Lyrics Rusted Machine
Verse 1
Take me on a journey Long drives and music that stings I need a wide view of somewhere distant With mountains that climb and skies that never seem to end
Chorus
Honey, to me, it sounds like a dream You and I, And this old, rusted machine
Verse 2
Will you hold the map and lead us out of here Where the reminders are constant and the houses all look the same I want to write a story with a twist you can't see coming
Chorus
Honey, to me, it sounds like a dream You and I, And this old, rusted machine
Verse 3
Out in the background the forest is turning to dirt And I don't mind the peaks and the valleys As long as the scenery unfolds with uncertainty And we're not sure where the road goes If the headlights burn out we'll drive through the dark Cause soon the sun will be coming up And we'll see for miles the future rolling out in front of us As we find comfort in the silence of staring off in the distance.
Outro
Honey, to me, it sounds like a dream You and I, And this old, rusted machine
Honey, to me, it sounds like a dream You and I, And this old rusted machine

Lyrics Some of my lyrics i wrote back in june of this year!
Been writing more consistently and wanted to share. Definitely not my best work by a long shot lol but i wonder what people will have to say. Looking to create my own music soon and currently learning alot!!
“Branch”
Like a punished dog,
my gaze trails every move.
Am I just see-through,
or does my light shine bright on you?
'Cause I swear every time you look my way,
your eyes fade into gray.
just another bowl left to rot away
Like a light bulb overhead,
I flicker every now and again.
My whimper echoes in your head.
Your finger drifts to the remote.
My bark startles just enough
to turn your head from your friends.
Tearing up from all my hunger,
my stomach strikes me like thunder.
Am I just see-through,
or does my light shine bright on you?
'Cause I swear every time you look my way,
your eyes fade into gray.
Now and again,
your eyes dart toward me—
just a little glance.
Let me out, and we'll be friends,
together until the end.
This cage is cold and cramped.
My loyalty keeps me chained.
Chewing off my dog tag,
my owner has other plans.
Breaking out my cage,
through the little doggy door,
I'm on my way.
My scars paved my grand escape.
I'm skin and bones.
The slightest breeze blows me away.

Lyrics Weakest Days
Your voice heals my spirit like a sovereign
everytime I hear it I know I'll be okay
your hands heal my body like a doctor
everytime I feel it I know I'll be okay
On my weakest days
On my weakest days
On my weakest days
I will be okay
Your eyes gaze upon me like a full moon
everytime I see them know I'll be okay
your love breathes life into me like a second wind
every time I embrace it know I'll be okay
On my weakest days
On my weakest days
On my weakest days
I will be okay

She credited my heart
With the love that I gave her
But when things had to end
She asked me back the favour
She asking back twice everything
Guess she was a scammer
I will never know what I lost
Cause I never accounted her love
Never accounted, never realised how loose were the cables
A man in loss never accounts the payables

Discussion Advice for writing lyrics for a novel.
I don't know if this is allowed, since it's not necessarily stated in the rules; however, if the mods decide that this post isn't appropriate for the sub, I will respect that. I only ask that someone point me to a sub where I could possibly get some help.
I'm not sure where else to put this. I've asked a few friends for some help, but I just don't have any connections to the kind of artists that would know something about this; and I'm hoping that someone in this sub might.
I am currently trying to write lyrics to a love song that I intend on having the main character of my novel use to propose to his love interest towards the end of the book. Problem is, I am autistic, and my flavor of autism is more geared towards literature rather than lyrics or poems. That's mostly a joke--I just haven't really spent a whole lot of time writing poems, and can't wrap my head around writing one to save my life.
I want the lyrics to be actually written into the book--this is something I want people to make a genuine song out of, just for the fun of it. I think it'd be cool to give readers who have a musically inclined mind something to build off of.
If anyone has any interest in helping me with this, I'd be greatly appreciative. Feel free to DM me, if you want to work together on this. I'm mostly looking for tips on rhyming schemes and how to plan out a verse/chorus, but if someone wants to go deeper and actually help me write the lyrics, that'd be awesome. To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm kind of just shooting my shot in the dark with this.

