    Default Requesting reviews

    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

    Hi there! The lyrics are al really good! Very well written! Very powerful and at time moving as well especially the second song. It is all very cleverly written, leaving the audience to think about the true message in each of the songs and yet bringing up vivid images as well! Very clever! I think out of the three it's between the first and last song as being my favourite! Very nice!
    Do you serve a purpose or purposely serve?
