Haven’t finished a book in a year
Finished this bottle alone again
The best of me lately is insincere
New lies, black rabbit, cat foot strange men
Ohhh, their bows and arrows point at me
Ohhh, please dont go or let me free
Taught me how to play dead, i got too good
Method acting shades of red, i misunderstood
But the blood was real, you bled me dry,
dont tell me how to die this is my life
Only wanted me on stage in your design
Car alarms, beating heart
Breathing in your goodbye
Exhale quick, fall apart
I screamed you heard a wolfs cry
Ohhh, its looking like you are getting tired of me
Ohhh, another washed up actress absentee
Taught me how to play dead, i got too good
Method acting shades of red, i misunderstood
But the blood was real, you bled me dry,
dont tell me how to die this is my life
Only wanted me on stage in your design
Broke my legs to feel success
Watch my act in sunday best
Little love, no love confess
cant begin to fix this mess
Taught me how to play dead, i got too good
Method acting shades of red, i misunderstood
But the blood was real, you bled me dry,
dont tell me how to die this is my life
Why do you only love me when you’re making me cry?
[Intro]
Yo, welcome to the shadows,
Where the bold and the brazen play their battles. But beware,
'cause in this game,
Arrogance and pride come with a price to claim.
(The beat intensifies, building anticipation for the first verse)
[Verse]
In the shadows, where the arrogant roam,
Ego so big, it's like a throne.
They walk with swagger, heads held high,
Thinking they're kings, ruling the sky.
[Pre-Chorus]
In the heart of the night, the shadows grow deep,
Where arrogance reigns and vengeance takes its leap.
But beneath the surface, there's a truth to find,
In the echoes of ego, the humble will shine.
[Chorus]
Shadows of ego, lurking in the night,
Fueling their vengeance, ready for the fight.
Confidence overflowing, pride on display,
In the shadows of ego, they're here to stay.
[Verse]
Driven by revenge, they plot their schemes,
No room for mercy, in their wicked dreams.
Their hearts blackened by bitter spite,
They'll do whatever it takes to win the fight.
[Pre-Chorus]
But nah, them sock gnomes wildin'
Taking my pretties, got me eye-rollin'
Like c'mon bruh, this is
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
But in the silence, a whisper of doubt,
Can they keep this up, can they keep their clout?
In the
she is the only thing i can place
the only one i can make any
sense of; sensing her drifting
the cliches i could vomit
desperately urging to make tangible
the feeling of having a best friend
she assumes the form of my
mother, my father, ex boyfriends
the hospital workers who helped
when I was sick and left once they
proclaimed i was not.
I was not well when I met her
but i knew and i know how i loved her
i knew the boys who who had hurt her
i know i partook in the hurting and how
she hurt me further, how we ended
separate, unglued, and unraveled
from yarn of the blankets we curated
together
together was once, but when twice came around we had lost all our wholeness
i think we were both christ, likewise we became our own judas
id like to think she doesn’t hate me either
Verse 1:
Lucid as dreams, yet as real as threats,
In the deep blue, the orca sets—
Killer, friend, then killer again,
We tiptoe on paths where daisies fend.
Chorus:
Watch the shadows play in the depths of Hades,
Where somber flames cleanse the darkest of faeries.
From gods to bones, from babes to fiends,
The finest whiskey hides the fires unseen.
Verse 2:
Blooms that aren’t fruits, nor venom, nor vice,
No serpents, no sirens, just cold, icy dice.
Treading a line where truth and myth merge,
Lost in a dance, an existential purge.
Bridge:
Men will chase sins as dogs chase their tails,
Bound by nature, old habits prevail.
Doting on shadows, grasping at straws,
Finding solace in every flaw.
Outro:
There’s no fire to see, but the burn feels real,
In the quiet of night, it’s all we can feel.
Chasing echoes of a ball, of sins old as time,
In this melody, find the rhythm and rhyme.
Verse 1:
Pain equated with pleasure, they claim online,
Marks of ownership, on tender skin they sign.
Forever love carved out in scars and burns,
Playing roles twisted, as the dark tide turns.
