When Worlds Collide

When Worlds Collide


The stars will shine
Down on the world tonight
And we will see
Everything, that once was
Shrouded in mystery
We will uncover the history
"Chorus"
And we will run
Into the setting sun
We will rise
Until worlds collide
And our stars
Filled with empty lies
Will come crashing down
Cashing down
When worlds collide


And we will fall until the day
We find, a way
to cope With the pain
Oh it's so hard not to runaway
It's so hard not to break
When the world is spinning round
When we all fall down
"Chorus"
But we will run
Into the setting sun
We will rise
Until worlds collide
And our stars
Filled with empty lies
Will come crashing down
Cashing down
When worlds collide
When worlds collide
When worlds collide
We will rise
"Bridge"
In this darkest hour
We will find
Light at the end
Of the tunnel
So far In yet it effects
Our lives
Our lives
"Chorus"
And we will run
Into the setting sun
We will rise
Until worlds collide
And our stars
Filled with empty lies
Will come crashing down
Cashing down
When we collide
When we collide

You have such elegant flow to your lyrics, making it a joy everytime I read them, even though it's simple, it's true and honest. And I love it when great minds think alike, even if that sounds a bit pretentious and cliche lol I feel you man

I believe in complex simplicity it seems so simple in yet if you read it enough you will realize there is so much more to it, it has no answer or complete meaning it only paints the picture of what it is talking about but leaves a blank for the reader or listener to fill. Thank you I like it when I think similar to people it makes me feel like I'm not the only crazy writer out there who treats his songs like they are his children haha. A lot of people just don't get it they think it's just words on a paper but it's so much more than that it's like a piece of our souls.

Yeah the 2nd verse is weak I kind of through it together this song has been spinning around in my head for years now.

Now this I like!Especially the chorus.This rocks,big time!

The song has verve, strength and energy. U2's I Will Follow or the Cult's She Sells Sanctuary pop up in my head when I read the lines. Is this the musical direction you were thinking of?

This just describes John so well. He has an elegant flow to everything he does not just lyrics.

I love the chorus! Really nice!

Yeah in a way it's like that maybe a little harder though.

John,
What are you Replying to?Your fans need to know!

I was replying to Peter I thought it did it

John! I have noticed that lying and lies get a lot of space in your poetry. Nothing wrong with it. Reflecting a good deal of our society and different worlds, religions, cultures it's natural . Well -worded again and sharp- edged

The whole idea is that we use lies to help better understand the truth. For instance cultures from thousands of years ago made up stories in order to understand why we had seasons and rain and what ever else. Well anyway these lies to better understand the truth cloud what is real and what is made up. We try to believe in evolution but just like anything else it is hard to prove so how do we know it is real and not just a minor lie that explains the full truth. Parts of evolution can be proven but not all of it yet so would if all the blanks that are filled are really just lies. Same thing goes of any religion. So that's the idea we don't know what is real and what is make believe because we come up with ideas or lies that help explain what we don't understand.

The first verse and the chorus were very enjoyable to read. The second verse and the bridge falters and needs to be re-written. It would be interesting to hear these lyrics put to music.

I really enjoy the subject matter good lyric & rhyme structure as well.

JOHN! YOU ARE AMAZING. I WISH THIS WAS MY SONG. I WOULD ROCK IT.

Wow! I havnt been on in awhile I wasn't expecting this song to be back at the top of my threads. Thank you everyone who commented I appreciate it. It's been about 2 years since Ive read this song. Now I'm thinking about revisiting it and rewriting it.

This is the rewritten version of the song and the one that I put music to.
