Original lyrics I wrote a song

Upvotes

Do we like the lyrics? What should it be named

Wedding bells straight from hell

I knew this was bound to happen 

Relationships from middle school and high school don't last they said

So I decided I would wait

Maybe some day he'd choose me

Over her 

Ok

But she's prettier

She's got long blonde hair

And she came first 

Way before me

Was I too late

Oh

Now I'm at the wedding 

And I'm not in the gown

I sit in the back of the room while she's walking down

And she looks so pretty in her stupid white motherfuking gown

I cant help but feel sorry for myself 

the girl who would never wear the gown

The girl who'd never find out. 

They looks so good they look so great 

They've been together since 6th grade

I wish that I was his this time

I tried I tried to wait

But alas time has passed

And now it's their big day

He never chose me over her

I'm not ok

But she's prettier

She has the softest face

An angel from heaven

I was to late

Oh

Now at the wedding they're saying their vows

His blue eyes are sparkling so pretty like they did back then

The boy I love is married to another girl 

She's wearing a pretty white gown

They say i do 

they kiss so slowly 

And I'm just a side character 

The girl who'd never find out

And he's still my best friend

And it hurts me every day

I'm happy for them but 

Years ago I Said I'd wait 

He said he thought they would be done by college because of different plans

So wait I wait I wait I wait

I'll never find out what love is like because they said their vows

And now I'm in my hotel room

The door is broken down

They find me on the floor deceased 

I couldn't take it anymore 

I waited since I was 15 

I gave up it was over

I'd never feel love again 

I am Dead

La da da LA da da LA da LA da da da da da do

Dum di dum dum dum dum di

La da di da di dum

The one who never got to wear the gown

I'm always stressing out trying to think about fitting in
But my true colors inevitably show
I just wanna be something different
From every other asshole named Joe
I'm always workin' for purpose
Something that will give meaning to the rest of my life
That I may not live
I'm always passing out thinking about why I move my bowels
But I just run out of shits to give

Math rock/Midwest emo song i wrote

Upvotes

i want feedback, im showing this to my band tommorow and wanna know if its any good-

I’ve been waiting, all this time, for just this 

So why (why) is this so mundane?

Why must these thoughts still persist?

Father I feel so deprived, of this precious life in front of me

Father I feel so high and dry

I’ve been waiting, all this time

I know the way it goes, and even so, I fool myself everytime

Everything is right here, im alright

So why (why) is this so mundane?

Even at my highest, I feel no surprise

If these autumn leaves persist, as my reminder

That I will never touch these red leaves again

Lyrics for "was ist es?" by Pere Group

Upvotes

Bitte, bitte rette mich, ich weiß du willst mich nicht
Bitte, bitte rette mich, rette mich der Boden is kalt
bitte rette mich, ich weiß du willst mich nicht
doch bitte, bitte rette mich
du sitzt auf einem kalten Zement Boden
du bist so behemmt von den Drogen (von den Drogen)
Heul nicht rum das du schwach bist
in einer Welt die nicht für schwache gemacht ist
früher warst du meine Liebe, heute bist du high
Josefin, Josefin bitte komm doch heim
du sagst du möchtest von diesem standard Leben fliehen
du willst nicht von dem Leben fliehen sondern dich dem Leben entziehen
du willst so sein, so wie Josefin
doch Josefin denkt nur an Suizid
du willst so sein, so wie Josefin
doch Josefin denkt nur an Suizid
du willst so sein, so wie Josefin
du willst so sein, du willst so sein so wie Josefin
du willst so sein so wie Josefin
was ist es?
what is it?

I couldn't find the lyrics to this song anywhere, so I transcribed them myself.

I’m posting this in case anyone else has been looking for the lyrics. If you know the song, please correct me if I misheard. If your wondering, the song is in german, you might know it from tiktok tho

Original lyrics Matchmaker

Upvotes

*So this is really just a few lyrics I came up with without much thought so do as y'all please with them.*

* ~ = drag out, BOLD = emphasize.*

Hello~ Matchmaker didn't know~ you were a player in this GAME CALLED LOVE.

So tell~ me Matchmaker why~ don't you~ walk the path~ that you guide, and guide, and guide others towards the ones they'll always love…

And yet… you stay in the background with no one by your side.

