Hello I am a new member on this forum, and I have been writing lyrics consistently for over a year now and I would like to get some comments and criticisms about them. I feel my lyrics defy any genre because I feel they are different, mostly because I feel I have a lot to say.Anyway I'll leave that up to you.Here are 3 of my lyrics, look forward to your reviews, thank you.
Time To Put Off The World
The actors here show only what they want to see
It reminds us of our grief
Always a touch too far of relief
After the prayers have ended
We move on to the reception
It's all so beautiful, but comfort can only be perception
Time to put off the world
Before I realize my position
It's always hot here
Alone I linger overlooking the valley of man
I am not frail, I just don't care declare what I am.
Lately I've been out of touch with faith
We only live because we are afraid of death
But I fear life more than death,
Now there is someone who won't leave me be
She disturbs my thoughts, she's on to me
"Wasn't the service just beautiful?"
"Yes, God must surely be proud"
"And surely that means a lot to the crowd"
"For it must be good to know He is being fair for once"
"You have doubts over His divinity?
That is the essence of modern simplicity."
Time to put off the world
Before I realize my position
"There is no simplicity in my doubt
They are based on pure experience"
"I believe in the end He will bring us deliverance"
"If He loves us so,
Why does He tempt us with life's pleasures,
Then deprives us of all such leasures?"
"You give misery too much credit"
Time to put off the world
Before I realize my position.
I Don't Wanna Be A Victim Anymore
New confrontation of old sentiments,
Caresses the shame on my face
As I apologize to the liberal young receptionist
It may seem I have it in for him but that is not the case
As I take the elevator up to your room
These attentive walls have seen much egos fall
It always happens
Face to face
By the rising sun
I'm coming up to see you
You don't mind
For you cannot see the poison clogging my veins,
You wouldn't like it if you were to find
That I want from you that which you cannot give
The heavens would not dare approve,
Earthly gods would ridicule
As the laughing door knob aims to prove.
I'm on my way to see you
I've been by the wayside for too long
And now I turn to you
Only to burn again
But I don't wanna be a victim anymore
In this miniature room
Where the paintings hang to boast disrepute
I try to bring myself to say I want you to possess me
But you could only refute
So I'll leave you to your lover tonight
Who will lie on the bed we now amiably share
Serenading you with a song so dear to us
Ah if only you knew how much I care
I've been by the wayside for too long
I'm on my way to see you
And now I'll turn away
Only to burn again
I don't wanna be a victim anymore
Still I keep turning
I'm gonna keep burning
There's Every Reason To Be Nervous Now
She wants to be taken out tonight
Where people are molested for all the right reasons
He wants to stay in, here comes a fight
"You always, always want to stay home"
"Whilst you haven't got one
You're loose"
She must go out tonight
With friends who have no qualms in being used
They seek pleasure in places not too bright.
Moving under the pole,
Everybody wants to take her home
"I have no home so their home is mine"
Nothing in this darkness is ever real
There is no feeling she cannot steal
She crashes into someone's arms
"I'll only stay by your side,
If you're willing to lie"
We only want to lose it all
When we have everything
Our greatest conquests are our worst punishments
So there can only be pleasure in defeat.
"I should have taken her out, tonight
But where people flock in a crowd their is only risk
I should always keep her by my side
Now I know the only thing to be done is to tell her how I feel,
But a natural fear has taken hold and I couldn't say it for real"
She's free to go anywhere, she doesn't care
Just being out, close and far
Makes her smile more than he ever could
"She will come back home to me,
I only know what she really sees"
Oh,
But there is every reason to be nervous now
There is every reason to be nervous now
