Some lyrics

rezzeJ · 3247 days ago

Here are some lyrics I've written over the last year for the album I'm making with a friend.

It's been an interesting experience and there's been lots of version of the following verses. At the start, I wasn't really writing any genuine feeling or observations down. It was more just random, abstract sentences that sounded like they could mean something. It took a bit of time to unearth some things that I felt I could turn into meaningful lines.

I'm also always afraid of my lyrics sounding cliche or cheesy. So it was good experience trying to find ways to say things which I'm sure have been sung countless times before, without abstracting them to meaninglessness.

Whatever you think, I'd love to hear any thoughts, feedback, criticisms...

No Amends

  No amends; no mistake  A feeling that you couldn't take
  Out the door, the rattling glass, I still recall the route I passed    Dragging back, all words let go, solace sought in stereo

So who's the one to blame this time? Take aim

I wonder how it could've been

Now you find blank stares

Sit stoic, a guest all ears

So who's the one to blame this time? Take aim

I wonder how it could've been

So who's the one to blame this time? Take aim Done nothing to reclaim lost time, stand by

And wonder how it could've been

Always I'll Be

I'll sit with you for awhile Speak to me of silhouettes Come disguised with tinted smiles Make a shield from what is left

I know it's just your escape

(Chorus) Always I'll be What you see in me And I'll lose myself As someone else Always you show Why I'll never go 'Cause I'll lose myself To someone else Don't play on my mind I find it Hard to resist the daydream Spilt insides on fairground rides

It's not like it was before

Why am I only the one

When everything has come undone?

  Take your problems x4

  (Chorus)    (Middle 16)    (Chorus)

Mirror

Look through the windowpane A mirror in a half-sleep Between fields and rain Can't help but meet your stare Among the empty seats You pin me there Mistook your look from afar In kind behind the glass What are you trying to say? I get that your lost

All tracks lead this way

Mistook your look from afar In kind behind the glass Train draws in You're fading I don't like What you've shown Look through the windowpane A mirror in a half-sleep Between fields and rain Mistook your look from afar

In kind behind the glass

Second Hand

Take their Words Blend and blur So They're Mine to keep

My ticket

All in Vein Act and feign Can't Speak Practiced lines

Cracked this time

(Chorus) Second hand Others make who I am Short sell self

I take no stand

Who will See Them and me Aren't All We appear

It's all clear
