I have written 7 songs in the past 2 weeks. I have been away in Marin County, my old hometown, and then Arizona for 10 days for a Catholic retreat. But anyways, 7 songs. Let's look at these ones too...
Cloak of Lies:
This was an old song of mine that I wrote last year. I scrapped the original version and re-did the whole song. It's way more powerful than my last version of it, and a lot longer too. I'm really happy with it.
Unsettleing Dreams:
About bad dreams, it focuses on two dreams that I have had recently. The first dream, and first verse is me nailed to a cross. Written all over the cross are the sins that I have comitted in my life, so I am nailed to the cross of my own sins (line from the song!) and how my friends and family are all around me, just looking at the ground. I try to speak, but no words come out, I try to break free, but I can't. The second verse is a dream that I had, where I was in a dark room with blood all over the place. I looked at my hands, which were splattered with blood. I lowered my hands from my eyes and watched my lover die. As she died, her blood stained my hands. Yea, very bad dream. The chorus and bridge are just things that I made up.
Heretic Believing:
This is a nonsense song. My band is called the Heretic Believer, and this song shows the dual nature of the band. The first verse shows us as faithful and prayerful kids, loving and praising God. The next verse is about how we're the monster under the bed, the demon in the closet and the blade that gets dragged across your wrist. It also says that I need to rip apart my pathetic life. Yup. The chorus talks about how these two elements are clashing together, not making any sense. How I can't stand on my own feet, how people may not believe in us, but that we believe in them. The bridge is totally schizophrenic, with lines like "Love me, forsake me! Embrace me, hate me!" and the like.
The One I Love: ******** You (A Stalker's Love Song Pt. 3):
This is all about forgetting someone and moving on. I have metaphorically slit my wrists and drained myself of emotion. I am no longer a slave to her, looking for a hug or a kiss. The really sad thing is, that I know she feels the same way about me. I can see it in her eyes, the way she stares at me, the way she talks to me. But then she goes off and flirts madly with other guys. I have become numb to love, and am giving up on it. This is the song in a nutshell. I think it has some pretty profound lyrics too, like "No longer a slave trying to get your love. ******** getting a kiss from you, or even a hug" and "So now I'm over and done, this was out of wack. Even if you say 'I love you' I'm not coming back." I'm moving on from my romantic feelings for her, and I'm done with love, at least for right now. Until God brings someone into my life.
Fair Warning:
Exactly what the title says, this song is a warning. More of a poem than a song, it is still really powerful. The song is saying how while I gave up on loving this girl romantically, she is still my friend and my sister, and I still care about her. The first time someone ******** up with her, does her any harm or misdeed, I will snap. I'm very protective of my friends, especically those that are girls. The last lines of the song are "So watch your step, be cautious, don't let love be fading, cause when you do, I'll be where you least expect it, waiting..."
Don't ******** with my friends. You ******** with them, you have a massive problem with me.
Dirty Blood:
Another nonsense song, about someone who likes to ******** with people and their lives. Because they have so much spite in their heart, I think it makes their blood dirty and that it can eventually be smelled. That's the basic thought of the song. It has some hardcore rapping in it, lots of rhymes and some really cool lyrics like, "Questions with no answers. That heart in your chest, I call a cancer serving to only spread spite through your veins." Yea...
Venomous Kiss:
Another re-vamp of an old song. I really like this new version though. Lots of imagery, lots of cool things. I'm really happy with it.
As always, if you'd like to see the lyrics to a song listed above, or any of my other songs, just send me a message and I'll send ya lyrics.
