lex Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hereβs my song Weekenders Β Quote βWeekendersβ Β SATURDAY / VERSE A1 Β (I only feel close to you in flashes β ) Sunburn, sweat, salt, margarita sweet / Wet hair and chlorine sting This bitter feelingβs so damn hard to keep / Cannonball into the deepΒ I wonβt open my eyes underwater / Cause I donβt wanna know what lurks, and I hold my breath so I can drown this / Before I come back to the surfaceΒ Β Sunset and the speakers pound / Darting looks from through a crowdΒ Hate my thoughts and shut them out / Theyβre a problem, not for now You donβt take the time to let me down / You donβt care and I donβt know howΒ To translate what I feel to sounds / But I drink a little more when youβre around Β SATURDAY NIGHT / VERSE B1 Β By the kitchen, by the window / Try to memorize your lingo I am starving on your silence / Desperationβs compromising Making small talk with some strangers / Try to fee a little braver I am wrapped around your finger / And I know you didnβt bring her Β Β CHORUS 1 Β Iβm not following you, Iβm runningΒ And your mirage keeps chasing me It always comes without a warning It always knocks me off my feet Youβre an artist and a magician; You color me red, then it fades into blue What am I supposed to do When the weekendβs done and through? Β Β Β SUNDAY / VERSE A2 Β (I only feel close to you in flashes βΒ ) Nicotine, cheap beer, asphalt, backseat / My mind is locked, I lost my keys Iβm stuck inside a bitter heat / The alchemy of lust and envyΒ Wonβt you teach me; Iβm your scholar / You canβt learn some things in college In the way you move your body / An archive of sacred knowledge Β Magic hidden in those hips / And madness hidden in those lips Show me things you canβt tell / Youβre so at home within yourself I wanna get you out of those clothes / Wear them, make them my own Just lift me up to where you stand / Make me better than I am Β Β CHORUS 2 Β Iβm not following you, Iβm runningΒ And your mirage keeps chasing me It always happens at on your impulse It always sweeps me off my feet Youβre a dance song and a remix You build it up before the beat switch And I still donβt know what to do When the weekendβs done and through Β Β SUNDAY NIGHT / VERSE B2 Β In some bedroom, with the lights out / So nobody ever finds outΒ I succumb to the delusion / Feel the pulse of muffled music For an hour, Iβm your moment / Iβll just live in moments stolen I donβt do βtomorrowsβ / Iβll just live in moments borrowed Β Β EARLY MONDAY MORNING/ BRIDGE Β (Itsβs 4 am, and there I am β ) Watching the TV through a smoky blur / Picturing myself saying every word So I could keep your eyes fixed on me / And they would never wanderΒ Listening to your favorite songs / Pretending Iβm singing themΒ Something youβd wanna listen to / Even when the weekendβs through Β Β MONDAY / OUTRO Β You left a wine stain on my bedsheet I could frame it, wonβt do laundry In the daytime, youβre out with her Picture perfect, perfect liar I hate myself when I see her Sheβs on cloud nine, Iβm in deep hurtΒ Iβm a day off when youβre restless On your benders, your weekenders In a few weeks, thereβs a partyΒ Hope youβll be there, Iβll be watching Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I am back from workβcute results show! Congrats to everyone on such an amazing set of scores, honestly this was a super strong round and by now I'm sure you can understand we weren't just saying that. I'll contact the top three regarding their tokens soon. Β @JacksonΒ congrats on the win, please let me know if your ego will be submitting its own entry this week and we can make the proper arrangements. Β (Let it be known that I agree with your self-assessment of the song!) @Achilles.Β you demolished this round and while you may not have gotten the #1, I hope you're still super proud because your entry was my favourite of the tournament thus far. @GentleDanceΒ you're becoming the one to watch I fear, you have an amazingly unique style, accomplished vocabulary you're not afraid to use when required but also not afraid to rein in when it's not, which shows a tremendous amountΒ of talent and control.

