Since the age of 13 music has become a part of my life, the more I listened to music, the more I learned about it, and the more involved I got, and the more enthusiastic I was and finally I ended up wanting to write songs too...and I picked up the guitar, got my hands on GuitarPro 5(with RSE) and started testing out some tunes on that. Here are a few of my attempts, some better than the others... The type of genre most of these fit in is sort of Alternative Rock/Metal more like Dark Alternative This ones called Lying in Utopia, by Lying I meant the act of saying something that's not true, and Utopia is an imaginary place where everything is perfect...It's basically 'bout how when we we're young we thought it would always be this way and nothing bad would happen, and how we'd blindly lie about how it was going to be... Lying in Utopia Verse: When we were young & innocent, We said we'd never hurt a soul, When we were young & innocent, We said we'd never part. Pre-chorus: But now the lies have overgrown, Can we keep it up? And now the truth will soon explode, Will we let it go, away.... verse: When you we're young & not afraid, You said you'd never let go, But now you're old well past that age, Fears build up Pre-chorus bridge: Into the night we stare, The stars they blind our eyes, The silver moon it glares, Shine back into our hearts... Interlude verse: When I was young & well-behaved, I said I'd never touch, When I was young & well-behaved, I'd never break your heart. Pre-chorus: But now the lies have gone too deep, No time to dig 'em out, And now our lives begin to sink, Will we hold hands as we sink? Chorus: We always said, together till the end, Forever was just too long, We always said, one for all and all for one, Now that one is dead, You never thought his life would end, Look what our lies have made, You never wanted, you only thought, well I guess it's just as bad, I seldom wished upon the stars, That our lives would never end, I seldom stared into the night, Pull down the curtains on our lives.....tonight..... Outro: Why would you think it's all done, we've left out one, Why would you feel like we're alone, we've always had someone! Why would you care! Anyway? It's just one life, who gives a damn, Why would you taste, when you've got, all the world to yourself?... all to yourself...... This next one is called Unveiled, it's basically about someone finally revealing who he truly is and what he feels after being in the shadows for a long time...and it's also about how he's giving up... Unveiled verse: When you, see me, tell me what you feel, Am I, am I, just another passer-by, Are you, waiting, for some kind of sign? 'Cause I can't give you any... chorus: Take my, take my, my whole body, Throw my, throw my, my whole life away, 'cause I cannot take anymore... 'cause this cancer keeps building up... verse: Now I, wonder in my never ending sleep, If I, could try to leave it all behind, Start my, life over like it never began, 'cause I don't like how it is... chorus: Take my, take my, my heart, lungs and soul, Throw my, throw my, my songs and all the chords, 'cause I cannot take anymore... 'cause this cancer keeps killing me!!! bridge: Before I could say, you took it away, Now it's like I can't be anymore... Can't you see that it's tearing me limb from limb, And all that's left are these sheets of fuckin' U's and buds from cigarettes..... Take my, take my, my whole body, Take my, take my, my whole life away!!! chorus: Take my, take my, my whole body, Throw my, throw my, my whole life away, 'cause I cannot take anymore, 'cause this cancer keeps building up, Take my, take my, my heart, lungs and soul, Throw my, throw my, my songs and all the chords, 'cause I cannot take anymore, 'cause this cancer keeps killing me!!! outro: Take it all away, throw my life away, Take it all away, throw my life away, Take it all!!! Take it all!!! Take it all!!! Take it all!!! hmm hm hm hmm hm hmmmm This next one is called Embraced, it's about living with a parasitic being...not all that great, one my newer attempts, didn't put much effort, but I'll share it anyway Embraced Verse: I feel it in my veins It's coming again The darkness seeping in Should I put it away? Pre-chorus: Should I keep it to myself Should I give this up and let it in, Should I try and stay the same or should I give in to this parasite oh...no, I don't know... Chorus: Please, tell me that It's all okay Please, tell me that I'm still alive, Show me how to live again, Now I'm living this lie again... Verse: Sometimes I feel alone, Sometimes I feel it eat my soul, One time I threw it away, But this time it's here to stay pre-chorus: Should I try and call for help, Should I fix this all by myself, Will it ever let me be, or is this how my life will always be... oh...no, I think I know... Chorus: Please, tell me that It's all okay Please, tell me that I'm still alive, Show me how to live again, Now I'm living this lie again...oh...again Bridge: I hope this leech leaves me for good, I can't keep this up for long, The darkness settling in, I feel it eating me away.... Just go away... Leave me as I was... And just go away... Go away... Oh...no...now I know... Chorus: Please, tell me that It's all okay Please, tell me that I'm still alive, Show me how to live again, Now I'm living this lie again.. Don't tell me that It's here to stay, Don't say it will never go away, Don't show me how my life will end, Just help me throw it away Please, tell me that It's all okay Please, tell me that I'm still alive, Show me how to live again, Now I'm living this lie again Okay that's about it, there are a few more, of a slightly different sound, more upbeat, punk influenced sorta stuff, I'll post those later...
