New Mod Team

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Reddit Admins have assigned a new mod team to r/LyricalWriting.

My name is John, and I moderate r/eastvillage, r/manhattan, and r/NYCapartments. This is my first time moderating a non-NYC subreddit, and I am excited to help curate this space with you all 😁

My moderating style tends to be collaborative & empathetic. For example, in r/eastvillage, community members are the ones who create the rules & they are able to vote out mods. I only ban if absolutely necessary & even when that happens, I believe all users have the right to appeal a ban so I do not use the mute function under any circumstances.

I figured we could start by removing the arbitrary rule that requires you to write “[Lyrics]” and instead have some post flairs for you all to use instead!

If you have suggestions for structuring the sub or experience any issues posting your work, please reach out via modmail. We are happy to help and look forward to reading everyone's lyrics! :)

Kind regards,

John

Lyrics "Cloud House"

• Upvotes

This has always been one of my favorites; makes me smile every time. <3

"Cloud House"
lyrics by Jason Elijah

all my babies
are wrapped up in flowers
in the fields they lie there
under the sun
having some fun

don't you want to be here
I know I want to be there
don't you wish
we could come together
in the middle area

don't you want to come down
don't you want me to come up
I think that we could have
such a good time

every time I hear
a pretty song I fear
it will be the last
thing I hear

every time I see a cloud
I think I can go in there
I don't know if I can be
lighter than the air

and I don't know
I don't know if I can float

would you come up here with me
would you come up here with me
would you come up here
in my little cloud house

would you come and fly away
would you come and chase the day
as it went around the world
it never has to be night
if we just take flight

let's just go
let's just go up in
an aeroplane
we can spin around
and around
all the day

in my little cloud house
up here
in my
in my
little cloud house
up here

Lyrics A Hex Is Made

1 Upvotes

Song about the creation of something bigger than the abuser - the problem itself.

I was born a different breed—

swamp lilies and pretty things,

shiny stuff and Hellfire too.

I'm just like me and I'm just like you,

a little bit chameleon,

a little let's-just-see-what-fits,

a little bit of everything,

Stitched up in bits.

I like fury songs,

of scream & horror,

but also the girly things that make men bothered.

I suppose I find the irony amusing

It was his red-pill pipeline that led me to extremism

Call me a fucking feminist

I'll embrace it

Gonna make him rue the day

he ever fucked that way.

For he is just a simpleton,

a fucking balding whore,

who likes to think his cock's so big

It drags across the floor.

I've got news for you, buddy,

with that hairline and broken balls,

you've already been told by God

no one wants no more.

I hope you fucking rot, cunt,

from the head to the floor.

May the next hooker that you pay off

Remind you you're alone.

If men are gonna pay that kind of money,

fuck, I'll do anything.

Bend me over, fuck me up.

I like it a little rough,

but I'll charge you extra

to make me wet enough

to think about the touch of man,

the slimy paws on body.

I hate the thought

of ever loving another somebody

So I'll put your name in a jar,

carry it around my neck,

keep you rattling against my chest

until I'm finished with you yet.

I'll take you to the graveyard.

Bury your name among the dead.

Hope you're having fun

being scared of little jars

while you fuck up giving head.

Cus I've got one brewing.

The poison already stewing.

Something bitter.

Something dark.

Something made to show you

the magic is my fucking trademark.

A HEX to call your name out.

Something waiting on the deck.

These cards were never stacked in your favour.

I've been through many eras.

I've seen broken people disappear

while everybody clipped their wings.

I'm not ashamed to say

that I recognise suicide eyes.

So answer me this riddle:

How much can happen to a woman

before survival becomes a crime?

What does it mean

when a woman can be held,

her throat pinned against a bed,

while the person who calls it love

screams it's in her head?

"Why don't you just wake up?"

"Why can't you be more convenient?"

"Why can't you just stay put

and be more obedient?"

Beneath it all:

You will stay because I say.

Your no becomes an accusation.

Suddenly autonomy means

you create hostile situations.

Surely—

surely—

a man cannot do that

and simply walk away.

Can he?

The day the anarchy awakes.

All from one series of events.

Where I was told

that I no longer can choose,

that no matter what I ever did

all I'll do is lose.

They promise:

one day.

One day there'll be consequences.

One day somebody will listen.

One day the evidence will be enough.

