Sing me a Song: Your Lyrics.  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. Virginians (229) 6 years ago

Over the years I have found myself writing lyrics. Some are great, others are just silly and make nose sense at all. Some are filled with passion, others are filled with hate. I'd like to share a few of them here with you. Please feel free to let me know what you think of them. Also, I'd love it if you'd share some of your own lyrics. I'd also like to mention that all the lyrics posted on this discussion are copyrighted to me. And if anyone posts their own in responses to this discussion, they are copyrighted to their rightful owner. Please do not try to take them, and pass them off somewhere else as your own.

"Why are you still here"

All I ever wanted was to see you smile
But you trampled on my feelings
Laughing all the while
Put up a barrier of ice around my heart
The thought of loving you was a simple lark

Each time you come around I fall in darkness
When you speak my name it sounds repulsive

Tell me why
Why you still come around
Tell me why
Why you're still here with me

I tried to hold you close once upon a time
It led you to give me lies, and make my heart bleed
Now that I know that I don't need you
You're always around, pushing your way in.

Tell me why
Why you still come around
Tell me why
Why you're still here

Tell me why
Why you still come around
Tell me why
Why you're still here

Can't you see the hate shimmering within my eyes
The hate that I feel for you
It grows from deep inside
I don't want to hear your voice
I don't want to feel your touch
All I want is for you to go and never look back

So now tell my why
Why you still come around
Tell me why
Why you're still here

I just want you to go
I just want you to leave
I just want you to go
I just want you to leave

Get the *Censored by MyLot* away from me

" Blood Red Moon "

Darkness fills the skies
I've lost my way
Hidden by disguise
There is no escape

What I want from you
You don't know how to give
Can we carry through
I just want to live

Beneath the blood red moon
I rush to escape death
Will you realize soon
Before I lose my breath

Love is hidden within hate
Can you hear my cries
Being with you is my fate
Please don't tell me lies

Beneath the blood red moon
I rush to escape death
Will you realize soon
Before I lose my breath

Before I lose my breath

Before I ...

" Cancer "

Loving you soon became an addiction
Sweeter than any cigarette
An innocent love which filled my body
So deluded by emotions I didn't see the truth

Getting involved in cigarettes
You know how it will end
I didn't know your love would be the same
As the nightmares came and went
I started feeling sick

Lord I'll never be the same
Loving you was my biggest mistake
Blindsided by lust
I almost lost my way
The days I started coughing blood
I knew it had to end

Sweet Addictions
Always end the same
Heart smoldering with tar
Lungs encased in disease

This cancer you inflicted
Will be the death of me
Loving you was my biggest mistake
This cancer you inflicted
Will be the death of me

Will you even shed a tear

This is a little ditty I made up for my daughter when she was a baby.

I love you like a puppy loves a shoe
and a kitten loves a ball of yarn
I wanna hold you tight
and keep you warm at night
and cuddle you in my arms
I always want what's best for you
I want you to be happy
before you came I was so strong
now I'm just so sappy.

Copyrighted to Cheryl Larkin 1998

Definately not going to win any awards but my daughter loves it and sings it herself now and also asks me to sing it to her. She is 8 now.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Virginians (229)  6 years ago

Awe, I think that's simply beautiful. It's so touching, and I'm sure that when she grows up and has children of her own, she may be passing that song down and into their hearts as well. ^_^


myLot reputation of 71/100. imranwajid (664)  6 years ago

nice try. But as far as I am concerned I let the singers composers and lyricists do their job. Dont want to create something for which I am not made. Any way nice one.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Virginians (229)  6 years ago

Yes you do have a point, there are some people who write lyrics, who really shouldn't. I'm not saying that mine are good enough to ever actually become songs. I do it because it's just a fun little hobby, nothing more, and nothing less.

Dedicated - Evanescene - My immortal
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
'cause your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase[chorus]
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
i held your hand through all of these years
but you still have
all of me
you used to captivate me
by your resonating life
now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts
my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away
all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase[chorus]i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me
i've been alone all along


Evanescene

myLot reputation of 91/100. Virginians (229)  6 years ago

I've always been quite a fan of, Evanescene, and I thank you for sharing the lyrics. It's a great song, and the power that she has to belt it out in that voice is beautiful. But this discussion was set up so that people could share lyrics that they have created themselves. Still, a beautiful song none the less! And, that's a great picture of the band as well.


mlumptx (10)  6 years ago

I'm not a big fan of this band.. but, nonetheless, their lyrics are powerful. I am amazed by how many songs I truly do not care for, yet when reading the lyrics to the same songs it is a different story. Some may argue about poetry versus song lyrics, but to me anything is a poem... a story, a scream, even an Evanescence song.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Virginians (229)  6 years ago

Poetry and Lyrics are closely drawn together, so you have a point in what you're saying. Often in the days of old poetry would be sung, rather than just read aloud. That alone is enough of a strong pull to tie to two together.

You have good stuff, slightly mournful bit like evanescence which you said you like :) Keep on writing who knows you could be a big time writer one day.


myLot reputation of 52/100. sj4ever (130)  6 years ago

Don't think mournful is the right word but hope you know what I mean.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Virginians (229)  6 years ago

I do understand what you're trying to say, thank you. The lyrics I shared were a bit morbid, but I haven't been writing songs that depressing in a few months, now that I'm happier, and have someone treating me right, in love, and all that good stuff. My current writings have been much, much more sappy.

This is one song I like.

My head's in a jam
Can't take you off my mind
From the time we met
I've been beset by thoughts of you
And the more that I ignore this feeling
The more I find myself believing
That I just have to see you again
CHORUS:
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
But I know that I am much too shy to let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true

Like a child again
I'm at a loss for words
How does one define a crush combined with longing
Longing to possess you oh so dearly
I'm obsessed by completely
I'll go mad if I can't have you

CHORUS:
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
But I know that I am much too shy to let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true

I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
Let me say the things and say the words to let you know
I would rather say the awkward words than lose you
Or for love to fade before it can come true
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true

My head's in a jam
Can't take you off my mind...

6. myLot reputation of 96/100. katcarneo (809)   6 years ago

when i was in high school i was so nuts about this one guy and i've written tons of songs for him...so they're really quite cheesy but whatcan i say, that's the product of my 16-year-old mind.

from "Tears of Pain"
--surely, these are tears of sorrow and pain
caused by who?nobody knows
but if you have a heart that has loved then you would know
that tears like these could only be cause by a love that turned so wrong...

from "Like I don't Exist"
---even though you're blind
and you leave me behind
still i can't take you out of my mind
you don't hear when i call
don't catch me when i fall
and you treat me like i don't exist at all

from "You think"
-you think i don't go crazy when i am not with you
you thing i don't feel shakiy everytime i'm near you
yea i've said i don't want you, but baby i lied
and i've said i don't need you but you don't know how much i've cried
these tears i shed for you
you think i don't love you but i do

from "Let me Be there"
--Let me be there for you
when you're down and feeling low
and you have nowhere to go
let me try to help you through
it'a what i wanna do for you
though you don't love me
i know i'll still love you


myLot reputation of 91/100. Virginians (229)  6 years ago

Those are quite the interesting little snid-bits. I guess it's common for a lot of high school girls to go through periods like that, and express themselves in lyrics, or poems about a certain guy. =-( Some can be so painful, even looking back all these years later. And others can make you feel silly that you ever thought that you could never find someone better than that one jerk in high school.
