The Write Your Own Song Lyrics Thread

[Green Monkey Warrior]

You've seen the many threads that test your everyday skills (e.g. Colorful, What are You Listening to, etc.)...............

But now, there will be a new thread where you can write your innermost feelings in song on........

THE WRITE YOUR OWN SONG LYRICS THREAD!!!!!!!

~ All you gotta do is write some song lyrics that pop into your brain
~ Genre doesn't matter for the most part (I expect a lot of pop and r&b and a minimum of metal— that means you, Megadeth, Metallica, Mastodon, etc.)
~ You can write about Legends victors or losers all you want
~ HAVE FUN WRITING YOUR LYRICS!!!

TAW's Note: Moved the topic from the Jester's Court to the Dark Forest.  It's not spam so much as non-Legends discussion, so it really belongs here.

Also merged the original post with this one which was split from the Main Spam Topic.  Apparently, ALF was discouraged from posting it here because he felt like the genre would've been frowned upon.  I realize your tastes are different from other members (myself included), TPJ, but it's kind of unfair for you (even as the creator of the topic) to indirectly suggest what genres people should listen to or write for.  Some of us dislike certain genres, but that should never overlap with a personal attack, so as long as we can all respect one another's tastes and agree to disagree where necessary, everything should be fine.  Then we can just let everyone's creative energies flow without boundaries.  I hope you understand.

“Pestilence”

Dignity compromised
What the fuck is this?
Art has been colonized
By talentless tyrants
Catch it while you can
It’s a free ticket to infamy
Infiltrate the lands
One touch and you’re just gone

Why bother with talent if it doesn’t sell?
Making shit that’s played in the lounges of hell
Changed and “fixed” by corporate greed
They reap the money and fame that you feed
But it’s still a pestilence!
But it’s still a pestilence!
But it’s still a pestilence!

Lust for attention
Prostitutes for fame
Their false pretensions
The masses suffer silently
There just is no cure
Fuel for stupidity
Yep, it’s real mature
To put your wants before your priorities

Why bother with talent if it doesn’t sell?
Making shit that’s played in the lounges of hell
Changed and “fixed” by corporate greed
They reap the money and fame that you feed
But it’s still a pestilence!
But it’s still a pestilence!
But it’s still a pestilence!

Well, TAW might be able to deduce what this one was inspired by; but everyone else will just have to make Wild Mass Guesses because there's no way in hell I'm explaining the backstory. I haven't found a suitable title for the song yet, so if there's something that comes to your mind, please tell.


Wandering the lonely sidewalks
Wondering if I have a purpose here
Hide in these city shadows
I can sense you coming nearer

I’m not quite ready to leave you
I’m searching for redemption
I’ll cause you weeks on end of unrest
But is that my intention?

You try to close your eyes
But you still can’t escape
A part of your soul dies
Your path has gone astray
I now control your mind
A different you is born
Wake up tomorrow / Find
You’ve been left ripped and torn

I lean on broken walls
Slipping through dirty streets
You’re cornered in an open void
Inevitable fate you meet

Temerity – it's filling me
As I’m watching, coming closer
I’m really not here to enslave
I wish that I could show you so

You try to close your eyes
But you still can’t escape
A part of your soul dies
Your path has gone astray
I now control your mind
A different you is born
Wake up tomorrow / Find
You’ve been left ripped and torn

The white spots swim before your eyes
Your mind, it slowly starts to die
Veins pump poison – numbs your bones
No explanation – you’re alone!

You’ve learned this time the hard way
Now how much more do you want to stay?
Not even during the day you’ll dare
Or you’ll be begging for another nightmare

You try to close your eyes
But you still can’t escape
A part of your soul dies
Your path has gone astray
I now control your mind
A different you is born
Wake up tomorrow / Find
You’ve been left ripped and torn

You’re left in state which no one can empathize
Not even you can understand
You must endure all the pain and the shame
And face this nightmare all by your own