Chorus:
With screams that feed the dreams of a covert beast,
In the shadows, he styles himself a dark Romeo at least.
Ripping through the fabric of consent and will,
Turning love into a hunt, the innocent to kill.
Verse 2:
Clay pigeons shot for sport, just practice for the game,
Shattered discs, shattered lives, it’s all the same.
Actresses on screens, echo real cries ignored,
What happens when the applause can’t be restored?
Bridge:
Is murder consensual if it's wrapped as a joke?
Does laughing at pain wash away the smoke?
Abuse veiled as devotion, in a twisted guise,
Underneath the laughter, something evil lies.
Outro:
Questioning the lines between pleasure and pain,
In a world that watches, then turns away again.
Will we stand up and change the final score,
Or let silence reign, just as before?
Verse 1:
Trains rush by under the dark sky,
Black and empty, it hangs so high.
Cold air brushes against my face,
Whispers of wind, a ghostly embrace.
Chorus:
There’s an image of you, it won’t fade away,
Stalks me like shadows where the lonely trains play.
It searches my soul then grips my cold hands,
Left here with memories in the night’s chilling strands.
Verse 2:
Each passing train stirs the air,
My stomach flips in the desolate glare.
Rush of the night, straight to my head,
Torn between living and thoughts best unsaid.
Bridge:
Is it the thrill or a call to the void?
Exhilaration or a soul nearly destroyed?
Temptation’s whisper, a perilous flirt,
With the edge of forever or a return to the dirt.
Outro:
Maybe I’d be better, or maybe just gone,
As trains keep flashing from dusk until dawn.
In the rush and the roar, I find my release,
A moment of peace or a final cease.
Last night a thought slipped through my hands
It danced on the edge, a fleeting chance
Lingered on my tongue, begging to be free
Now it's lost somewhere inside of me
Chorus:
I saw a clock forget to turn, its hands fell down
Time stood still, a silent town
They told me it's better to let some things go
Memories blur like snow on a window
Verse 2:
Your face, a puzzle I can't complete
Hazel eyes, a beard, a memory deplete
Echoes of my name in empty halls
Fading fast, until nothing recalls
Bridge:
Flashbacks of football fields, movie nights
Dawn's early light at the leisure site
Laughter in the showers, echoes of fun
Now I'm searching for what's long been gone
Verse 3:
I remember the fights, the tears, the screams
But the thought I lost? It haunts my dreams
A mind playing games it doesn't want to win
The price of forgetting feels like a sin
Outro:
Settled in the shadows of doubt and deceit
I'm labeled a liar, my truths incomplete
Yet tonight, I'll close my eyes, try once more
To find the thought that escaped before
Your poem paints a powerful and stark image of institutional control and personal autonomy. Here’s how it could be transformed into indie rock/folk lyrics, maintaining the intensity and message:
Verse 1:
My body’s not mine, it’s a state-owned shell
Locked away, a story they’ll never tell
Four walls, mesh windows, a whitewash cell
Blue-clad wardens, my freedom they quell
Chorus:
Goodbye to the crude cuts of the lobotomy age
Now, shadows dance with promethazine's haze
Sedatives masked as a healer’s sage
Hired hands grip youth in a relentless cage
Verse 2:
The arms that confine, pretend to cure
In this hold, my mind stays sure
Though they claim the locks on my cage are pure
My body remains theirs, of this I’m sure
[chanted]
Bridge:
Declared free, yet nothing's truly mine
Echoes of a self, stripped by design
Invisible chains, legacy of the benign
A silent surrender, crossed with a line
Outro:
Even in freedom, ownership's a lie
In this borrowed skin, under their watchful eye
My essence whispers a defiant cry
Still mine alone, till the day I die
Verse 1:
There’s a sacrificial tone to a day that’s good
Fades like a shadow in a dimming wood
Craving the days when youth was a cape
Nights washed clean, in dreams we'd escape
Verse 2:
Now life spins round like a record scratched
Weeks blur past, each day mismatched
I’ll watch the clock, its promises tight
Or steal away to my haven in the moonlight
Chorus:
Salvation stumbles through my mind now and then
Sin wraps tight, in my bones it will pen
Lost in a wasteland, yet dreams come to play
Pulling me deep into reverie's sway
Verse 3:
Wishing for eyes, to see more than I know
A seraph’s disguise, in the truths that they show
Perhaps I've seen too much, or maybe not enough
Yet eyes that gaze might also rebuff
Bridge:
Malaise whispers early, taunting my drive
Idleness reigns, yet I strive to survive
Mind, body, soul—let’s merge and then dine
On apathy’s feast, self-demolition divine
Outro:
A call to myself, to tear down to reform
In the quiet decay, a new self to be born
I guess I didn't know you like I thought I did,
Everything we planned, and it amounts to this.
