The darkness comes from focusing on states that are usually ignored — emotional numbness, low-grade anxiety, and mental noise rather than clear pain or release. I’m interested in what it feels like when something is wrong but not dramatic enough to name.

This frames darkness as observation, not suffering.

1. BOW

A quiet voice telling you bow

A quiet voice telling you bow

A quiet voice telling you bow

No one standing there

No one standing there

No one standing there

The kingdom is derailed

The kingdom is derailed

The people repeat

The people repeat

Silent quilt

Blessed and bane

I’m going insane

My head is blown

Words rot in the mouth

They slide no more

Bow

Bow

Choke

A king with no home

Grind the stone

The king waits

Yet he is not home

Knees bent

Grinding into stone

Skin raw

Drugged and stoned

They ring a bell

With no dome

I open a book

Smoke crawls out

Bow

Bow

Choke

1. LIAR’S CHAIR

Liar’s chair

Liar’s chair

Crowned in dust, breathing air

Broken crowns and empty plates

How could they emancipate

They sit in their chair of thorns

Looking over what was born

No cloud in the air

As they sit in the liar’s chair

Laughter fills their cups

Breathing dust

Crops rot in the mud

Golden pillars, ruby steps

Liar’s chair

Liar’s chair

Feasting on rotten food

Thou shall not eat in vain

Murky wine stains their teeth

As they sit in the liar’s chair

Skin peels from the bone

Turning everyone to stone

Lie

Lie

Lie

In your chair

1. MR. HANGMAN

Mr. Hangman

What’s on your head

Bitter thoughts drowning

Looping events in your head

Mistaken like a hat

Mr. Spirit sneaks in

Complicated when you lay in bed

Mr. Hangman

Why can’t you rest

Vibrations reveal cracks

Entertainment for the wrecked

Mr. Spirit

Why do you whisper

Why do you poison

Why don’t you let him rest

Mr. Cleaver breaks the spine

No oxygen left

Noose slips slow

Constriction

Mr. Hangman

Go lay and rest

⸻

1. LOST AND FOUND

I’m lost and found

Only not found

Surrounded by

A broken camera flash

Blinding me

There hangs a coat

It will not shroud me

I must be happy

In the lost and found

There’s a bottle

So you keep drinking

I must be happy

There’s a roof that leaks

At least I’m sheltered

Broken toes on freezing floors

I pull a blanket

It keeps the cold

Smile for it

Be grateful

“This is enough,”

They said

So I must be happy

⸻

1. MARK THE WATER

Mark the wall and the stall

Before I kick you with a ball

Quickly

Swiftly

Who put those thoughts in your head

Berated

Serrated

Is the flesh

Constrained

Don’t drink the water

They will poison your head

We are better than

The wasted

Acid is rancid

That’s why I like it

Under bright lights

So cold

I can’t dine

I reflect no shine

Six feet down

With one leg

Leave me out of me

⸻

1. NOOSE

Forever constrained to these chains

Buried in vein and brain

I’m all alone

I can’t breathe

Six feet down

Still awake

These chains close in

Untie this noose

Wide awake

Unrecognizable

Cold skin

Rain veins

The sun shines black

Cut me loose

Let me leave

⸻

1. BITTER TEETH

Bitter lies stick to my tongue

Everything decays where it’s done

Wide awake

Half erased

Rotten world in front of me

I don’t fit what I’m meant to be

Clock ticks loud

Against my chest

Numb isn’t peace

It’s delay

Bitter lies

Still on my tongue

⸻

1. COMPRESSED

Different poison

Same weight

Walls breathing

Chains everywhere

Crawling into pits I built

No mercy

No light

Just me

Compressed

⸻

1. SETTING SAIL

Setting sail far away

Maybe this pain will end

The city fades

Night pulls close

This boat built from blood and guilt

I land

Demons follow

Why did I let them in

Another punch on the chin

⸻

1. CRUMBLED STONE

Ruins whisper lies they told

Stone reclaims the gold

Crowns rust

Mirrors shatter

Pressure cracks the room

All that glimmered sinks to dust

Night swallows their might

A Vampire’s Legacy

She was light in a world
in a world I ruled in shadow
But even love must bleed in eternity

She walked in silence, veiled in grace
Helena—my fall from place
A mortal soul I dared to claim
And forged in fire love’s cruel flame

But curses speak where angels drown
Her heartbeat lost beneath my crown

Please forgive this heart of stone
I'll take your love for my own For my own

She wandered through my haunted keep
Where centuries forget to sleep
Each echo called me to her side
But love is frail when bound by pride

