 Topic: I知 still working on lyrics...
Posted: April 12 2005 at 01:11 |
Yeah, I'm still honing my skills on lyrics...
Here's the latest one that I think is somewhat good enough to hear your opinions. 
OBSERVATION: A)THE DYING WORLD B)THE SILENT FALL C)THE ENIGMA/REPRISAL D)WE WILL FIGHT
(B.Waye)
Figure a:
Lesser god extends hand
Penetrating youth
Shadows of war
Overcome the bright side
things to come
Things to lose
Impending on creator
Constellations glowing
Meditating on thoughts
Ideas unthought by us
Unknown to us
Contemplating
Fates intertwining
Spiralling into each other
Like the fountains of an ancient temple
Spouting forth pure life
From something as dead as years past
Hand that feeds pulls away
Piercing trust
Clouds of rain
Thunder flash of a thousand beams of light
Wielding the banner
For red march of nations
This is the Silent Fall.
Figure b:
There's an emptyness in your eyes
A hollowness in those darkened stains
I can see the echoes of a thousand labours
Frozen in the state of present tense
The tension between us
Like two reactors
Feeding from each other
In those hungry eyes
Silent Fall
Nameless
Quiet
Calm
Do we know what's coming?
Visage of god?
Wrath of effortless paw?
Ever-flowing water disturbed?
Rippling towards the rim
Spilling over
Over the edge
Silent Fall
Nameless
Quiet
Calm
Do we know what's coming?
Hand that disturbs
Life that spouts from the crack
On surface of man.
Figure c:
Lesser god extends hand
Hand that feeds pulls away.
Figure d:
We will live
The way that we want to live
We will breathe
The way that we want to breathe
We will learn
The way that we want to learn
We will fight
The way that we want to fight
END
So whataya think? Did I get any better at all?

Well I'm not sure relevance this post serves in this forum. We need
like a "Musicians Forum" that is seperate from "Musical Instruments".
Regardless, I think your lyrics were quite fine, it evoked a lot of
interesting imagery which I hope you will reflect in your music (this
being the essence of prog.)
Right on

Silent Spring is a book about insecticides.

Thanks for a good laugh!!! You're right. Is it Rachel
Carlson? Still laughing.
Interesting lyrics. I like the imagery. I know it's a
concept piece, but I'm a little dense, could you tell the
story, progbassist?

Well, it's actually about a couple of subjects.
it's kinda hard to explain, but it is, overall, about how we think we are the highest beings on this planet, how we start wars for basically no reason except for gaining more useless land (lesser god extends hand, penetrating youth, shadows of war), and that there could be higher powers at work, that we could never even dream of.
I dunno, how to exactly give a good explanation, but I guess that's as good as I can do. :P