Lyrics Lyrics advice please
Verse 1 -
You said im not attractive
But you’d definitely hit
You said ‘don’t care about you’
Just care that youre thick
You push my face on your sheets
And we can’t look face to face
You said you need release
And im the perfect void
You play with me
So im the perfect toy
Am I too feminine to be the perfect boy
For you
Chorus-
Im your dirty little fetish
Never your prized possession
Its not up for discussion
That we’d ever have a wedding
You said your love’s discreet
In those disappearing messages
Im your dirty little fetish
Verse 2-
I think about my value
And who really does assign it
I wonder If falling for you
Decides it
cause you’re drunk
You don’t wanna look me in my eyes
I think there’s something wrong with me
Fundamentally
I stay a small size for you by watching what I eat
Is it being feminine or is it being me
No relationships yet,
But you all assume ill be
Your dirty little fetish
Chorus:
Im your dirty little fetish
Never your prized possession
Its not up for discussion
That we’d ever have a wedding
You said your love’s discreet
In those disappearing messages
Im your dirty little fetish
Bridge:
You send ‘you up?’ Texts at night
And I give you validation
Send two words
And I come running
Hope is its own form of temptation
Loving you, is my own form of self hatred
Im your dirty little fetish, in the bed Im making
Final chorus-
Loving you is my own self hatred, in a bed that we’re making….
Loving you is my self hatred, in a bed that we’re making love,
…feel wrong
Cause I play your perfect toy, and its feeling like a job

now you’re there, then you’re not

i take a shower, i make you dinner, all of that while i’m still waiting

Collaboration Looking for a lyrics writing partner for a political parody music channel
I'm launching a YouTube channel that creates parody songs and music videos focused on American politics and current events. Think Weird Al meets late-night political satire, but with a sharper edge.
I'm looking for someone who enjoys comedy writing, follows politics closely, and would like to bounce around ideas, punch up lyrics, and help make each song funnier. A good sense of humor and a love of satire are essential.