One day. One day. One day.

So I put it to the court of public opinion:

come listen. I'll sing you his song.

You tell me what I know.

Funny thing about one day:

women still have to survive

today.

Meanwhile monsters walk free,

whatever the fuck they're permitted to be.

And everybody asks:

"How did nobody stop him?"

Maybe that's the wrong fucking question.

So I call on my witches.

I call on the whores.

I call on the meek and mild

hiding behind doors.

I call the difficult women.

The angry ones.

The loud.

The ones who learned to disappear

when big footsteps came around.

Come out.

Come out.

I think we've hidden long enough.

Call me hysterical, extreme,

difficult, obscene.

Call me the bitch.

Call me the witch.

If what I say offends you,

good. It should.

Now do something about it.

Just make sure you fucking call me

when the revolution speaks.

Because something has to change.

From police,

to hospitals,

to courtrooms,

to the systems they arrange.

To every piece of culture that taught:

"Her survival is her responsibility.

What happened isn't ours to undo."

No.

Strip the fucking wallpaper.

Drag the furniture outside.

Open every goddamn birdcage.

Let some ugly fucking daylight inside.

Everything needs a brand-new coat.

And if nobody wants the job?

Fine.

Hand me the brush.

These are the walls

that I will tend to.

You thought HEX meant

I was coming for you.

Oh, Stumpy.

You still think

you're the fucking story.

That's adorable.

You were a chapter.

You were a symptom,

just something to build the plot in.

You made me look beneath the soil.

What I found was bigger than you,

older than you,

rotten before we were born.

So no.

I'm not coming for you.

I'm coming for every cage called protection,

every silence called respect,

every wound called complicated,

every frightened woman called hysterical instead.

Oh, Tree

You were stupid enough

to hand a witch

a fucking match.

Lyrics Roulette

1 Upvotes

Inspiring, depriving and sudden

Quickly, love to hate

A flip of a coin's a broken dinner plate

Too late to fix with a little cellotape

Heads up tails down that's the way we play

The guessing game

We're both two sides of a roulette wheel

We're all just negatives, checkers, flitting on the film reel

Too fast to tell which is either, folding or breaking even, cascade through a pinhole spiel, tell me which is either

Me or you, a blur or veil

One night you're feeling better

On the steps with your friends

And the next they've learned

They misplaced their bets

Red-faced, I'm complacent

Complicit, neverending fall from grace

Why do I even keep fit for this race, to win or prove I've earned my place?

Heart-rending, twelve's a place you can get stuck in

Start spending on all the little things

That mean a lot

Embrace the fact it's ending

Before the chips have been placed, paid the fee for entrance but debased myself in everything

I was never much a gambling man

But this time my will is bending, its got a hold on me

I know myself too head first hell and crawling on concrete to gates, never had control brain connection tissue issued an admiration for losing it feeling like boy with a black hole starters kit and an enlightening soul refusal to quit, I admit problems embracing me, Feelings like my purposes lightning struck a thousandth of striking sound, mucked up in grease trappings run offs, parking lot backyard seeing rainbows feeling free unfocused refusing to bite or eat goddesses sent strengthening lucky at least I knew you, stranger though it may seem miraculously believe you helped me escape purity of oftentimes reality escapism as naturally nurtured towards reflection and destruction of lighter feels caught within their prisms...

The chorus:

"How are we supposed to be enjoying life?

If we're hunted like animals.

How are we supposed to be functioning?

If we're hunted like animals.

How are we supposed to be moving on?

If we're hunted like animals.

How are we supposed to be existing?

If we're hunted like animals.

How are we supposed to be free?

If we're hunted like animals."

Lyrics "Firefly"

5 Upvotes

Hi there! I don't usually write love songs, but this is one of the few I have written that I am proud of. What do you think? It's called Firefly.

