| Well, I'm the singer/main lyricist for my band, so I figure I'll post lyrics I've written here. I'll update with more when I write them - Spoiler:
Note: Almost all of these lyrics are open to edits, so yeah Live and Let Die lyrics
It feels weird looking back At all the years gone and past And knowing not everyone you knew Made it out alive
Some say that life is too short I say that it's just right Unless you or someone else Decides to cut it down to size
Live and let die, it's such an awful thing to say Live and let live, don't you wish it could come true But we all know At the end of the day Which one is true
(bridge)
Sometimes life moves too fast Sometimes life moves too slow But at the end of the day The way you spent it is what counts
Just the other day I heard A girl who I knew had died The only thing that came to mind was 'WHY?'
Live and let die, it's such an awful thing to say Live and let live, don't you wish it could come true But we all know At the end of the day Which one is true
(solo or bridge 2 right here)
Well all I know Is that our time will come And I want to be; ready to Look death in the eyes; and say I wouldn't change a thing
------------
Attention Whore (Angst)
Rejected again, can't believe it She treats my heart like it's just an endless pit I cut my wrists to ignore the pain She's making me go completely insane
Because I'm a teen And I don't know Any feeling that isn't angst My happiness dried up 3 years ago All that's left is the king of drama queens
You think I'm faking All the pain in my heart I'm not, I'm just lying about the origins
I just want attention! If even one person would love me The gun by my head won't blow (like it ever would) I won't tie the noose (like you ever would)
I know I have friends But they just don't pay me mind I just want someone to care Even if I don't deserve it
Look at me! Just look at me!
Look at me! Just look...
---------------------
Grow up: Look at that monkey It just threw some shit And it hit a bald guy Isn't that funny?!
They tell me grow up But it's a little hard When my humors so stunted And I dropped my mind in a gutter
I don't get Monty python It's too refined for me I still think fart jokes are funny But when I laugh at ass gas
They tell me grow up But it's a little hard When my humors so stunted And I dropped my mind in a gutter
My humors more low brow Than how low your ass fat hangs I'm so immature My own boners crack me up
I don't plan on growing up I don't want to grow up No, I don't want to grow up Why should I grow up Why should I do what you want I plan on never growing up
---------------------
Volcano lyrics
Tempers running high And my minds about to blow My angers like hot lava Cuz I'm a volcano
Trust me when I say It was never meant to Be this way Cuz all this rage That I've held so long It's erupting now, and you're gonna pay Trust me, I'm sorry to say Because you're the one who'll pay
Fuck you You're gonna die now Fuck you I found the gun case And a loaded .20 gauge Now all I ask Is who dies first
I know the consequences I ain't gonna try and run But I think it's worth it Just to watch you bleed
I'm a volcano On overflow I'm a volcano And you're gonna die
----------------------
Angst pt. 2 (stop whining): So your girlfriend dumped you? (so what) My girlfriend tried to kill me! (that sucks) I can't stand your whining when You don't know how lucky you are
You act entitled To my sympathy Fuck that! Fuck you! You've got a nice home And good friends too But I guess it's not Not enough for you (fuck you)
Stop whining, you stupid fucking Attention whore (fuck you) The world doesn't revolve around you Stop acting like a little tool (fuck off)
So what if you're paranoid Or have ego issues? Sure you've got problems Get in the fucking line You aren't special For your problems
Fuck you! Stop whining! Stop whining! Fuck off!
-------------------------
Fakers lyrics
Why is everything today So very, very fake Why do we do things That make no sense
It confounds me, your ignorance To the falseness all around If you can't sing, with your voice Then why sing at all?
So many posers use programs To fake it, just so they can make it I don't, I don't buy that shit It just doesn't fly with me
Saw a man pay millions for a fake A forgery, said it was van Gogh Turns out it was just some joe Trying to make a little dough
It's easy to be a con man When everyone's so dumb Whether you're faking art Or faking your voice You'll fool some chump
And you'll make money From being fake Oh so fake (A faker to the grave) You fucking fake
------------------------
Suits: You, do you think that your suits Make you cool, cooler than me
Well I don't I think that actions speak louder Than all the clothes you can wear
So what, your suit is nice Doesn't mean you'll change the world
Remember that old man, The one you pushed Said he was too slow You broke his hip Now his family has lost Something close to their hearts I really don't think your suit Will comfort them
(No, clothes don't make you better)
You aren't gonna improve the world Just by wearing a 3-piece suit
You ran a red light Laughed at another mans pain You thought you were hot shit Just because you have money
Money, clothes it's all the same Doesn't mean shit if you don't act And just do some good for once

| If I included any strings at this point it would probably be viola since I own one and can already play it, but I've already thought about adding piano, and I probably will to at least some songs. I've also considered making some songs that are like electro-punk fusion or something, I'm just trying to think of how to do it without having it sound like shit. | |

| I like electronics the most. Then strings. Nothing specific for either one of those, just in general. | |

| Wrote a new song, the lyrics are heavily inspired by Radiohead, so I hope to make the track sound like something off OK Computer. - Spoiler:
Robotic: I've got a sense of nationalism I've got a sense of brainwashed Tell me, What's the difference? Telling kids to pray To pledge allegiance
I can't take this feeling Telling people what to think Brainwashed senseless robots That's what we are
We hail to the chief The thief, they robbed us blind The gov is a lie and we were fooled Can't believe that we were fooled They robbed us blind
I can't take this feeling Telling people what to think Brainwashed senseless robots That's what we are
War for the sake of the rich Saying its to protect the kids But it's killing the kids I don't think peace is coming Cuz peace doesn't profit
I can't take this feeling Telling people what to think Brainwashed senseless robots That's what we are
The shit that they spout 'Don't look a gift horse, in the mouth' But they aren't giving gifts Lies, war, and strife Those aren't gifts
Yet we still fall for it We still believe the lies And pray to make it better Instead of taking action Because we're robots Told what to think and do

Moments like these throughout your songs make them slightly repetitive. But other than that your new song is a good song. | |

| At some points (like in the example you posted) the repetition is there on purpose. But most of the time it's there because I just couldn't think of anything better to say at that point, because most of these songs were written in one go without any editing. | |

Original Saying its to protect the kids But it's killing the kids Correction 1 Saying it's to protect the kids But it's shutting their lids Correction 2 Saying it's to protect the youth But it's all just uncouth There are several options that you could do, sometimes repetition while intentional just makes it seem like your songs lack depth. Symbolism is a brilliant writing tool for songs, it can make or break a song sometimes. | |

It's no prob, I write songs a lot so I'm pretty used to reviewing work over and over again. | |
