When you start writing but all you can write is depressing stuff because that's how you've been feeling lately, even though you don't really want to write a depressing song for the round. Does anyone understand what I mean?   I don't want to write something depressing this week but that's all I can express right now ajkfahkfja it sounds so ****ing sad    

 

Maybe I should do Ruby instead. It would be a complete 180 for me

I'm always "vulnerable" in my songs aljkhfaljf I kind of hate it   I never write songs where I'm like "yas I'm a boss bitch **** y'all" I kind of want to experiment with that this round and see what happens. I've literally never written a song where I'm not suffering somewhat

there's a number of people who didn't submit this round. you could probably just resubmit it, take the late penalty and then see where it lands 

I just added Jackson to the pm to show I submitted the entry we'll see what happens I guess, not too mad since I was kinda side-tracked with the whole "getting kicked out of the house" situation which luckily has calmed down a bit & I'm making plans to move into an apartment spring next year

[UFO]

that's like my worst nightmare. thinking you submitted then realising you only sent it to yourself ajlfhalsjk   cause I message my songs to myself first and THEN add Jackson 

 

    hopefully that will never happen

Out of the garden

I was the tree that grew love

You climbed upon my leaves

And broke the branch of our trust

 

Out of the garden

Under Eve’s microscope lens

I shedded warmth to repent

Boys that can’t grow as men

 

 

[UFO]

ok I'm switching my plans. gonna do Ruby first and see if I can come up with anything good

UNLESS I think of a really good Opal concept but all I can think of right now is having sex with a wizard   @Speezy is shook !    

[MattyTacos]

how can we fix this inhumane mistake @Jackson

 

 

 

time to go back to studying for my test tomorrow but let me check out the 4th round first

Black Sun

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Inspired by: No Sun on the Horizon - ceremonials

 

VERSE

In the morning

All the way into the afternoon

I was falling

Kept falling in all your ocean blue 

 

Your source of life

I grew all these flowers just for you

I shine brightly

Knowing you can't live without me too

 

I start dimming 

As evening dies, night hides me from you

In her shadow

I'm shining but you haven't a clue

 

With her moonlight

She steals my love, my entire world

As you break my universal trust

 

CHORUS

I'm barely shining 

I'm trying to give you light 

But I'm void of all your love 

I lose you in the nighttime

Your horizon disappears

A world so out of my reach

All my efforts are eclipsed

The world starts to freeze 

And you'd rather have the moon

Cause I'm a black sun 

And you'd rather have the moon

Cause I'm now a black sun

 

BRIDGE

In the past light years, you revolved around my sun

But once my light had faded

You were with her bright side every night I was gone

You call me crazy, that I have the ocean blues

Why wouldn't I when I can't forget I need you?

 

OUTRO

But you'd rather have the moon

But you'd rather love the moon

Than a black sun in the dark

I'm in the dark

 

A Love In A Lie

Inspired by: Narcissus

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

It is written through the perspective of Narcissus. 

Narcissus - known for his beauty and arrogance, falls in love with his own reflection and eventually dies because of it.

Odyssey - an epic journey, originates from Odysseus' ten-year journey home from Troy.

Echo - a nymph who fell in love with Narcissus but he rejects her love.

Adonis - the god of beauty and desire.

Midas touch - to turn anything to gold.

BRIEF SUMMARY

"Narcissus continued to attract many nymphs all of whom he briefly entertained before scorning and refusing them. The gods grew tired of his behaviour and cursed Narcissus. They wanted him to know what it felt like to love and never be loved. They made it so there was only one whom he would love, someone who was not real and could never love him back.

 

One day whilst out enjoying the sunshine Narcissus came upon a pool of water. As he gazed into it he caught a glimpse of what he thought was a beautiful water spirit. He did not recognise his own reflection and was immediately enamoured. Narcissus bent down his head to kiss the vision.

 

As he did so the reflection mimicked his actions. Taking this as a sign of reciprocation Narcissus reached into the pool to draw the water spirit to him. The water displaced and the vision was gone. He panicked, where had his love gone? When the water became calm the water spirit returned.

 

“Why, beautiful being, do you shun me? Surely my face is not one to repel you. The nymphs love me, and you yourself look not indifferent upon me. When I stretch forth my arms you do the same; and you smile upon me and answer my beckonings with the like.”

 

Again he reached out and again his love disappeared. Frightened to touch the water Narcissus lay still by the pool gazing in to the eyes of his vision."

VERSE

(I think I've finally found a love)

Someone has finally matched my beauty

After an odyssey lasting a loveless lifetime

(I think I've finally found a love)

When others expressed their freak lust to me

I wouldn't echo it back, they weren't worthy enough

 

(But now I've finally found a love)

I found it through daydreams, staring at the sea

When an Adonis suddenly appeared in vision

(But now I've finally found a love)

Instantly he was right in front of me

What if I no longer had a reversed Midas touch?

