    Default I need help!

    The point is that I wrote some English lyrics and we will record our songs soon.

    BUT I'm really insecure about the grammar, tenses, expressions and so on(for English not my first language)
    I would be really grateful if someone could just read them and tell me the mistakes.
    I know, they're not profound, just simple and most of them don't even rhyme.
    but please... it would be so helpful to know what is wrong about them...


    You were awake all night long
    asked yourself what you've done wrong
    but it is not as he has told
    nothing of this was your fault

    Never try to erase your pain with violence
    maybe you'll get lost forever
    but don't don't trap yourself in silence
    and wait until your life gets better

    all of this was so hard to take take
    you still suffer from what he did to you
    and if it all was just a fake
    you'd better don't know on it

    Never try to.....

    You can listen to an old version of it here http://www.cbrauer.de/downloads/silverheartdelay.mp3, to get an idea of it, but there are mistakes in the music and a mistuned voice and no drumming ...

    The next one is called MOnkeylike(the point of view changes in it)

    Everyone admires me, I'm getting high
    nice view from 2000 metres in the air
    gazing from above with my condescending glance
    next to me you are just a fly

    You are pefect to show
    that humans have the same forefathers as monkeys
    wallow yourself in your
    fictitous hierachy
    pretty prehistoric opinion
    the man is having fun and the woman keeps the house

    Everything is perfectly organized
    my stuff lies on the table in an angle
    of 90 degrees
    but inside rules confusion

    You are perfect... and so on

    I only repeat what I said before, please! I really need your help...

    This is the only part that I don't understand. What exactly are you trying to convey with this line?

    Thanks for the reply!
    I don't really know the meaning of it, too... it should be you'd better don't know oF it, though... or about, maybe ?

    I agree with what the two of you said. However, it really isn't all that important to change anything. That's the beauty of music. As long as the message is getting across, it doesn't matter what's being said. It could nearly be jibberish and still be good as long as it's understood. I think your songs are just fine. Good job.

    Thanks ...
    Yes... I agree, but the grammar should be right, I think
    I've got another one. It's about an outsider who' s at my school. It's a bit more thrown together... but I love playing it. I can put down the link when we've recorded them, if you want to listen to the songs.

    You have to understand were they come from
    to know where they will go
    no one deserves being abandoned
    I think you're sick

    and I see you going mad again, you
    break together near me
    but you'll never try to get rid of it
    what did you do that they refuse you

    I'm so helpless
    just static,
    beetween this misery all around me
    you'll keep silent
    just endless
    I've never seen you crying

    Why do they dislike you?
    They don't even know you
    they speak ill about you
    and imagine you don't notice it

    and if you were torn inside
    no one would bother
    and no one would realize it
    maybe not even you...

    ...'ll keep silent
    just endless
    I''ve never seen you crying


    I'd be grateful for comments...