Staring at the ocean, waiting for a sign that guides you home

Never wanted to make a move

Never thought that I would find you

And through foggy green eyes, hold this moment before you’re alone

But something will always come through

Share another shell with you

 

A firefly

Landing in your hair

 

Who knew we’d understand

You can take my hand

And I’ll wait as long as you need

Who knew there’d be changes

Unsure you want this

But we take in this sunset breeze

 

Pebble at the window, you didn’t expect it all so soon

And how should you make your move

Just sit a while with you

All the sand on our feet

And the water soaks our jeans

And it’s just you and me

And a day that will leave

But deep down I can feel

You hold this one with me

 

A firefly

Coming back around

 

I knew you’d understand

Can I take your hand

I’ll wait however long you need

I’m scared of these changes

But I know I want this

And we take in this sunset breeze

 

They dim down all the lights, and there’s no question of what to do

Now is the time to make your move

Just have this dance with you

And through your shy green eyes, you hold this moment like we’re alone

And this has always been our home

And I feel it in my bones

And I see it in the poppies

And I see it in the trees

I hear it behind your teeth

Another sweet memory

One day you’ll make your move

I’ll wait here next to you

 

You firefly

Come around again

 

I knew you’d understand

Come and take my hand

We can stay as long as you need

Despite all these changes

Just knowing we want this

And taking in the sunset breeze

 

It’s something you’ve got to do

I’m waiting for you

You know I do

And when you’re ready

I’ll hold it steady

A firefly in between our hands

CARBON

We are not fearless
Tho we are not fearful

Echo these harmonies
In the stratosphere
Above, Angels fall
Below we catch their tears

They shine and shimmer
We stand in awe

My hands pull
towards heaven
The Darkest nights
Have the Brightest days

Lay out my path
of amethyst
Colour in my sunset
Watch the tourmaline moonrise
Collapse ( shatter) the darkness
Empty tents of carbon we are

My hands pull
towards heaven
The Darkest nights
Have the Brightest days

Amber waves of motion
Feel the aura
I feel your aura
Hear my words
Reverberate
Inhale
Exhale
Sounds of Heaven’ s gate

My hands pull
towards heaven
The Darkest nights
Have the Brightest days
DARKEST NIGHT
BRIGHTEST DAY
HANDS PULL
PULL TOWARDS HEAVEN

We are not fearless
Tho we are not fearful

Lyrics Makeup - a song about masking the way i understand it.

1 Upvotes

I feel like most people wear mask that hide what they are under the guise of what they want the others to see them. I can't become an entirely different person like that, so instead in order to fit in I wear Makeup. Layer by layer I add things that are accepted, that are expected in order to somewhat succesfully interact with other people. The result is not perfect, because often I have no idea what am I doing and just copying what I see in other people. My skin itches under the layers of substance that are completley unnatural to me and I just can't stop trying to scratch it off. Eventually, they start to notice cracks in the paint, and what they see underneath this Makeup scares them away because they are used to see perfect, flawless masks that I am unable to replicate. Often I wonder - what kind of a monster looks back on them when the Makeup starts to fall apart?

[Verse]

Sleep is torn by alarm

It's a signal to start

Picking up piece by piece

Every fractured part

The sun burns my eyes,

The room is too loud

I’m one with the static,

Lost in the crowd

Scripting small talk,

Writing down line by line

Gotta tell everybody

That I'm doing fine.

Before i step outside

Will paint my face

And erase my self

Without a trace.

[Chorus]

This makeup bleeds

Inside my soul

It sucks up my essense

Like a black hole

I hate the lies

With all my heart

But I must hide the truth

And play my part.

[Verse]

They love the image

That’s quiet and clean

But hate the chaotic

Mess in between.

I feel my soul burn!!!

Underneath the disguise...

It’s keeping me safe!!!

But it’s built up on lies...

Without it, I’m freak!

With it, I’m ghost!

I don't know which version

I hate the most...

[Chorus]

This makeup bleeds

Inside my soul

It sucks up my essense

Like a black hole

I hate the lies

With all my heart

But I must hide the truth

And play my part.

[Outro]

"Just be yourself" -

Is a beautiful lie

To not wash off my makeup

I can't even cry

It’s a prison of paint,

And the world is my cage

A lifetime of acting

On alien stage...

Lyrics i wrote this song for my daughter shortly after her mother past away. Gerber Girl is my nickname for her.