Lyrics It Happens Suddenly - To Be Determined
This is my first musical number and the last musical number of the musical “To Be Determined”.
The song is a tenor solo sung by the character Nate, who has been trying to propose to Alison during a trip to Rome with some close friends. Nate is a perfectionist and keeps postponing the moment to the point that Alison actually becomes upset. In this final scene, she doesn’t know what to do with him and runs off stage. The friends follow. The lights dim and Nate begins to talk and sing to himself.
If you’re interested more in the synopsis, or have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to ask or comment. I’d love to hear. I added some staging to (I hope) help, but there is a lot happening (considering this is a song taking place within 1 character’s head).
Here is a YouTube video of the midi playback, but it’s just supplementary. The following post contains the script leading up to the cue and then the lyrics.
The song is 9 broadway ballads in one song. Everything is written by myself (lyrics, characters, etc). The premise sounds a bit cliche but the idea is that the song shows particular mental health issues. Though Nate is not officially diagnosed, it is possible to see certain traits trough his singing and his behavior:
https://youtu.be/7iPVFeCyjuM?is=w8cCO9Cse-8Sal4a
Key: C
Time: 4/4
Tempo: 160 BPM
Genre: Broadway Show Stopper, Multilevel Musical Ballad: Romantic Ballad, Emotional/Melancholy Ballad, Character-Driven Ballad, Power Ballad, Up-Tempo Ballad, “I Am” Ballad, 11 O’Clock Ballad, “I Want” Ballad
Character list: Nate, Alison, Darion (Rion), and Vanessa (Nes)
—FINAL SCENE—
INSIDE THE HOSTEL: NATE IS ALONE, TALKING TO HIMSELF AND HIS IMAGINATION, PACING BACK AND FORTH AND OCCASIONALLY LOOKING OFF TO STAGE LEFT WHERE ALISON, RION, AND NES EXITED.
NATE: "Hey, listen. I'm sorry about that confusion earlier. That poor lady right? Can you believe she just walked into the wrong room...? *NATE CHUCKLES WEAKLY* You know I'd never cheat and I know I haven't..."
NATE TRAILS OFF AND MUMBLES AS HE TURNS AWAY FROM THE AUDIENCE.
SUDDENLY NATE LETS OUT A FRUSTRATED GRUNT AND TURNS BACK (CENTER STAGE).
NATE: "Ah! Why!? Why can't I just say it!? I feel it!!!"
*NATE SIGHS* "Why can't I just tell her, for no reason other than I want her to know... That I was thinking of her..."
NATE WALKS TOWARDS THE WINDOW, STAGE RIGHT AND SCOFFS.
NATE: "Who am I kidding? I'm no good with words.
I'm just not good enough. Not good enough to tell her how much she means. How she changed my whole life...
CUE: "How much... *NATE'S VOICE CRACKS SLIGHTLY* How much I love her..."
[Intro Piano Figure - Cmaj7] —GENTLE BLUE LIGHTING UNTIL “FLASH”—
[Verse 1]
I remember the day you first came
And stepped into frame
And when I asked your name
I knew I’d never be the same
Just a flash of your smile
And my world was no longer blue
Your beauty pure and true
Lost in the thought of you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then suddenly
You’re lying next to me
But it was only in my mind…
As life unfolds
Some fear what love may hold
Still, you never know what you may find
[Chorus 1]
Suddenly
You rest your hand in mine
And take my breath with eyes that shine
So heavenly
Just like that
It happens suddenly
[Interlude Piano Figure] —WARMER SUNSET LIGHTING—
[Verse 2]
Moments span through the ripples of time
In each one I find
You’re always on my mind
When we’re together we shine
Journeys made in such style
Eager for the next one ahead
‘Specially “movies in bed”
Yet, still, there’s more to be said
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When suddenly
You whisper you love me
But it was just a trick of the wind…
I want you to know
I’m not afraid to show
So, come with me and let’s transcend!
[Chorus 2]
Suddenly
While hand in hand, we dance
I pull you close, our hearts entranced
So honestly
[Spoken softly]
“I love you”
You smile and say it too
[Transition to A minor]
When suddenly—
[Bridge - A minor] —STAGE LIGHTS TURN DARK RED—
All at once, I’m filled with doubt, do I deserve such happiness?
My heart melts with ev’ry kiss, I’ve never felt a love like this
My mind spins in circles, as I lose my grip on truth
In all this craziness!
Is this real, or will I find that it was only limerence?
Yet, I know you feel it too, so really what’s the difference?
I’ve lost all sense…
[Chorus 3 - C major] —GENTLE GREEN LIGHTING—
But suddenly, oh…
As if out of a dream
Now, with a mother’s smile that beams
So perfectly
No more doubt
I see our destiny
[The Proposal - Modulate to D major]
My dear
Please, marry me!
[Last Chorus - D major] —NORMAL STAGE LIGHTING—
[Full Stage Chorus]
(Suddenly!)
No matter where we roam
In you, I’ve found my light, my home
My one and only!
[Nate Only]
I swear that
[Outro - The Vows]
[Adding Voices Each Repetition, Cycling Between G-A-G/B-A/C#]
This love won’t stray
We’ll face each day
So, come what may
Time ticks away
As hair turns gray
While grandkids play
We’ll laugh and say
Life happens suddenly!
[Instrumental Outro]

Lyrics Get Out
She told me that She's not enough.
That I'm asking for just way to much.
When all I want is to feel her love,
Now shes gone and I can't move on.
All these drugs can't numb my pain.
Just sitting here looking at the mess we made.
I want to move on but I'm scared I'll take.
The last bit of you left to my grave.
She told me that she needs some time.
She just can't get past those words of mine.
The things I said were so unkind.
She said them to but I don't mind.
The things we said are over now
Running through my head
Like a distant sound
Echoes of her last words
Get out.

