    About making own lyrics

    I'm not sure if there is thread like this already exists, but do you guys like to write your own songs?

    I like to wrote them, but myself i don't think they are very good, because they are so short and words are used kind of weird. I'm very new at making my own lyrics too, so please give me some advices if you have something on your mind And yeah, these songs are supposed to be somekind of rock/heavy music.

    So, i would like to know what do you think about these two songs and i would like to get like school grade and why is that. Thanks already.

    Nothing more than the truth

    In this world
    there is no blood
    there is nothing sad
    or nothing bad
    give me the mercy
    let me go
    give me a chance
    to show ----
    what i feel

    Ride with the horse
    take me down to your
    corpse
    should i live
    or should i lie
    give me a reason
    why would you die


    I like the next one more.


    Wasting my hate at you



    Everything i got
    gets me so depressed
    still i have
    something to keep
    the way i feel
    can't hurt you now
    or is it my dream
    to take blessing from god

    i waste my hate at you
    something i really don't see
    or neither can feel
    this nonense gives me
    headache and my tears falls
    again

    was it you
    who took my
    only chance to
    be something
    what i wanted
    to be
    give it back to me ~
    I will catch you.

    Re: About making own lyrics

    Needs to be longer, as well as slightly more rhythmic or meaningful.
    If you don't want an obvious beat or feel to it and want more of a free form flow, just focus on meaning. Neither of those gives me any feelings or anything. It doesn't stand out to me. Make it do that.


    EXAMPLE:

    Lock eyes from across the room
    Down my drink while the rhythms boom
    Take your hand and skip the names
    No need here for the silly games
    Make our way through the smoke and crowd
    The club is the sky and I'm on your cloud
    Move in close as the lasers fly
    Our bodies touch and the angels cry
    Leave this place go back to yours
    Our lips first touch outside your doors
    A whole night what we've got in store
    Whisper in my ear that you want some more
    And I

    Jizz in my pants

    This really never happens you can take my word
    I won't apologize, that's just absurd
    Mainly your fault from the way that you dance
    And now I

    Jizz in my pants

    Don't tell your friends or I'll say you're a slut
    Plus it's your fault, you were rubbing my butt
    I'm very sensitive, some would say that's a plus

    Now I'll go home and change

    I need a few things from the grocery
    Do things alone now mostly
    Left me heart broken not lookin' for love
    Surprised in my eyes when I looked above
    The check-out counter and I saw her face
    My heart stood still so did time and space
    Never felt that I could feel real again
    But the look in her eyes said I need a friend
    She turned to me, that's when she said it
    Looked me dead in the face, asked "cash or credit"
    And I

    Jizzed in my pants

    It's perfectly normal, nothing wrong with me
    But we're going to need a clean up on aisle 3
    And now I'm posed in an awkward stance because I

    Jizzed in my pants

    To be fair you were flirting a lot
    Plus the way you bag cans got me bothered and hot
    [ The Lonely Island Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
    Please stop acting like you're not impressed
    One more thing, I'm gonna pay by check

    Last week - I saw a film
    As I recall it was a horror film
    Walked outside into the rain
    Checked my phone and saw you rang and I

    Jizzed in my pants

    Speeding down the street when the red lights flash
    Need to get away need to make a dash
    A song comes on that reminds me of you and I

    Jizz in my pants

    The next day my alarm goes off and I

    Jizz in my pants

    Open my window and a breeze rolls in and I

    Jizz in my pants

    When bruce willis was dead at the end of sixth sense I

    Jizzed in my pants

    I just ate a grape and I

    Jizzed... in... my pants

    Jizzed... in... my pants

    Ok seriously you guys can we... ok...

    I jizz right in my pants every time you're next to me
    And when we're holding hands it's like having sex with me
    You say I'm premature I just call it ecstasy
    I wear a rubber at all times it's a necessity

    Cuz I

    Jizz... in... my pants

    (I jizz in my pants, I jizz in my pants
    yes I jizz in my pants, yes I jizz in my pants)
    Yes I jizz... in... my pants
    (I jizz in my pants, I jizz in my pants)

      Re: About making own lyrics

      I was going to try and fix them, but like funmonkey said, i can't find the meaning behind your songs. Maybe fixate on one meaning. try making it less like a poem and more like a story. thats how i would start.

        I agree with making it longer with adding a meaning.

        With that being said i attempted to take your song and give it one (hopefully it helps you develop one.)

        Please pardon me if it drives from what you had intended, or if you think I killed it.

        Wasting my hate at you

        Everything I got,
        Gets me so depressed,
        Still I have something to keep
        The way I feel hidden from you.

        Give me back what you'll steal.
        This prized gift of roses,
        For you never really care do you?
        About me or my heart.
        I feel as if I'm wasting my love on you.

        I can't hurt you now
        Or is it my dream,
        To take blessing from god,
        And use it on you?

        (This blessing of hatred, it runs through me.)

        That prized gift of a rose,
        You don't really care do you?
        About me or my love
        I feel as if I'm wasting my time on you,
        But yet I'm wasting my love too.

        I waste my hate at you now,
        Something I really don't see,
        I can't I feel what this nonsense gives me,
        Headache and my tears fall again
        (FOR YOU.)

        Was it you who took my only chance
        To be something?
        What I wanted to be,
        Give it back to me!
        (NOW)

        Give me back what you stole.
        That prized gift of roses,
        (I had hoped that the more I gave,)
        For you never really cared did you?
        (The more you would notice...)
        About me or my heart.
        (That even though,)
        Give me back what you stole.
        I feel as if I'm wasting my hate on you,
        (You seemed not to care,)
        But yet I wasted my love too.
        (I wanted you to show me you really did.)

          Re: About making own lyrics

          Length, meter, and style have nothing to do with what makes a song's lyrics good. It's sincerity. If you decorate a hollow core of a song with flowery prose, it will sound like a crappy overstated song. Write however long or short you want - but keep it honest.

          The way I start out with a song is I think in music. I absorb a bunch of feelings, and the words just sort of spill out.

            This is how I write my stories.

            If you want a fun song, take how I write my children's poetry. Think of 2 funny words that rhyme, find a third one and combine it to make a funny little story. Then elaborate in rhyme.

              I also write in the same manner. :P

              I have this weird habit of absorbing textures. Anytime I'm in a room, I mentally feel every texture, and absorb the emotional and physical colors of the room. I translate that into text, and that's what makes my stories.

                what

                No, dude. No.

                Length isn't important and style can be dropped, but rhythm and meter are very important. How you could call words without rhythm or meter "lyrical" is entirely beyond me.