 

But even if I can't touch you, my love won't give up

 

PRE-CHORUS

In dreams we will dance

I feel you

Not with my hands

I feel you

Only with my heart

I feel you

Never through touch

 

CHORUS

Cause as I stare at you amidst the azure sea

Your muddy blank mirrors stare right back at me 

I try to stroke your hair, I try to kiss your cheek

(You try to stroke my hair, you try to kiss my cheek)

But for some reason my kiss can never reach

(But for some reason your kiss can never reach) 

The waters drip on my lips as tides fold you in

In that moment I realise you were a figment

Cause as I try to stare back at you again

All that's staring back at me is the sand

A love in a lie

 

VERSE

(I think I found a love in a lie)

Unfortunately love got lost at sea

Back to Atlantis now a city lost forever

(I think I found a love in a lie)

I found a love but it never found me

I believed in the gods for the first and the last time

 

I thought I no longer had a reversed Midas touch

But even if I can't touch you, my love won't give up

 

PRE-CHORUS

In dreams we will dance

I feel you

Not with my hands

I feel you

Only with my heart

I feel you

Never through touch

 

CHORUS

Cause as I stared at you amidst the azure sea

Your muddy blank mirrors stared right back at me 

I tried to stroke your hair, I tried to kiss your cheek

(You tried to stroke my hair, you tried to kiss my cheek)

But for some reason my kiss could never reach

(But for some reason your kiss could never reach) 

The waters dripped on my lips as tides folded in

In that moment I realised you were a figment

Cause as I try to stare back at you again

All that's staring back at me is the sand

A love in a lie

 

BRIDGE

But even if I can't touch you, in dreams we will dance

My love won't give up even if all I have is sand

Even if you were just a reflection

I'll hold on tight to everything I have

Which is the memory that I'm capable to love

Even if it is me giving myself that chance

 

CHORUS

Cause as I stared at you amidst the azure sea

Your muddy blank mirrors stared right back at me 

I tried to stroke your hair, I tried to kiss your cheek

(You tried to stroke my hair, you tried to kiss my cheek)

But for some reason my kiss could never reach

(But for some reason your kiss could never reach) 

The waters dripped on my lips as tides folded in

In that moment I realised you were a figment

Cause as I try to stare back at you again

All that's staring back at me is the sand

A love in a lie

A love in a lie

For me love used to be a lie

But now I've found love in a lie

 

A love in a lie

 

 

Escape the Heavens

Heretic Records - Florence + The Machine

 

BRIDGE

I battled with the turbulence of my thoughts

Was constantly weighed down I got thrown off-course

But up in the heavens you're taught to endure

Cause you can never fall into the tempts of hell

 

VERSE

Jagged stones piled up in my heart for what felt like a century

And each stone was a memory of every man who failed me

So each day I was weighed down by the hurt of many yesterdays

I never fulfilled my desire to fly, be free from Earth

'Til the day came when it was my turn to be one with my master

 

So I took off towards the clear skies I longed for all of my life

I emptied out every stone that had built a wall to fortify

My guard was discharged I no longer felt the pressured gravity

He promised me complete freedom from the tears I had stored within

But to do that I had to sell my soul, completely obey Him

 

HOOK

Everything I say must be a crime in the heavens

Everything I do must meet His expectations

But what if sometimes I'd like to embrace my hell

Or go lie with the demons inside myself?

 

VERSE

At first it was promised perfection, stars aligned, no ground to shake

We existed in a space where love was abundantly placed

But one day I realised I wanted to see beyond the clouds again

That I missed the rise and fall of waves clashing inside of me

I was given wings designed to fly but now I'm trapped eternally

 

I used to abhor those stones that tore my veins of all oxygen

But I realise now my ability to hurt made me human

Cause now as an angel I must live up to the heights He gave me

I must exist in these heavens with no complaints, no escape

I would give anything to feel the heartache that made me so afraid

Once again

 

HOOK

Everything I say must be a crime in the heavens

Everything I do must meet His expectations

But what if sometimes I'd like to embrace my hell

Or go lie with the demons inside myself?

 

BRIDGE

I battled with the turbulence of my thoughts

Was constantly weighed down I got thrown off-course

But up in the heavens you're taught to endure

Cause you can never fall into the tempts of hell

But as His slave I already fell victim

Like a dove ready to take flight but I'm injured

I want to make mistakes and be human again

I'd like to fly away, fly far from here

I'd like to fly away, just fly away

In freedom 

Where is it?

Cause as His slave I already fell victim

Like a dove ready to take flight but I'm injured

I want to make mistakes and be human again

I'd like to fly away, fly far from here

I'd like to fly away, escape the heavens

 

OUTRO

Cause with our feathers we're all dressed in white

But I've got a heart filled with bitter red wine

The pressure builds and I start to overflow

I soak and stain the clouds in my deep crimson

Now that they've caught me there's nowhere left to run

Nothing left here for me, can't fly higher above

A hole opens in the clouds I'm discarded of

He kicks me from His heights into the dark below

Maybe there I'll be human again, make mistakes

I'm falling away, stones return as weight

Now I'm falling faster than ever before

I choose to fall away into the unknown

I won't have to follow their rules anymore

I choose to fall away, fall far from Him

I choose to fall away, further away

I choose to fall away, fall far from Him

I choose to fall away, escape the heavens

EXPLANATION

Inspiration: Lucifer/fallen angels

Florence has experienced a lot of hurt during her time on Earth and she wishes to be taken to the Heavens where she can be free from that hurt and be loved for eternity. However, she soon realises that the "freedom" promised in the Heavens isn't complete freedom and she starts to miss the pain she experienced on Earth - she wants her free will back: to take back her power and be human again. She wants to love and be loved, and to hurt and be hurt. She eventually stops pretending to be this "angel" and decides to no longer meet God's expectations. She succumbs to her own hell by embracing the demons within herself and essentially becomes a fallen angel due to her sinful human desire to reside back on Earth.

 

It's kind of like Shake It Out but if you reverse the meaning!