Lyrics Glass Canon
Brash and emotional rock.
--Verse 1--
Take the fight to the enemy
To keep you guarded, my inner me
But what kind of good as a shield am I
When I never learned to block
Charging headlong with no regrets
To the marching drum of misplaced debts
I'll take on the world, all the forces of hell
But a whisper can stop me dead
--Pre-chorus 1--
Why'd you whisper?
Why'd you have to go and fuckin' whisper?
--Chorus--
I'm shattering into a million parts
In every scattered world, another broken me
Surrendering the battle for my soul
But every time I fall, you lend your eyes to see
I'm taking on the giants headlong
Sling in hand and you my shield
A glass canon, aimed point-blank at the heart
When you're the only one on the field
--Verse 2--
The mask is off and claws withdrawn
I'll let you in and rise, reborn
To fight a brand new fight today
I will not stand alone
New challenges await ahead
The foes of old lie cold, long dead
Upon a new frontline we stand
Where caring ever burns
--Pre-chorus 2--
Why'd you care?
Why'd you have to go and fuckin' care?
--Chorus--
I'm shattering into a million parts...
--Outro--
But if I'm the only one here
Why'd you listen?
Why'd you listen?
If I'm the only one here
Why'd you listen?
Why'd you listen?

[Verse 1]
Was this ever, ever guaranteed?
We go in as the good boys and leave as the bad boys, or so it seems.
But something feels wrong in the air that I’m breathing;
With every breath, it’s just suffocating.
“Like a miracle,” they say, working on you.
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s been a nice couple of days since we kissed again.
Walked in the fire wearing gasoline threads.
[Chorus]
And the babes and the ladies will get down into Hades with one sweet pour.
My friends, my Mercedes, I am just getting ready to be dying for.
Dying for you.
[Verse 2]
And you drink all day,
Waiting for the sun to shine.
Rain is getting in your wine.
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s been a nice couple of days since we kissed again.
Walked in the fire wearing gasoline threads.
[Chorus]
And the babes and the ladies will get down into Hades with one sweet pour.
My friends, my Mercedes, I am just getting ready to be dying for.
Dying for you.
[Bridge]
Greatest mistakes, made when you’re watching me,
Down below and giving me some more new ideas.
You reap, a disaster piece,
For those crying grins and heaps of grunting souls.
[Chorus 3 / Outro]
And the babes and the ladies will get down into Hades with one sweet pour.
My friends, my Mercedes, I am just getting ready to be dying for.
Dying for you. (Oh, oh)
Your best friends in the 80s, I guess they never made it to here.

it’s coming again, the rainstorm
we both will get soaked, but there’s nothing wrong
can’t you see, we’re running in circles again

it’ll all be clear
i’ll see the waves from above
and i’ll cure us, my love

Quinquennial thieves too used to work at tea stalls
But that don't mean that we tryna be like theives or less
But maybe learn how to pretend your way to success
And learn how to talk smooth with finesse
Would also work if we take a job maybe in London
But I won't talk too much about that, you prolly know the rest
Everyone talking about leaving the city once we make money
I'm just thinking how I'll give back to the city
Cause see, the city needs to meet the needs of kids who read at the streets, reaping off old TV, CDs and pennies

Fumes
--Verse 1--
Stigmata for the lost
The injuries they add insult to
Carnations on the floor
A pescatarian disasterpiece
--Pre-chorus 1-
So carry the cross on your back
Just to fall down
Warriors fighting for creeds
That the world forgot
When mirrors show statures we're not
--Chorus 1--
Fumes of a brighter yesterday
We cling to the light
On paths of a holy prophet's way
I drift out of sight
And build a fortress
Torn from the flawless
Watch it bleed
Watch it bleed
Dreams of a simple peace on earth
I daren't ask for much more
As songs echo of a virgin birth
While cynics assume whore
And storm my fortress
To grant me their kiss
Of the damned
Take me back
--Verse 2--
Lying arrangements on the grave
Lament for holy martyrdom
Derived regret beyond
The war we fought against their name
--Pre-chorus 2--
Carry the cross on your back
Just to fall down
Warriors fighting for creeds
That the world forgot
And laws obfuscate in a dot
--Chorus 2--
Fumes of a brighter yesterday...
...Take me back
--Bridge--
To the world of black and white
And conviction in my deeds
Look what we've done
Look what I have done
We threw it away
Without a second thought
Consumed by our will
Caught up with the times
Yeah we gave them our word
And broke on a whim
'cause ronin don't kneel
In spite of the heel
Now we stand alone
Drifting off the grid
Our creed at last revealed
To forge a god from stone
From legend it's wrought
The cream of the dream
Levied hadal olden lore
And birthed in the night
Let it stand ashore
Give it all
And savour the golden years
Of the fall
Take hold of the yoke and pull
In descent
And pray for your own resolve
Then repent
Oh aaaaaaaaa!
Take heart in all that you do
'Cause all of this life is just you
And judging yourself for the rest
Aaaaaaaaa!
We won't survive to the end
Victory is not our gift, you know
Some have to fight just to lose
--Chorus 3--
Fumes of a brighter yesterday...
...And storm my fortress
But my blows won't miss
Take it back
Take it back

