Anybody write lyrics on here just casually or seriously

My influence is obviously metal. So I tend to write lyrics in a more aggressive manner and make bass riffs as such. But I do enjoy writing a power ballad every now and then. Use indirect metaphors and such. Double meanings and such. My music usually ends up being like a maze of sorts


If you've ever read incubus lyrics and read Brandon Boyd's work, you'd know what I'm talking about

I do sometimes. I have 2 notebooks slam full of lyrics and songs I've written. Some are good, some are pretty bad. Usually I'll be playing guitar and a nice little riff just sort of pops out. Then I'll go to my drums and come up with something. If that meshes, I'll go back to guitar and usually the lyrics sort of write themselves.

I would post mine but I'm not gonna chance people stealing them. I like mine. Especially cause they are really long a few if them. One is like a dream theater song as far as how long it is haha

Me and Jim Bob, rollin to the store
He say let me stop by and holla at my whore

I pull up to the Circle K gas pump
She look like on her face a dog took a big dump

We gone ridin'
We gone cruisin
We gone country and never been losin

(Could be a country or rap song = Versatile)

Are you Jason Aldeen?

Beetlejuice writes his own lyrics.

It look like a kango
I'm hangin on a hango
It look like a kango
'Cause I look like a gigolo

I write the lyrics and my buddy usually comes up with the melody for songs we play. My lyrics vary from sorta Lucero/ Slobberbone style to more random and obtuse like Beck.....like this....

The standards please
is all I need
you crack the whip
I start to plead

Buzz saw in flight
its quiet tonight
silence fades
crunch on a Lays

Chorus:
Monotone whistles
Monotone whistles
sounds the same always
monotone crunchy ways

Another one I wrote that I like. I dont and cant write melodies only lyrics. I need some help with that. Any help would be appreciated. I have these copyrighted, and one day would like to sell or publish them.

The Grass Was Green (And So Was She)

The grass was green and so was she
A warm south wind blew through the trees
The sun shined bright in a clear May sky
We spread the blanket on the ground as the river rushed by

Potato salad and fried chicken, biscuits and baked beans
Warm apple pie and a kiss on the cheek
Pretty tan legs and wonder in her eyes
Long brown hair and a face filled with surprise

While she was changing clothes, she wouldn’t let me look
When she put her hand in mine, I noticed that it shook
We waded into the river, she splashed water in my face
I kissed her long and slow and held her in my embrace

We swam forever or I guess so it seemed
We laughed, kissed, and talked about all sorts of things
I guess no one saw except the Lord above
As we lay on the green grass of the bank and made love

I didn’t see her again after that day
I never called, I used to be a jerk that way
But I never cared, never intended for it to last
I longed only for that moment of sweetness on the green grass

Well the days the weeks and the months they passed
Its funny how the years slip away so fast
I got a job with dad in the factory working ten hours a day
Heard she was going to college a hundred miles away

I was walking out of the bank, my loan had been denied
She was walking up, some guy by her side
She acted like she didn’t know me as they walked past
But that night I dreamed of a rushing river and green grass

The grass was green and so was she

Collateral Damage (One Way Ticket)

Chorus
Come with me
(Take me away)
Be with me
(Let's break away)
Open me
(Please not today)
Make me be
(I'm waiting to be saved)

I remember your beautiful face
Your memory haunts me still
I shouldn't have stood around
Now I'm just too numb to feel

2nd Chorus:
Break me down,
(Tear me apart)
Hear me out,
(It's just the start)
Believe in me
(I will not let you go away)

I wish it was different
I have nothing left to say
Can't change the past now
But I sure as hell can change today




Verse 1:
Everyday was perfect for me
I had no problems at all
Couldn't ask for a better life
Against the tide I stood tall
She brought me all the joy I wanted
Listened to everything I said
But the good die young
Along with the song they sung
The bright light fades to black
Evil souls feast on those who can't fight back
Though when push comes to shove
Paper tigers crumple and glass houses crack
He'll never see it coming
He'll never see the day
He'll tremble in fear
Watching his life fade away

Verse 2:
Despair in his eyes
No where left to run
It's about damn time
I had some fun
Think you're big and bad?
You dirty vile instigator
You're in my world now
And I'm the (the) judge, (the) jury, and (the) terminator
Say your prayers you filthy bastard
No one cares what happens to you
Everything you did to me
Ill do right back to you
When all is said and done
I hope she'll rest in peace
One day we'll unite
Until then
Watch over me





Bridge:
What's done is done
And the past can't change
You let loose the beast
And fell prey to the fangs
Remember my name
Remember it well
You've bought yourself a one way ticket straight to hell.



Ending
It's all over
Please hear me Lord
I've taken life
Opened that bloody door
The taste of death is a nasty one
But my business here is done
I gave that ticket away
And there wont (ever) be another one



I'm working on this one. Especially the chorus. Inspiration was from Outlaw torn. But like I said. Trying to eliminate the cheese
