Do you write your own lyrics

[Raven Soul]

do you write your own lyrics? I think this is very important for everyone to write not just bands and poets

Here are some of mine.

i'll reach inside you
eat your soul
fill your mind with crystal light
you won't need friends now
you have me ME

vaccinate
can you stand the pain
vaccinate
can you open the vein
vaccinate
your weakness leaves you open to me

 

[penance-soiree]

cool.. i'm likin the "vaccinate" lyric
i do write my own too

 

[Cerulean]

Any drummers around?

I composed this a long time ago,I was more into the goth stuff so I had my share of influences,I still think its very beautiful nowadays though.Im focusing on regular (non-goth) doom lyrics now and some black metal too

BLACK ROSE

I've been waiting for you
watching the flows of the streams
Didnt asked you to enlighten my life
to walk into my dreams

black roses grows on the silvery grass
you are the damnation of my life
the shadows in my path
yet you took my heart
you used at your will
my feelings for you
werent your feelings for me

Black rose
why do your thorns cut so deep
so deep into my heart
so deep into me

Stain and tears you leave behind
as you walk your way into my mind
you'll always be my silent cry
wandering the night

i find it hard writing down my feelings properly in lyrics or poems. cant seem to find the exact words, not even in dutch..
i try to transform my feelings into music solely. did do some writing but i dont think i'm quite talented
its hard to keep away from the cheese
do have a cpl that did got round that i feel.

 

[Cerulean]

Oh I have the same 'problem' Piet, that's why I never post any lyrics of mine. I've given up trying actually.

 

[toolsofthetrade]

there's lots of ways of expressing. i just do as feels naturally.

tho i sometimes listen to/read/hear/write lyrics that i feel are like there's nothing to 'discover' in them anymore. its no problem to have a litteral style, but its nice if lyrics are kinda abstract.

 

[Cerulean]

Hmm I hardly like any lyrics I read in threads like these or the ones on the Anathema forum. I'm too damn picky when it comes to lyrics So because I know I can't do any better, I don't even bother writing any. I rather play some geeee-tahr.

Hope Hereafter



Too late to turn back the pages, too late to give it all up
Mistakes I’ve made I learnt from them but still I have
To find a way to cope with the aftermath, escape the wrath and the weight of loss
Perception’s blurred as I can’t recall serene hours

A sealed fate breeds a bloom of hatred I can’t control
Trapped in all-out negativity, is the battle already lost ?
To part with my demons, don’t let them overcome
How could I reach this point of no-return ?

Whenever all you can say
Is ‘Please forgive me’
I won’t hear you

I didn’t choose the easy way out and failed to fit your ideals
I may be dying with my dreams but I’m not faking my entire life
Looking back at the past, this plague… Irreversible damage was done
Maybe I’m losing more than I’ll gain, I can’t conceive another way of life

A sealed fate breeds a bloom of hatred I can’t control
Despite my attempts at breathing through, they’ll keep on choking me off
I could foresee them demons coming, I had been warned
How could I reach this point of no-return ?

This path… My life… Astray? No matter if I have to pay the price.

Waste Game



Slowly emerging from a three years long slumber
Procrastinating would turn a life into void
Once again I had failed to dream and escape this cell
Locked-up in this brain, trying to find an answer
Pervert pleasures, deadly games
Pills contentment
Idleness driving insane
Emptiness, bliss
It took some guts to face the day instead of blaming fate
Still so random to accept responsibilities…

The only solution
Find a way back to these times when life was nothing but a joke…

Cross the threshold
Another fight
To rid the remorse and erase the scars
Unless blood spills again
Another yearn for life…

Slowly plunging down into a future unknown
Chances to rely on your system have been drained
What can I hold on to ? What’s utopian or vain ?
Just keep me away from the stream that’s turning red

[Morpheus]

Somehow i think they would stand out

 

[Morpheus]

would be funny though. Maybe you can record it at home and simply upload it somewhere so we can listen to it?

I am trying to write poems or songs ... but it's really hard for me ... to express my feelings with words (both german and english). Personally i prefere english poems...

my suggestion is: just write every littel thingthat in your mind even if it's mean nothing to you.. after you write everything that you could possibly thing of, wait a week and after week it will just come to you, this worked for me when i had your problem.

my lyrics:

can you, feel
feel the pricks... inside you...
in your unconscious
falling, through your skin...
pecking your eyes,
purge your thoughts.
the noisy silence invade your bleeding mind...

rape with love
rape with lust
dig yourself till the morning dark sun
rape with sense
rape with charm..

feel, feel, my pain
feel, my lava, burst out...
keeping the noisy silence, in my head
explode, with your anger
feel the pricks... in your silence

rape with love
rape with lust
dig yourself till the morning dark sun
rape with sense
rape with charm..

can you feel?
it's all over, you're no longer
human.
you can no longer feel...