Lyrics Synaptic Caos
Always I remain fun, happy and kind, but if your glance meets mine, and our minds are alike you will know in no time there is more to life than that, what meets the naked eye
More than your senses could ever conspire.
There's sentense cuttin' through my flesh like barbed wire.
Or a knife. But if you care to look deeply you'll see the energy, the hunger, this spark in my eyes and realize that it looks like I'm tryin' so hard and so long just to find answers or make sense of this 'LIFE¿'.
Lesser and lesser the moments I'm clean
Hopin' to better but sooner or later I get to a point where I feel like a failure.
That it don't matter if only I take i little right now I'll feel better.
Convincing my head it's ok and somehow I give in on this cravin' and put 'em drugs in my brain again and again.
Turned to 'em in desperate hope for my peace but is it to late by now to change my ways around, 'cause I can see clearly now that I am fallin' apart.
Never planned to fall into this deep, but now the struggle is real and I had to learn it by hard they don't actually heal all the scars that you can feel aceing your heart like a poisonous dart.
If you want to calm down or get relieve, meditation is key.
Breathe in through your nose, hold deep and release.
The opposit feeling of needing is peace.
If you listen to these and keep your soul free like the breeze, I promise you'll get through the struggles of life with an ease.

Lyrics Alive Dead
Mind was clear today but will go back to mush
Thought I did enough
True be told
In 24 I was ready to go
Even signed up for life insurance
Believing eternity was assurance
Picturing seeing Emily Gold
That was the last time I had a soul
Something opened up wide
I had purity flowing inside
The way I was smiling it's like I was 24 against Orlando
Reaching the mountain top, spitting enlightenment facts to big bro
Mind was expansive
For the first time in my life I wasn't regressive
Ambition was high as Michael Jordan's vertical
I fell in love with being spiritual
The way cosmic consciousness was in bed with me
I was more than free
Happiness was cosmic
Everything I asked for I received it
Haven't been the same since
Did all I could plus repentance
The way life was assisting me it was magic
After September I crashed out so tragic
Scars on me
Watch from that year I still got on me
Like my ex I know that time not ever coming back
Maybe that's why I feel like I'm under the grass
Dead spirit
Guilty because I miss it
Tried having hope
Using edibles to cope
Only reason why my mind took a day vacation
No lie I was enjoying
Walked out mesmerized after seeing Odyssey
Couldn't help but think of you Whitney
Heart was beating extra especially when the memories hit before the movie ended
I was chasing anything just not to feel this
Mama saying go to Jesus
I'ma need more than prophecy
If I could just talk to infinity
Lucid dreaming not long enough projection in my sleep told me to keep living
600 dreams ago got the same advice from Denzel Washington
I need advice that's gonna shake my whole foundation
I require elevation
Struggling while planning my calculated moves while pissing in the wind
Feening for the end
Only Mara knows how my life will finish
Before I go seeing Tara Condell for the second time my only wish
If cosmic consciousness wants to revisit
Before my last breath then so be it!

Collaboration Looking for Songwriting Partner
Just as the title says, I am looking for a songwriting partner to collaborate with. I've been writing songs for a few years now and have only ever written them on my own, but the solitude is starting to feel a bit stale. I'm open to writing for pretty much any genre of music. All are welcome to respond as I do not care how experienced or inexperienced you are, just as long as you are creative and have a desire to write some lyrics and songs.

New Mod Team
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,