You don't try, carve, or grab all the love that you lead others towards even though you deserve it.

Well sorry~ Matchmaker but there's no going back to How THINGS USED TO BE! Because now that I've seen ya, now that you've shown your hand, I'll do whatever it takes to make you mine~!

So c'mon~ Matchmaker don't just sit there and be idle, let's see how big of a wave WE CAN CAUSE while playing this game everyone calls love~!

Cole Porter - Easy to Love

Upvotes

I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me
I'm sure you hate to hear
That I adore you, dear
 
But grant me
Just the same
I am entirely to blame
For love

You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every homefire burning for
 
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love

lyric discussion Give me a lyric you had wrong that you think is better than the original

Upvotes

I have a lot but I’ll go with the opening line of Lyin’ Eyes by the Eagles. I always thought it was “Pretty girls seem to find out early, how to open doors with just a smile.” It’s city girls not pretty girls. Pretty girls makes so much more sense and still fits with the length of the original word.

Original lyrics Seraphim - Forgive Us (Lyrics)

Upvotes

Oh Lord, we betrayed you like Judas

Selling you for our own brief desires

I am ashamed of what we done Sometimes I feel like a burden to you!

Why is it so hard to fight my own flesh? Why is it so hard to deny myself?

Why can't I realize a better plan for me?

I'm a sinner, not a righteous man

And because of that I need your mercy

I need your mercy every day my Lord! Why is it so hard to fight my own flesh? Why is it so hard to deny myself?

Why can't I realize a better plan for me?

I don't want to sin forever, and I don't want to burn in flames

Sometimes I feel so bound and blind

I wish I was an abortion, to never be alive

But in the darkest of my despair I see your gracious light

Lord forgive us, Lord give us strength

Lord forgive us, we know that your love never fails.

Charles Manson - Close to me

Would you mind if I approach you,

with this song, may I tell you that I watched you,

how very long, I that watched you from afar,

and now right here you are,

so close to me

now I know it isn't proper to insist,

but my heart would not allow me to resist,

so forgive me if I'm bold,

but my story must be told,

close to you,

I'm not pretending that Im perfect,

I am nothing with no vanity,

but I want you,

and I need you can't you see

you're just part of me

so just sit there for a moment

while I sing and remember with each note,

it's love that I bring,

and if you enjoy this song, then it's here that you belong,

close to me

Original lyrics Rhyme I made to a earl sweatshirt type beat called all in together.

Upvotes

all in together time to rap at my leisure got my shit mapped like buried treasure

flipping sacred scripture and make it fresher.

with mad pressure that seem like it last forever

getting better at constructing math that you could actually measure.

and I'm only doing it for my pleasure no need to be trend setter.

when I could be a serial rhyme offender. mastermind with divine agenda to offend the member. of anger management group with a bad temper.

with lines that's splenda like fighting a man that's slender with an antenna.

for bumping Hanna Montana

make him become trans gender and change his name to savannah or Kenya just for testing my pen bruh

feeling like alduin world ender only contender you remember.

my shits been prophesied since the first of the first December.

that was the very merry birth of verse I used to dismember.

a pretender who extend the hand. of a fake friend

he was only in it to make end. now he's wondering where the pay went

while I say rhymes thats pre dating the dawn of man.

and he stay bent getting hit in his rear end for payment.

like a car crash call it fender bender. he learned it from his mentor.

who went to school. in city centre.

I went to school with a nerd name Spencer. who helped me cheat math whenever.

now I bust rhymes tough as leather. faster than the human eye can render

So it's best you surrender.

NSFW/Explicit Diss I made. I rap it too Jedi Mind tricks beat I against I. It turned out pretty good. Let me know what you guys think of the rhymes.

Upvotes

Curved Purgans that's a forced rhyme wonder where U Learned Them

maybe not I think I'd rather make you taste the Curb Than drive around Swerving with you in the Trunk terrorising a whole Urban.

Getting Drunk of bourbon Putting my ciggys out on ya face while U Crying it's Hurting

Claiming it's for Passion but the Transaction Happen behind the Curtain

you do it only for Attention in hopes you'd get a Mention

no need to be Pretending either way I'd beat you to Death Friend in front of ya Henchmen.