1 Upvotes

My Gerber Girl

Im writing these words from the depths of my heart

Cause i know losing someone special is so very hard

I want you to know how inspiring you are

The strength you have, beats most by far

With all that you've endured through life

You still stand tall today

Just remember I am here for you in every possible way

I can't fix the hurt

I can't take the pain away

But im here for you always

This is something I've got to say

You're that sparkle of hope

That shines bright in the night

You're my special daughter

My Gerber Girl, my light

I've always known something special in you

Something I could not understand

something so special, something so sweet

something specially grand

You're that little sparkle of hope

That most people dont find

You're that one special daughter

And I'm proud that you're mine

You've had a long journey

So much hurt, so much pain

Yet you're blessed in all you do

And so blessed with all you've gained

You're that sparkle of hope

That shines bright in the night

You're my special daughter

My Gerber Girl, my light

I know im far away, I know

But I'm always here for you

And I know that God has special plans

And your mother knew it too

So let me close by saying this

You're a special mom and wife

But most of all, you're my Gerber Girl

The most special in my life

You're that sparkle of hope

That shines bright in the night

You're my special daughter

My Gerber Girl, my light

Everynight I'm praying it's gonna end, I ain't got a

friend to talk to anymore, You're a deplorable man,

just wanna lay down one last time.

[Verse 3]

You're taking everything you can, Your stinking,

You're drinking all over again, You're swaying on the

road, You're loaded with booze again, Pretending

that everything's fine.

[Bridge]

How different would life be, If it wasn't so steep, How

different would you be, if you weren't drinking 40's

everynight, Why can't you be the man that we need

[Final Chorus]

I'm bleeding again, how do I stop the pain, I'm

watching people living life and I envy them, Is it

really you, or is it the vodka talking, are you mocking

us everynight, know there ain't nothing we can do.

[Outro]

The moons cresting and my minds bleeding one

Tips Little one's memory

1 Upvotes

That's just Fields Road on a cold winter night.

That's just the back seat in my four wheel drive

that's just her hair brushing across my cheek

and those kiss me green eyes smiling back at me

that's just my mind jumping fences once again but I'll be fine I gotta get it rolled back in

I know sometimes I may act a little crazy

but that's little one's memory hitting me

she and I are rocking out to some tool

just me and that girl with nothing better to do

riding round back roads late at night

catching feelings and getting high

I miss that girl she's always on my mind

She will always be the love of my life

I think of her when looking at the moon

And think about a love that was lost too soon

I wish I could write her name in The Stars

As a constellation so the world would know

The most beautiful girl with a big heart

A warm gentle soul sassy and smart

I hope she knows that I truly do wish her well and I really am sorry for every ounce of hell

that we both caused each other in that time

And I hope she gets everything she wants in life

Hey little one I hope you know

that promise that I made on the side of the road

After all the ones that I let Go

that's the one that will never get broke...

Lyrics Where is this going?

5 Upvotes

No polish on my toes, still bad to my soles
black hole where the soul goes
A place where desire calls home
Reminding me I’m still alone
Never free to walk on my own
No polish on my toes, feelin real barebones
Tired of standing on that fork in the road
Waiting, waiting finally to be carried home
No grip on this concrete ground
But the earth still spins even when no one’s around
Sired to a fucking rock
With no guidance when you’re lost
What’s the plot, what’s the plot?
None of us know we’ve all forgot
left here to rot
Where’s your God? Where’s your god?
No one knows so still I walk
No polish on my toes, soles darker than the unknown
Stripped of all I’ve ever known
Don’t know how anyone calls this place home

It's all right to cry by Tyler Lynn Taws

It's all right to cry

It's not okay to lie

It's all right to cry

Let out these feelings inside

It's all right to cry

These emotions I can't hide

Expression of real emotions

I start to wonder why

My tears are like droplets of rain

Falling from the sky

I can feel the pain

It's all deep inside

Why these emotions I can't hide

It's all right to tell

Others how you really feel

Feeling the blues and depression

What is set in session

I start to wonder why

What are these emotions inside

It's all right to cry

Wipe those tears from your eyes

I will call you a saint that rises above the skies

Live in a place where everyone lives

And nobody dies

It's all right to cry

Don't harbor those feelings inside

How blessed we are.
To know God’s grace.

People can change.
No it’s never too late.

From a sinner to saint.
Our God is able.
The Lord our creator’s.
Willing to carry our weight

A lonely stranger.
I felt as if I was breaking.

Though no one could earn God’s favor.
Jesus will never turn us away.

