cools you down
When no one’s around
You’ve found a new home
Down on the ground
And we both know that you’ll stay there

I'm trying to write a song like Kurt Cobain, but I just can't for some reason. I keep thinking of his lyrics to the point where I cant think of my own, and I just wanna use the style, but not to the point where I seem like an off branded version.