  Regurgitating my lines Claiming I didn't Pen Them.

Just know a thief meet his End When his Greed Exceeds his Worth on the Earth just Something to be Remembering

I do like the tongue and Cheek I find it Sweet as Pepper Mint

but as for a battle Barely Left a Dent don't get a Big Head cause a Pig Said your Heaven Sent

when clearly my rhymes left you Bent

you should go back to Sniffing Fent and Struggling with Rent on your homeless Tent

bitch you thought you was messing with Clark Kent but I'm more Dahmer put you head in Jar to Ferment

then eat it with Pepper chedder maybe Fedda and turn you to Excrement

then bury that under Cement make an Agreement with a local Speaks Men

to say you Went nuts and ran off into the woods to never Been Seen Again

that's what you get messing with demon who's high beaming always rapping like he don't like breathing.

beaten a cretin with verbal releasing more rhymes than bullets spit from Mac ten.

it's brains you lacking been rapping since you was in cradle sleeping.

no need to be weeping cause I'm better with pen

my objective was never to offend I'm just offering a lesson in how to treat rhyme like weapon.

serve beef that's hard to be digesting it's just a suggestion maybe you should look inward before thinking you could be correcting.

I'm sorry for your peers in how I upset them with hyperbole that's straight wrecking causing them to be stressing in obsession.

now I know you gonna be detesting my quest to get gem.

but I ain't messing your rhymes sounded more like confession of lack of technical progression.

while mine answered question of who's the best at jesting with lines so deadly they should be used in discretion

ain't no moderator but I delete you whole presence the second Im feeling like annihilator

and cater to a hater to show who's styles greater

laugh at them saying see ya later alligator maybe learn how to rap instead of treating it like an English paper

too late now you meet your maker get left beaten to death in rhyme crater

your the horrid creation I'm the creator turned curator as I erase ya with my verbal light Saber

for thinking you could step with a rep of a storm trooper taking on Vader

too bad I'ma Ill line sayer unloading mental nine when it's time to slay the invader do yourself favour

and run before I take to your brain with chain saw

or maybe just break jaw leave you crying on the floor

and when police come Id say I didn't know it was against the law

laugh some more at amateur who wanted back n forth but now paints me as villain like count Draculor

Spankin ops with spatulor for coming out vernaculor talking to a straight Bachelor

Whos running laps around them like raptor.

Laughing as they fall in my trap door then score a dunk on them basketbawl

Turn it into brawl have a ball as I massacre them all

Worst than god when the seven angels had fall

While they focused on gramtical error I'm the terror who's mathematical design will reign for ever.

Taken out contender with more nerdy shit than that dork Spencer who rocks suspender

Now remember the endeavour of the time I dissmeber. A member of the offender

Through manipulation of air like The last style bender

lyric discussion Papa_ Paul Anka

Upvotes

This is one of my iconic songs. Despite the simplicity of its lyrics, it carries deep meanings, touches the heart, and invites reflection on the cycle of life and the suffering inherent in it; the love of parents is something instinctive, and the exceptional case is not loving them. But with time, this love turns into an unbearable pain: the pain of watching them grow old, watching their health fade away, and expecting them to leave you soon.

Dear reader, if you have made it this far, just tell me: what is the solution to escaping this pain? Is not having children a logical solution? Or is it simply a change in the way of avoiding pain? My chest is heavy with this thought.

Lyrics:

Everyday my papa would work

To help to make ends meet

To see that we would eat

Keep those shoes upon my feet

Every night my papa would take and

Tuck me in my bed

Kiss me on my head

After all my prayers were said

Growing up with him was easy

Time just flew on by

The years began to fly

He aged and so did I

I could tell

That mama wasn't well

Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she

When she died

Papa broke down and cried

All he said was: "God, why not take me?"

Every night he sat there sleeping in his walking chair

He never went upstairs

All because she wasn't there

Then one day my Papa said:

"Son, I'm proud the way you've grown

Make it on your own. Oh, I'll be O.K. alone."

Every time I kiss my children

Papa's words ring true

Your children live through you

They'll grow and leave you, too

I remember every word my papa used to say

I live that every day

He taught me well that way

Every night, my papa would take me

Tuck me in my bed

Kiss me on my head

All my prayers were said