Lyrics What should i name this and how good is this

1 Upvotes

I started writing songs not too long ago then took and break and touched this song up a bit this is my second or third song

I still think of that text

When u told me to leave

Cuz u had other friends

How it all had to end

That was a year before it came

Of course I got all the blame

We still talked from time to time

It ended, all for a few words

Now I'm here trying to rhyme

I know I miss you but don't wanna see you

Used to party all night to forget you

Now i couldn't care less

Cuz you had never cared

I remember those nights

crying myself to sleep

All those nights wasted

On ten little words

you never know what u have till its gone you cant see the up till you're going down

Never see you till uv left

Called out ur name

I was sad u never came

But who am i to blâme

When i caused it all

I should the taking th fall

Because

We had a normal love

We might have loved at first

But we broke in the end

Now ur all alone but

I'm here with them

Is this really how we ended?

We wished for forever

But forever is now the past

[verse]
Catastrophizing
And Prioritizing
Everything you’re over analyzing

[verse]
It’s not surprising
There’s no disguising
The need for empathizing

[pre chorus]
Wasting your own energy
On make believe synergy
Despite what you think there’s no one that sees you
And there no one that has to appease you

[chorus]
So when you point your finger
You have three pointing back at you
You’re just a bee with a stuck stinger
And the hand has struck down on you
When will you see?
You’re the enemy
Painting the target on your back
To hold the arrows from your attack

[verse]
It’s what they said
It’s how its said
Too heavy of a tread

[verse]
Synchronizing
Its Paralyzing
The Resentment designing

[pre chorus]
Wasting your own energy
On make believe synergy
Despite what you think there’s no one that sees you
And there no one that has to appease you

So when you point your finger
You have three pointing back at you
You’re just a bee with a stuck stinger
And the hand has struck down on you
When will you see?
You’re the enemy
Painting the target on your back
To hold the arrows from your attack

[verse]
Try sterilizing
Then normalizing
Conversation centralizing

[verse]
Euthanize
To neutralize
All of the agenda lies

[bridge]
What resides the mastermind
That subdivides the great divide
Between you, yourself, and the great divine
Is your own wicked mind
You’re your own universe
And no one’s stopping your traverse
It’s your only race, you’re placing first
Don’t believe the hex ‘cause there’s no curse

[chorus]
So when you point your finger
You have three pointing back at you
You’re just a bee with a stuck stinger
And the hand has struck down on you
When will you see?
You’re the enemy
Painting the target on your back
To hold the arrows from your attack

[outro]
No one’s coming for your rump
Try and be like Forrest Gump
Even if they do bring the negativity
And life has another punch of misery
Don’t believe in woe, is me
Don’t believe in woe, is me
Dont believe in woe, is me
Don’t believe in woe, is me

Lyrics Lyrics- What do you think?

They say opposites attract
But I don’t know about that
Because
He was fire red hot
She was snow pale blue
They never stood a chance

They started out on shaky ground
Friends warned them not to settle down
They wanted to push through
Too stubborn to admit the truth

He was fire red hot
She was snow pale blue
Sometimes the road you know
Doesn’t always lead you home

They tried their best to keep their vows
Beat the odds without a doubt
They wanted to push through
Too stubborn to admit the truth

He was fire red hot
She was snow pale blue
Sometimes the road you know
Doesn’t always lead you home

They’ve been together 10 years now
Think it’s time to take a bow
The act is through
Ready to admit the truth

He was fire red hot
She was snow pale blue
Sometimes the road you know
Won’t always bring you home

They were never meant to make it
No matter how hard they tried to fake it
They were never meant to make it
We were never meant to make it

The Scum (She Left You For)

Your lady say that I'm her daddy I'm your father-in-law

Blue lights flash take it off safety cause I hate the law

Blue pills falling out my pocket might just serve them to your mom

I turn good people into junkies yes I know that it is wrong

She ask me how I drive a racecar when I have no fucking job

Said babe I made 50 racks last week off drugs and insurance fraud

Brought a bad check to the bank then hit the next to pull the cash out

Bought the designer bag and gifts that made your wife wanna take her ass out

She makes my toes curl while I'm driving doing all the tricks you taught her

You call her crying on facetime like "what about our fucking daughter?"

Don't call me a homewrecker bitch its your fault you a loser

She told you what was wrong 1000 times, you didn't listen, now I use her

We fucked all night she made me breakfast eggs and filet minion

Tropicana wash it down I don't drink fucking Rockview Farms

Keep that shit from California your cold water and rocky shores

You miss the weather so damn much the fuck you move to Florida for?
