Awwwww...this thread is becoming very very overrun with mushy, poignant sentimentality <3

Not that this is a bad thing. Snowman: I haven't read it yet, though I'm sure it'd be fine to cross-post it here for the sake of posterity (your thread on its own is more likely to get cleaned up or fall to the bottom of the pile).

@Lahlipops: I will say this. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! xD

hmm...the MIDI for that last song I wrote is actually good enough because it's just acoustic guitar. I might even post it here!

That'd be extra fabu, me thinks, Strop.
It's be awesome to hear quite a few of these in their vocal form; the tunes I put them to in my head don't always work. ;P

I'd actually love to record a few of mine. However, when I was younger, I took the oh-so-useless lessons for violin. I can (sort of, if you like high pitched cries of deafening goodness) sing, but uh, not well.

This is a short one I've set to a tune in my head.

We brought our hands together
across a shadowed light,
softly singing the tune
of our favorite melody.
My mouth made the unmistakable
v-shape, and his mimicked instantly.

Words are lost
Eyes drift

Our attentions turn to the beautiful white globe in the sky.

this song named "dad" i wrote it almost 7 years ago

sold my childhood
for a feeling that I am safe
but that was illusion
just like the thought
that you coming back
than I learnd a new thing
everything gets an affect, and I changed
I wander what I could be, maybe a human being
I looking again for the answer
all what I find is anger
why I feal like a stranger

I found anther one from ten years ago.
i dont have a name to this one.

from a kiss to a kiss
there is someone else
you find bliss in this why
until they go away
now you will wander again why they call you a bitch
and how to change, but u won't
here come the next man
do you think he will take the pain away

i wrote this 4 years ago for an english poetry class. i intended to finish it for a song with a friend called the 13th day. the day before i, the destroyer of the world, rested. i was the destroyer and he was desroyed, but we didn't get a chance to finish it. the teacher disliked it and i wanted to see if she's as bitter as i thought. please leave comments on my page.

i write so hard that i rip the papyrus/
i sing tunes like a siren that'll blue coat iris/
the blindness spreadin through the culture like a virus/
i'm like a vulture amongst the masses gettin blasted with violence/

SILENCE/ and now the world is scorned/
and i travel through the shadows and the gravel is warm/
i battled through the rattles of the nights and morns/
and then i stumbled on the world reborn/

a beautiful rose with no thorns/ and no hate/
the first life form was born i won't wait/
i am the master of malice, my mistakes/
are what make me do these things that the world takes/

and the world breaks, the crust erupts below/
the stuff i loved is gone/ the ones i trust are gone/
the world i loved as home is thrown into an abyss/
and i'm at bliss because i'm alone/

Ah, poetry. Let's take something with a few forced rhymes and a very dark theme.

His fingers moved across her face,
they left behind a bloody trace.

"My love, why did it have to end
like this, in silent pain?
Oh please, give me one chance to mend
your broken soul again."

A sigh escaped him, then a tear,
all things had left him, but his fear.

Now she was gone, what left to do?
The dark blood seeped out still.
He knew not what, nor did he know
the thing who made him kill.

A dark inside him held his breath,
a thing who fed upon her death.

So scared he turned away, or tried,
for something locked his eye.
He kept on starring petrified,
with thoughts he should denie.

The thing inside him made him feel
that sweet, fresh blood, should not be spilled.

And so he drank, in darkness veiled,
his lovers life, which he had slayed...

I would love to get comments on it, here or on my profile.

darkness enshrouding me
death is all i can see
i do not want to be
what i do not want to be

extinction trying run me off
all i can feel is pain
as i run i want to scoff
i stop and face darkness

pain and softness chasing one another
no one wins as they keep chasing
every second they keep going higher
as i find sanity i stop aching

the sickness is rising
i fight to to stop it
i was revolutionizing
but i wasn't strong enough to stop it

Just getting started on here so I thought I'd jump right in and enjoy myself.


TO

To feel so lost in this sea of emotion
To sense confusion by all that I see
To believe what Iâm feeling can be trusted
To know it doesnât seem to make a difference
To only see what I want now and not later
To only feel what I sense now, not in the future
To only want what I donât have at this moment
To only take what I want, feel and see today
To see the beauty of the your smile and look
To feel the texture of your neck
To want the taste of you to never leave
To take that which is special & make it intimate
To push the boundaries of what could be
To accept the expansion of what can be
To be where I am today
To realize it may all be gone tomorrow
To know today is worth the risk

Dude this thread is dead. It's been a year since anyone posted on here. You're a newb, but don't necro. How'd you dig this thing up anyway?