Remember that night, you swore I’m the love of your life?
And all I could say was "yeah right."
I’m over pretending that I'm missing you,
Or acting like I'm needing him.
I'm doing just fine, if you're wondering,
Yeah, I'm alright,
Laughing over my losses tonight.
El
Oh
Em
El
Laughing over my losses
El
Oh
Em
El
Double-decker bus, taller than his shattered pride,
Haven't roamed these streets since the night we said goodbye.
City lights sparkle best under the veil of night,
But honey, I’m the sun, nothing beats my light.
It’s been so long, London,
Since I walked this ground,
I’m here, but not to stay.
So long, London,
Just passing through the crowds,
Here to say hello
then i’ll be on my way
The pen in my hand bleeds
Black ink seeps deep in the page
I'm begging him, "Please,
Just stay beyond the talking stage”
But he says he's too fucked up,
And we should just give up,
I tell him, "Darling, join the club."
In my haven, certified, where secrets hide,
The Tortured Poets Department,
I’ll stay and hide,enjoy the ride,
While deep down inside, you know it
You missed your chance with the tortured poets
Miami beaches
these lessons in love you teach,
This feeling
it's something I’ll never let out of my reach.
They said grass is greener on some other side,
But why chase green when here the ocean tides
Carry the blues of Florida, deep and wide?
The reds of your jersey catch my eye,
And all I see is Florida, where my heart lies
He never liked my hometown
When he left I broke down
My baby said goodbye
I said good riddance
Guess a small town girls
Too little for his ambition
I’ll be back in a fortnight
Not gonna call or write
I might dance about all night
Maybe I won't see you in a fortnight
And maybe that's alright
In hindsight
(Verse 1 - Noah Kahan)
In the quiet of the morning, I'm waking up alone,
Sunlight filters through the curtains, but my heart's not home.
Pictures on the wall, they tell a story of the past,
But the silence in this room, it's hitting me so fast.
(Verse 2 - Briston Maroney)
I'm stumbling through the day, with clouds inside my head,
Trying to find the words, but they're lost and left unsaid.
Every corner that I turn, it feels like I'm alone,
In a world that's moving fast, but I'm standing still, unknown.
(Chorus - Both)
Oh, the weight of these emotions, it's pulling me down,
In the depths of my despair, I'm trying not to drown.
But I'll keep holding on, to the hope that's deep inside,
In the echoes of our voices, let our fears subside.
(Verse 3 - Noah Kahan)
I'm staring at the ceiling, as the night begins to fall,
Counting all the reasons, why I can't escape it all.
Every whispered conversation, echoes in my mind,
But the answers that I seek, are so hard to find.
(Verse 4 - Briston Maroney)
I'm walking through the streets, with shadows by my side,
Trying to find a place, where I can run and hide.
But every step I take, it leads me back to you,
In a world that's so uncertain, you'r
(Verse 1)
Driving through the night,
Semi truck filled with sugar delights,
Endless road ahead,
No destination to be led.
(Chorus)
Lost in the beauty of the unknown,
Faces passing, familiar yet grown,
A chance encounter, a fleeting sight,
In the stillness of the dreamy night.
(Verse 2)
Ashton Heitz, a friend from afar,
Returning home, like a shooting star,
With his mother by his side,
A moment shared in this dream's tide.
