Songs For My Band

[DarioScotto]

Hello,

These are songs I've written for my band. They can be read almost like a book, meaning they are in order, song 1 happened to me first, song 2 second, etc. etc.

Keep in mind that these are for a Metalcore band with Post-Hard core influences.

Some bands I take influence from are (if you want to listen and get an idea of them):
Parkway Drive, Chiodos, Bring Me The Horizon, The Devil Wears Prada, Blessthefall, Autopilot Off. (A few of those bands are actually Christian bands too.)


And my life is my inspiration, lol.

*There is a few cussing in the songs, don't think that every band in the genre I listen to cusses, a few do, and it's just how my songs came out; with raw emotion.

Btw, I'm not really an angry kid, I'm actually more on the hyper/shy side. My songs are a way for me to let out my emotion.


Song 1

Drown in your sea of so called love
I’ll do my best to make you realize
Drop into the black abyss

King of the storming seas
I wish to bring to you
A crashing tidal wave
Of my despise for you

Feel the crash of your waves
As they collapse upon your corpse

Drown in your sea of so called love
I’ll do my best to make you (realize)
Drop into the black (abyss)

And when your body is washed upon the shore
I’ll rescue you with embracing arms

But if you can’t relinquish your crown and treasures
Then forever hold your place as King of the storming seas.


Song 2
Spew this weakness out
Onto the cold tiled floor
Till you can’t regurgitate anymore

Rid yourself of this illness
This parasite
It clings to you
It feeds from you
As you feed from others

Cleanse your diet of their agony
You live for their demise
You’re no better than the rest

Die
Murder your sense of
Die
Murder your sense of
Die
Murder your sense of
Die
Murder your sense of pride

Elitism, Vanity, Clones, Miscreants, Narcissism, Arrogance, Superiority, Megalomania

Your egoism is a false ecstacy!


Song 3 (Written by my friend who is the second vocalist)
What were you thinking?
Who the f--k said I wanted
To be your friend, just a friend?
Nothing more.
You assume too much.
Hidden behind fake smiles
And empty lies lived the person
I wanted you to be.
Disappointment overwhelms
But hidden behind, I love you.



Song 4
Life is a frail concept
Choices
Burdened with consequences
We are the masters of our actions
We are the masters of our graves
The candle’s flame extinguished
The light of life gone in a flash, in an instant
When we least expect it
Cherish your life, likewise cherish your loved ones


Song 5
If I’m a b--tard then what are you?
Seems to me that you’re a hypocrite
I remember that night, from then they have all been the same
My childhood smile, screamed right off my face
Why won’t you forgive? I wish I could forget
Happiness used to be within us
Now the time is wasted searching for a moment of peace
Firearms are cocked and pins are pulled
Tension swells to the point of break
Each action taken is formula for disaster
Nothing can be done right, nothing can be fixed
I haven’t lost hope; maybe your promises will become realities
But for now
This is my revenge, screaming in your ear
The loudest silence you’ll ever hear
Beneath this grin lies a glare;
Starving for understanding
And you ask why? Because you haven’t f---ing tried

Song 6
You broke my f---ing heart.

Seeds of bitterness sewn into my soul,
When the season came, they flowered.

Choking on tears brought a vomitous feeling as my innards winced from the pain.
I sew my lips to contain the promise,
Peel back my skin to reveal confusion flowing through my veins,
Rip apart my chest to expose the bruised heart within,
Rotting away into the midnight hours,
I’ve been dead; I’m a walking carcass,
Cold since the day I died.

Count to me the secrets you hid.
Was I really the only thing that made sense?
Did I really shoot a bullet through your heart?
Did you really hope its wound would never heal?
I have difficulty believing this wasn’t a play of words.
My trust was always shaken like the ground beneath me.
Cold since the day I died.

My heart is dead
But I will always love you
My promise will go unbroken.


Song 7
I’ll never be the same
I live as a shadow of myself
Amongst the living
Free to move through both worlds
I am a ghost! I am a f---ing ghost!
Why?!
Your eyes deceived me
And your lies killed me
I’ll never be the f---ing same


Song 8
We’re dancing the night away
We’re dancing on our f---ing graves
Your criticizing eyes
Watch us live our lives
And I just love it when you call us immature
Just kidding
B--ch (These last 3 parts of the song is kinda meant as a joke, not hateful in anyway)
You sit there taunting and judging
Don’t you dare tell us how to live our lives
If you were a friend you would accept us for who we are
This world is a lie
We’re dancing the night away
We’re dancing on our f---ing graves
And I wouldn’t have it any other way


Song 9
We’re slipping away
And I knew everything
And now I know nothing
You had me wasting away
The times you didn’t listen, tell me, love me
I always knew it but I refused to believe my conscience
I remember your laugh, your smile, your eyes,
And it kills me.


Song 10
We were living in a lie
You filled my lungs with love
And like a punch to the chest
You left me gasping in the frozen air
Those lips I kissed were my demise
Now I carry a broken love in my hands
Pick these petals from the wilted rose
She loves me,
She loves me not
And like that rose,
You represented something that would
Eventually wilt as time went on
Take this knife and carve me the truth
Now leave me to bleed
You took my heart right from my chest
Then dropped it to the ocean depths
I want back what’s mine
And Darling, I’ve got to say
Maybe,
You weren’t worth this pain
You bring to me



So there yah go.

I have one more written by the second vocalist and I, but its more of a joke song filled with very crude humor that I don't think I should put on here. lol


So any constructive criticism would be nice. And maybe some ideas for melodies, nice singing parts. I don't want all of it to be screaming, thats where the post-hard core comes in.

I would really appreciate any input...please.

[Dann 1 Burk]

I dont know man. Alot of it was very half and half.
good demonstration of your ability to insight, but I question your motives.
I would try to under stand music in a light that makes other people relate to your emotions, rather then describes how your situation feels to you.

[DarioScotto]

Yah I have noticed that I do tend to write my lyrics in a way that I can only relate. Maybe if I didn't write so much on a situation, but more the emotion. These were my first songs, sure I did a few drafts of each, and I only wrote maybe 3 others before these (which were utter crap, I can't believe I even wrote them. lol). So yah, I would say I like what I'm doing, bu I need to make it so that people can relate better.

But what did you mean you question my motives? Like... you wonder what drove me to each situation in the song? Or you don't fully see the emotion I'm trying to portray.


Either way thanks for the input. It sure helped.

[DT Chris]

Nonsense. Keep up the good work and keep writing those lyrics.

There are no fucking rules. Write the lyrics you want, for who you want, the way you want.

[Jeez]