EpicSongFan Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 @AuroraΒ @fountainΒ @Element Thank you so much for the score and review! Will try my best for this round and see what I can pull off! --- Β This is my entry for the rest who might be curious Β Β Verse Something about us has changed so much Cause our love is clouded in doubt Thereβs something different about the way you look at me Cause when I look into your eyes; they never dilate like before But I can always count on your touch You always let the sparks fly in the dark Still, I know that this is nothing but an unrequited love Prechorus I could feel your burning passion from the outside But I could not feel anything from the inside Chorus Although your body is right next to me I could never truly feel your presence Sometimes I feel like Iβm touching an empty vessel Cause thereβs this feeling of detachment and absence Whenever weβre both together nowadays The feelingβs gone but I still latch onto you Guess that's the illusion of lovinβ you Verse I thought that I could still salvage this love But I guess itβs already too late All I know is that Iβve already lost you to another stranger Tears keep falling cause the pain is unbearable Cause now Iβm stuck in a lovelorn cycle Guess Iβll put my chances up to fate To see if weβre both truly meant to be together Prechorus All I could hear right now are your deceptive lies Cause I could see the emptiness inside your eyes Chorus Although your body is right next to me I could never truly feel your presence Sometimes I feel like Iβm touching an empty vessel Cause thereβs this feeling of detachment and absence Whenever weβre both together nowadays The feelingβs gone but I still latch onto you Guess that's the illusion of lovinβ you Guess that's the illusion of lovinβ you Bridge How is it that weβre so far apart When your bodyβs just right next to me? Guess this is how it feels when the love is gone I know I will never win your heart Still, Iβll always have dominion over your body But there is only so much that I could take Chorus Although your body is right next to me I could never truly feel your loving presence Sometimes I feel like Iβm touching an empty vessel Cause thereβs this feeling of detachment and absence Whenever weβre both together nowadays The feelingβs gone but I still latch onto you Guess that's the illusion of lovinβ you Although your body is right next to me I always noticed your wandering mind's absence Your empty promises are always really brutal So I've decided to move ahead in silence And try to find brand new hope somewhere faraway The feeling's gone so I won't latch onto you It's time for me to break out from the illusion of lovin' you The illusion of lovin' you Outro Iβm well aware that weβre not on the same rhythmΒ But my mind tells itself that everything is alright so that itβd hurt less Guess thatβs the illusion of lovinβ you Guess that's the illusion of lovin' you Still, baby, Iβm going to let this be the ultimatum Cause I want to know if youβre the one thatβs going to fill my loneliness So that Iβll stop the illusion of lovinβ you So that I'll stop my breaking heart from lovin' you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth all this gore? To be a nation for all That's worth fighting for Β As night falls the question looms Over whether we live to see light Do we die down here in the trenches? Having created our own plight? Do we perish knowing those who will bear our scars Will not have a single right? To fulfill their potential To be consequential To carry the torch in this fight? No The fires will be raging Sweat will drip from every pore But we will be doing everything That is worth fighting for Β The end is tonight So they have said Should we be home with each other? Sleeping warm in our beds As fire falls around us Should we turn to primal stardust? No, we say firmly, it is the end no more Β There is something worth fighting for For self control For destiny To not have to whitewash reality For the mere God-given right of me To hold a man in my arms For us to love each other as we are For our children to breathe on their own And not bear scapegoating scars Β I want so badly the world to see In loving comfort I want to be From mountain to prairie From desert to shore My life is something worth fighting for Β For streets to ring with joyful laughter For the youth to know the morning after For the choirs to sing and rattle rafters Where they can praise a loving Lord There is something worth fighting for Β Some say that we are sinners Some say we're better poor They're wrong and they will know that When we walk down the marble floors And the chambers will fill with conversation About how to end these wars And we'll take oaths to represent Those worth fighting for Β For our sisters to know no right from men For our brethren to praise what is condemned For our kindred to live in a world for them Where they will always walk back through the door They are our future worth fighting for Β Β Β Don't let anyone tell you that you don't matter Or that you are lesser That you are inferior Or a threat Or a sinner That because of the color of your skin The people you come to love The choices you come to make That you have done something wrong The only thing you are a threat towards The only thing you sin against Are the cruel institutions that seek to take you down That you are taking down Not by existing But by acting By voting By electing those that represent you Not hatred You are the change you want to see The future is in your hands Vote ElectΒ Fight A banger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