(Chorus)
Lost in the beauty of the unknown,
Faces passing, familiar yet grown,
A chance encounter, a fleeting sight,
In the stillness of the dreamy night.
(Bridge)
Plans shift, paths diverge,
A forest whispers, a silent urge,
Duty beckons, the road calls,
In this surreal dreamland, as time falls.
(Verse 3)
Navigating lanes, a daring feat,
Dodging cars, heartbeats fleet,
Reaching the truck, a sense of relief,
In this surreal dream, beyond belief.
(Chorus)
Lost in the beauty of the unknown,
Faces passing, familiar yet grown,
A chance encounter, a fleeting sight,
In the stillness of the dreamy night.
(Outro)
Moving forward, into the unknown,
Dreams unravel, seeds are sown,
In this symphony of the mind's delight,
A journey unfolds, in the depths of the night.
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
wo tera muskurana,muskurake yun palken jhukaana,
Fir ek aada se yun sharma jana.
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
Baat karte huae tera hansna or bas haste chale jana,
Mere dil ko bada sakun deta tha tera yun baaten karte chale jana,
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
Tere aane se pehle he ho jata tha ehsaas tere aane ka,
Fir samne aate he tera wo mujse najren milana,
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
Jab bhi dekhti thi tu yun mud mud k mujhe,
Meri khusi ka rehta nahin tha koi dhikana,
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
Wo tera baaaten kisi or se karte huae ishaara mujhe kar jaana,
Yun mujhe baar baar dekh k tere wo mujhe tadpana,
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
Tere jaane k waqt tera wo mayus ho kar mujse kuch keh jana,
Or mera haste huae tujhe bye kehna fir najren ek tak khidki pe lagana,
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
Kabhi agar mein na milun din bhar k intezar k baad tujhe,
To Agle din tera wo isharon isharon mein aapne gusse ka ehsaas karwana,
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
Tere pichhe aana or tera sadak par chalte huae mujhe dekh kar yun ruk jana,
Fir saath chalte chalte baaten karte huae tujhe ghar tak chood k aana,
Bhahut yaad aata hai,
[Verse]
In the black of night
Whispers haunting my mind
A secret desire
Buried deep inside
Oh
These forbidden dreams
They're tearing me apart
I try to resist
But they grip onto my heart
[Verse 2]
Like a flame in the wind
Flickering so bright
Yearning for a touch
In the silence of the night
These forbidden dreams
They never seem to fade
Aching to be real
As the barricades are laid
[Chorus]
Oh
These forbidden dreams
They dance in the firelight
Burning so fiercely
They ignite the night
Where reality collides with the dreams we find
In the depths of our souls
Where secrets unwind
[Verse]
I'm walking down these empty streets
In the dead of night
Where the shadows meet
The city's asleep
But my mind's alive
Searching for answers
Trying to survive
[Verse 2]
I see the flickering lights in the distance
Guiding me through this persistent resistance
With guitar in hand and a heart on fire
I sing my songs
Letting my soul transpire
[Chorus]
Oh
There's fire in the moonlight
Burning bright
As I strum my guitar
Sing into the night
With every chord
I find my own way
In this quiet indie folk rock display
Tentu, berikut adalah lirik sebuah lagu dengan estetika yang menggambarkan keindahan alam dan perjalanan spiritual:
---
(Verse 1)
Di bawah langit biru yang tak berujung
Aku melangkah dengan langkah yang tak terhingga
Matahari menyapa dengan sinar hangatnya
Di antara pepohonan yang menari-nari
(Chorus)
Jelajahi dunia di atas sayap mimpi
Menuju tempat di mana waktu tak berarti
Dengarkan angin bernyanyi lagu kebebasan
Di antara bunga-bunga yang tak terhitung
(Verse 2)
Di lereng gunung yang tertutup salju
Aku merasakan kedamaian dalam hening
Mencari makna di balik cahaya fajar
Di alam yang membisikkan rahasia
(Chorus)
Jelajahi dunia di atas sayap mimpi
Menuju tempat di mana waktu tak berarti
Dengarkan angin bernyanyi lagu kebebasan
Di antara bunga-bunga yang tak terhitung
(Bridge)
Di sungai yang mengalir perlahan
Aku menemukan cermin dalam diri
Mengungkapkan keindahan yang tersembunyi
Di dalam jiwa yang selalu terbangun
(Chorus)
Jelajahi dunia di atas sayap mimpi
Menuju tempat di mana waktu tak berarti
Dengarkan angin bernyanyi lagu kebebasan
Di antara bunga-bunga yang tak terhitung
(Outro)
Di bawah langit biru yang tak berujung
Aku melangkah dengan langkah yang tak terhingga
(Verse 1)
Down in the holler, where the fireflies glow,
I found me a love that made my heart overflow.