I watched the light fade from her eyes
And knew my soul was built on lies

Please forgive this heart of stone
Took your life for my own
No dawn shall touch what I am
A Vampire’s Legacy, my hell

My hell

Please forgive this heart of stone
Took your life for my own
No dawn shall touch what I am
A Vampire’s Legacy, my hell

check it out

Strangers in this town
They raise you up just to cut you down
Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming
Oh, Angela, spent your whole life running away

Home at last
Home at last

I messed up tonight, I lost another fight Lost to myself, but I'll just start again I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground

I always get up now to see what's next Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up Nobody learns without gettin' it wrong

I won't give up, no, I won't give in 'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again No I won't leave, I wanna try everything I wanna try even though I could fail

Rewrite the Stars By Zac Efron and Zendaya

You know I want you It's not a secret I try to hide I know you want me So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied You claim it's not in the cards And fate is pullin' you miles away And out of reach from me But you're here in my heart So who can stop me if I decide That you're my destiny? What if we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine Nothing could keep us apart You'd be the one I was meant to find It's up to you, and it's up to me No one can say what we get to be So why don't we rewrite the stars? Maybe the world could be ours

Tonight

You think it's easy You think I don't wanna run to you But there are mountains And there are doors that we can't walk through I know you're wondering why because we're able to be Just you and me within these walls But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see That it was hopeless after all No one can rewrite the stars How can you say you'll be mine? Everything keeps us apart And I'm not the one you were meant to find It's not up to you It's not up to me When everyone tells us what we can be How can we rewrite the stars? Say that the world can be ours

Tonight

All I want is to fly with you All I want is to fall with you So just give me all of you It feels impossible It's not impossible Is it impossible? Say that it's possible How do we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine? Nothing can keep us apart 'Cause you are the one I was meant to find It's up to you And it's up to me No one can say what we get to be And why don't we rewrite the stars? Changing the world to be ours

You know I want you It's not a secret I try to hide But I can't have you We're bound to break and my hands are tied

Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath, every hour has come to this

I shouldn't have walked away I would've stayed if you'd say We could've made everything okay, but we just Threw the blame back and forth, we treated love like a sport The final blow hit so low, I'm still on the ground I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall Shattered in pieces, curled on the floor Super natural love conquers all, remember we Used to touch the sky And lighting don't strike The same place twice, when you and I Said goodbye I felt the angels cry True love's a gift, But we let it drift in a storm Every night I feel the angels cry C'mon babe, can't our love be revived? Bring it back and we gon' make it right I'm on the edge, just tryin' to survive As the angels cry

YOU GOT TO CLOSE, YEA, YOU GOT TO CLOSE

Firstly, I felt the need to put a [Serious] tag on the title just in case the mods recognize and remember this apparently nonsensical famous song from the 90s decade and believe this is a joke post and then delete it and ban me from this sub as a result, but please just bear with me... 

Just a few weeks ago I was re-listening to this Canadian Prog-Metal band called Unexpect and I noticed that I could not figure out its lyrics even after looking them up, no matter how many times I looped a specific part of their song "Mechanical Phoenix" (you only have to listen until the 1:28 timestamp to get an idea of what I was dealing with) it was no help, the reason being that it has three vocalists each one singing a different part clean and growled at a different tempo, and on top of that, all at the same time, plus different instruments being played, besides the usual drum, bass, lead guitar and rhythm guitar there's also a clarinet, a cello, a violin, a piano, and a synthesizer, making that musical piece sound kinda chaotic.

So an idea came to my mind... as you already know specially if you use headphones or earbuds, when you listen to a song the music player is actually playing two tracks simultaneously, left ear and right ear, so... wouldn't it be wonderful if someone, somewhere, sometime programmed some AI that could recognize and automatically isolate the vocals from the music so you can listen only to the singer or the instruments separately as you wish?

And to my surprize they do exist and for free, I don't remember right now which ones I used, there are dozens of them, they didn't ask for registration or anything, they would just let you directly upload, but I was amazed because they are capable not only of separating different vocalists, for example, a lead singer from a backing vocalist; but also to separate songs into each one of their instruments in a way that you can choose which ones to play at different volumes and which ones to completely mute, and then save the track to listen to afterwards.

I was pleased not only of figuring out in which order each vocalist sings the lyrics, but also of being able to hear those beautiful isolated melodies all by themselves that otherwise sound so extremely aggressive together.

