Lyricist Please stand man!!!!!!

I'm really interested in a songwriting competition though........

We could always have both, a lyrics competition and a full-scale songwriting with proper backing competition

EDIT : Sorry that was a bit confusing, I meant that I'm interested in a lyrics-writing compeition, just the lyrics, not the music itself :lol:

Just for those interested, for watever sake.

Anyway, is this gonna be the American Idol model where listeners vote, or are the works gonna be judged by a panel of judges?

And for different categories, have a different set of judges so it will be fair. Metal songs judged by those who produce metal music, rock, by rock music producers, and so on...

Note: For the term 'producer', I mean the person(s) who produces the music, be it the band, the musician, or the writer, and so on...

How about a 50% thing? Half of the points will be decided by voters. Cool eh? If got judges then must scout for prizes already

 

[17wil]

cool i am up for it.

My humble contribution...

The lyrics, I mean...


Wasted Years

When you look over your shoulder
What’s left behind ain’t always what matters
Always what matters

When you look in the mirror
What lies before you?
Does it tell you what you’d have wanted to hear?
Do you see the wasted years?

Chorus:
The seeds of our living
Are sometimes watered with tears
The harvest and believing
Takes a whole lot of faith and the years

They say when you get older, you’re wiser
That still water will run deeper
Life can do you no wrong, do you no wrong

But when you can’t see that much further
Your blistering feet are dragging you down
Do you blame it on wasted years?

Outro:
My head holds high while my feet’s on the ground
No wasted years are taking me down

wahaha out of boredom. I suck at this kinda stuffs.. here goes

Facts

He makes up his mind
Say whatever i dont mind
He thinks i'm Fat
Thinks I'm flat
Thinks I'm ugly
Well that's just too bad

I'm not a cosmetic doll
Get yourself a pump up doll
I'm not perfect
Lets face the fact

Love is blind
So am i
Sayin all the things
To make you glad
See what i get back?
A rotten bagsack

All the emotions
Cursing and swearing
Slaping and beating
Love is blind
So am i

He makes up his mind
Say whatever I dont mind
I aint changing for you

Sayin all the things
To make you glad
See what i get back?
A rotten bagsack

 

[Scream_ed]

Whoa...I think we have a punk rocker here...

 

[17wil]

cool. here's mine.

There was this girl I met online
on a website that i frequent at night
i came to know her through Alexis
who came and told me her name's mercedes

I knew i was in love
my heart went fluttering above
and that i realised i tried too hard
she belonged to a higher class , of which i wasnt one
she gave me some great advice
which i abided from ten to one

I knew i was in love
my heart went fluttering above
and that i realised i tried too hard

she's married , that what i heard
and that rumors about that i am a sick pervert
she swore never to see me again
and that's how the story ends



just a doodle with no meaning beside it....maybe i will write another better sounding one than this >.<

 

[Rotlung]

Whoa...I think we have a punk rocker here...

Unfortunately, I must concur.

 

[Rollercoaster]

Still working on it.....

Lovers' Day
Looking for somebody out on Lover's day, yeah ain't there an answer for today,
Blowing, puffing on a dead man's cigarette. The smoke, seems like the art of the devil.
Moving along to the fashion of the people. Trend-seeking, Trance-seeking.
I ain't sleeping till I'm dying.
I ain't sleeping till I'm dying.
Why don't you come with me?
Why don't you come with me?
Meet me at the end of the tunnel, where the light shines.
For every child who dies, there's another born.
For every girl I love, there's another lost.
For every famous song, there's another thrown.
For every seed I sow, they reap another fruit.
A strange seed, a strange fruit, another cry......................

 

[thor666]

a very very old song i wrote. probably never going to get played anyway.

Haunted By Demons
==============

Verse 1
Hold me cos I'm falling into twisted ways of hope & glory
Tell me if I ever can deny
Lead me in the darkness in this life and in this life and in this telltale story
Tell me if I ever can defy

Verse 2
In my dreams of monsters I can see the little wood house burning
Tell me is it me I see inside
In the gate of fortress I can hear the screams of evil calling
Tell me if he's standing here beside

Pre Chorus
You may say I'm never true
To the things I never do...

Chorus
Help me I can't deny the crystal 8 ball on the table
but I... but where are you now?
Help me I can't deny the prophecies the wise men tell me
but now... but where are they now?
cos I've been haunted by the demons in my head
they tell me things I can't defy...

Solo

Verse 2
Running from the shadows I can see the lives of millions dying
Do they really have to still abide?
Fleeing from the sins that I can see the people kneeling crying
Is there one I really can confide?

Pre Chorus

Chorus * 2

Ain’t it Easy

A hundred days spent together
Even more nights for your favour
On the Rider’s connection link
You told me you loved me too much
Needed me like you need my love

Now the audience knows the truth
Now they are very much amused
They are laughing hard at me
They are telling me to wake up

You had to do it to me no?
You had to kiss me on the lips
And leave me crawling didn’t you?
It was an easy game for you

Ain’t it easy for you
You said you loved me too
Ain’t it easy for you
You played me like a fool

The hundred nights spent together
We made sweet love to each other
I thought I had found a woman
And you said you needed a man

Now it is too clear to my eyes
Now I have seen the painful truth
You only need a rubber doll
And the audience will know

Ain’t it easy for you
You never did loved me
Ain’t it easy for you
It was all a fun game

A simple plea for true love
Could you not see it?
If I could be blinded at all
I would never had known who you are

 

[daryl]

something i wrote a while ago, just to share..

Loose Lips Sink Ships
Take these words away with you, she said
Cause they don't mean anything anymore

We're over and through, she said
Cause you were never true, you were never true
you were never true, you were never

Loose lips sink ships, that's what you said
but see who's drowning now, see who's drowning now
Damn this cold air it's chilling me to the bone
but see who's colder now, see who's colder now

I'm never coming back to you, he said
I never liked you anyway, you were just another girl,
another face in the crowd

Yes we're over and through, he said
cause you never trusted me, you never trusted me
you never trusted me, you never

Loose lips sink ships, that's what you said
but see who's drowning now, see who's drowning now
Damn this cold air it's chilling me to the bone
but see who's colder now, see who's colder now

Cry me a river, I said
but see who's crying now, see who's crying now

 

[Paynk]

LOL THATS SO TONGUE TWISTER. I can't say loose lips sink ships properly. Damn, haha.

By the way, here's some song really pop-rocky song written for a girl. Neh, warn you first, it's slightly bitchy.



BLAME THE STARS
i vaguely remember the scene at the stairs
the dirt on my skirt, the taste of the air
so sweet and mellow, my breath is shallow
and the rest of it you don't have to know

silence is not empty, silence is near
with no one to remind me that he shouldn't be here
he stood at my door and told me he needs me more
he wrote a story, may the stars be the props


blame the stars,
where ever they are.
it's so dark but he's not fading away.
all these things i hate to say
it's so late at night
let me make him stay


/stars fake to sleep
are you all alone
are you scribbling on your diary
are you clutching your phone?
i feel so sorry
but i can't help it
i'm taking him to somewhere else
call me whatever you wanted

 

[MackSonne]

A friend of mine said that rock songs should sound cheesy. Like Motley Crue has: "Our love is like dynamite" or other lame stuff.. What do'you think?

[nic1327]

well, the Loose Lips Sink Ships is cool 'cause if you don't have proper pronounciation and you don't know how to say the words properly, for instance "true" and "through", then you're pretty much gonna stuff up the song really badly and people listening are gonna be like "wtf?"

haha. that's my two cents.