Not a girl nor a boy, but a brush so fine,
With bristles so soft, it made me feel so fine.
(Chorus)
Oh, my sweet toothbrush, with your handle so stout,
You clean up my world, without a single doubt.
From morning to night, you're my shining star,
Falling in love with you, ain't all that bizarre.
(Verse 2)
In the morning dew, as the sun starts to rise,
You're there by my side, right before my eyes.
With minty fresh kisses, you greet me each day,
In your gentle embrace, all my worries sway.
(Chorus)
Oh, my sweet toothbrush, with your handle so stout,
You clean up my world, without a single doubt.
From morning to night, you're my shining star,
Falling in love with you, ain't all that bizarre.
(Bridge)
Some folks may laugh, at the love we share,
But they just don't know, how much you care.
You scrub away troubles, like a faithful friend,
With you by my side, I'll love 'til the end.
(Chorus)
Oh, my sweet toothbrush, with your handle so stout,
You clean up my world, without a single doubt.
From morning to night, you're my shining star,
Falling in love with you, ain't all that bizarr
[Verse]
In the mist of Whispering Meadows
A tale unfolds from lips so fine
With a gentle lisp
A British grace
The singer's voice paints the scene
[Verse 2]
Like whispers upon the wind
Notes gently play
Carried away
Through the rolling hills and fields
The lisp adds charm to every word
[Chorus]
Whispering Meadows
Oh so serene
The lisp
The accent
A perfect scene
Indie folk melody
Soft and sweet
In this world
Our hearts find retreat
(Verse 1)
In different time zones, we reside,
Separated by distance far and wide.
But in my heart, you're always near,
Your laughter echoes, crystal clear.
You're from a world I've never known,
A place of wonder that you've shown.
With every word, a new adventure unfurls,
In your presence, my spirit twirls.
(Chorus)
Oh, how I wish I could see you more,
Across oceans, I'd eagerly soar.
But someday soon, we'll break the divide,
And together, we'll let our dreams collide.
(Verse 2)
Through screens, we share our days,
In pixels, your smile forever stays.
Though miles apart, our souls entwine,
In this cosmic dance, your light shines.
You're the compass guiding my way,
In the vast expanse, you're my ray.
With every message, a bridge we build,
Across time zones, our love is skilled.
(Chorus)
Oh, how I wish I could see you more,
Across oceans, I'd eagerly soar.
But someday soon, we'll break the divide,
And together, we'll let our dreams collide.
(Bridge)
In my dreams, I hold you tight,
Underneath the stars, our hearts ignite.
We'll roam the world, hand in hand,
Exploring every corner, every strand.
(Chorus)
Oh, how I wish I could see you more,
Across oceans, I'd eagerly soar.
But so
(Verse 1)
Halfway down the road, there was a man that they called vile,
The only thing they know is that he never shows a smile.
But the lonely man on down the road had been trying for a while,
The kids who run on by his house are simply juvenile.
(Verse 2)
The man, let’s call him Dan, oh, he was born in ‘25,
His momma told him “son they’re gonna take away your drive.”
The year was ‘44 and they had sent him off to fight,
Oh the things he saw would haunt him every night.
(Chorus)
Under the street lane light,
He thinks about the life he’s lived,
The people touched, the friends he’s missed.
His final ride, his last first kiss.
But under the street lane light,
There’s no one there, his loved ones faded.
Thoughts are lonely, time is dated.
The street lane light is overrated.