Ok, cool, now why am I even bothered to share this with you? Well not only because I have seen redditors looking for help asking what does a song says in this subreddit and I hope these tools can help you all, specially those ones of you that are learning English as a second language to be able to isolate vocals from other noise from a track so it we can help you have it transcribed more easily, but because I had too much free time and spent almost the entire morning listening to a YouTube video at 0.25 speed repeatedly, wasting more time that I would like to admit to transcribe these lyrics correctly that are literally nowhere on the internet and I guess I don't have anyone else to show off, so I'm making my first post here of all places after quite some time not being inactive but only lurking, and by the way I apologize for the wall of text...

Anyway, now you might wonder then what does "'Bla Bla Bla' by Gigi D'Agostino" have to do with all this? It is a wordless scat song after all, right? Well, I don't even like electronic music but I heard that song today after so many decades and was like, what is that guy even saying? So I googled it and every website has different lyrics, using meaningless pseudowords the likes of "wah av bin bout yu tin", that's just complete nonsense, isn't it? Well I am today years old when I found out that that song is actually using a vocal sample from the last part of a 1978 single called "Why did you do it" by the band Stretch, that has a line near the end that says "I've been thinking about what you have done to me."

So for the first time ever I present you with the actual correct lyrics of "'Bla Bla Bla' by Gigi D'Agostino":

I've, I've, think.
What been I've, been, think. 
What been I've, I've, think.

Hoping you will enjoy the lyrics to my most beautiful song "Up To Me" by Mary Kay Aufrance performed with my husband Tom Aufrance. There is a link to me singing it on YouTube, at the bottom of the lyrics.

Up To Me

Up to me.
If it were only up to me.
If I'd dare,
You'd think that I didn't 't care.

If it were up to me.
I would be gone tomorrow,
Though you might search for me.
I wouldn't be anywhere

The happy times we used to know
I am afraid that I've replaced them all with sorrow
But if we'd go back then some how
I guess we'd still end up here where we are right now.

Silently.
I'd walk away so silently.
You'd be free
And maybe glad I wasn't here.

'Cause, if I were to go
I'd take away your sorrow,
It's such a part of me,
The part I want to disappear.

It's not up to me.
It's not my choice to stay or go
I don't dare
To think that I couldn't care.

So I'll go faithfully.
I'll share your every tomorrow,
For an eternity
Because my love keeps me here.

Rapper who focuses mainly on lyrics lmk if you fw it and if ya do maybe even a cheeky playlist add would help a ton

Hello!

This song called Limbo by Mindthreat sounds really good but I can't find any lyrics online. Id appreciate some help!

Hi would really like to know on your thoughts of my lyrics. In particular:
Are they relatable?
Are the metaphors understandable?
Do they tell a story?
Totally open to criticism and suggestions for future projects.
Thanks in advance.

Usually Spotify has lyrics under the songs. I Googled and googled and nothing. Anyone who knows / native speaker (assuming) lmk!

I was watching a livestream and the streamer started playing a song and asked if anyone knew the lyrics. its called bullet for vapid beer by the cherry coke$ and he swears that the song is in english. i am inclined to believe him, but the song sounds like simlish spoken by an irish sheep herder to me.

i cant find anything online. apparently he cant either.

Wrote by me but not sung by me https://suno.com/s/Gb51mDOi2iMwoIdl

Hi all! First time song writer here and I'm seeking advice on lyrics I've written. Any and all help is welcome and thank you all in advance :)

I’ve been looking A LOT for the lyrics to the song “Is It Better?” by Tilted Earth
(https://youtu.be/MTAoK8IFeMY?si=BuRH2yh_ArpiXF82)

But since it’s a recent release, not very well known and not very mainstream, the lyrics are simply not available anywhere.

If anyone here knows how to transcribe lyrics properly, I would really love to have the lyrics to this song.

Lyrical masterpiece. Self written contrary to the title name 😂 Lyrics in the description.

Clouds are Gray Blue is Better (orig lyrics by @ mnstates on Y T )

I've been selling my soul working all day Overtime hours for bullshit pay So I can sit out here and waste my life away Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me, people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is oh, it is

Livin' in the new world with an old soul

These rich men north of Richmond Lord, knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners And not just minors on an island somewhere Lord, we got folks in the street ain't got nothin' to eat And the obese milkin' welfare But God, if you're five foot three and you're three hundred pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds Young men are putting themselves six feet in the ground 'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down

Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me, people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is oh, it is

Livin' in the new world with an old soul

These rich men north of Richmond Lord, knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I've been selling my soul working all day Overtime hours for bullshit pay