How'd you dig this thing up anyway?

Myths


Myths of life only go so far
They lead down winding paths
That only appear to have been walked
Places only imagined by the
Simple and the confined
We seek so much with misconception
We hope for so much with blind ambition
We live so torn for nothing is as it appears
I continue to fall
Winding and turning
Spinning and circling
Dropping and sliding
Faster and faster
Uncontrollably and
Undeniably to the place
Where all will stop
Existence ceases and
Life begins again

This is a currently unfinished my (Mandarin) version of Jin's Learn Chinese. You can see the MV here and listen to the instrumental here. I'm using one of my two rap personas here, Red China. There is no language but some adult content.

Spoken:
Yo, this is Red China here, the days of your hamburger eating and capitalist ways are over.

Chorus:
Y'all gonna learn Chinese
Y'all gonna learn Chinese
Y'all gonna learn Chinese
When Red China is through
Y'all gonna speak Chinese.

Y'all gonna learn Chinese
Y'all gonna learn Chinese
Y'all gonna learn Chinese
When Red China is through
Y'all gonna speak Chinese.

Uh, coming through from the streets of Beijing
Chinese phenomenon that you've never even seen
california love from the F.O.B.s
I'll be dammed if you call me Japanese
But I ain't hanging round in no Disney land
Safe sex, your girl's surprised when she melts in my hand
Take ginseng from the earth of my home
Monster drinks going down all fizzy and cold
Gold mountain should be sued for false advertising
Affrimative's got me proselytizing
But hey, as long as I get stuck with the hogs
Why's it my fault if my people eat dogs?

[Chorus]

This is for the people who think
We eat fried rice and throw dice
For our food
You think this is good?
She snuggles but still
I have to hide my Traid smuggle
Dilated pupils, sherming out, blue smoke,
European imports make Imperials croak, uh,
Red China got sickle and hammer
Capitalist pigs would get stuck in the slammer
Taiwan got us down, we the PRC
Proletariat rise, leave it up to us Commies

Hook (female vocals in Chinese):
Hong zhongguo, ni zhangde tebie shuai (Nali nali?)
Hong zhongguo, wo hui geini wode ai (Zhen de ma?)
Hong zhongguo, ni zhangde tebie shuai
Hong zhongguo, wo hui geini wode ai (gongheguowansui!)

My latest song:

Lightning:

2AM and it rains outside,
The room is cold and dark,
Darker than the moonlight tonight.

And I glance at the TV,
It's some old guy, he cracks bad jokes,
I turn away and look at what I wrote:

Come back today,
Call me your friend,
Look me in the eyes,
And say you'll never leave again.

Lost and alone,
This darkness is frightening,
When the only light I get,
Is a long gone flash of lightning.

I crumple up the page,
And my glass is filled,
It's been a long day,
Of running through this empty field.

And I tap my feet,
To that old familiar sound,
It's silence, It's haunting me,
It follows me around.

And the clock,
It just hit 3AM.
I concentrate on nothing,
I look down and write again:

Come back today,
Call me your best friend,
Remember when we used to laugh,
And say your time would never end.

But lost and alone,
This darkness is frightening,
When the only light I get,
Is a long gone flash of lightning.

It's just another for the blaze,
And now I'm flying...higher than the highways,

I stare into the distance,
And wonder if I'm trying,
The humming of the engine fades,
And nearby I see lightning.

And it's the faces,
Of all those people,
That I almost wish I'd never met,
Almost wish I'd never been with.

And i see our times,
I see life is so much more,
And now these tears aren't falling,
As far as they did before.

This room it's not so dark,
When I can hear this sound,
I write away and listen,
To the lightning all around.

Come back today,
Call me your friend,
I can't wait to see those eyes,
I will never leave you again.

Come back today,
Call me more than a friend,
We'll laugh all through the night,
And wish this never ends.

We're not alone,
And the dark isn't so frightening,
Cause the only light I need,
Is that long gone flash of lightning.

Here's one I'll share, doesn't put my heart and soul out there xD

Stalkers

They won't give up
They won't back down
They'll find you

Call the cops
Doubt they'll stop...

Time to run!

Hehe so not the best, but my better stuff is a bit personal. This was based off a girl who my best friend knows, she stalks him o.O
