Ok so this is kinda embarrassing, and I wrote this song a few years ago. I was clearly heartbroken, and it took years for me to recover. The song is titled, "How Could You Go (Break My Heart)".

 

It was a late night in autumn

Didn't think too much about it

Never known too much about it

But you were my first

And it hurt when you left me

How could you go (break my heart)

 

It's all I'd ever wanted

Back then I was too young to see it

Had nothing to compare it to

But for you I was always a secret

Sometimes when it's love you win

And other times you're left with scars to heal

There's no way I'll forget

The first time that we kissed and made love

Cause nothing has compared to it since

 

How could you go and break my heart

Oh I was left with my guard up

How could we let it fall apart

With how amazing that it started

I remember the days in the winter

The first time spending the night

Oh I wish I would have known what I now know

But all I can say is how could you go and break my heart

This is another song I wrote a few years ago about the same person I had a hard time getting over. It's called, "Part With The Past".

 

Oh we swam in the deep end

Pushing the limits

Our hearts were racing

Toward a crash awaiting in the finish

Oh oh how the nights grew so long

Oh oh how could I let you get the best of me

I was just beginning

 

I have a choice

You made yours

I know I don't wanna hurt anymore

So I'm done looking back

Cause some things don't last

It was the hardest thing to give you up

But I'm gonna part with the past

 

Oh one thing lead to the next

How could I have ever guessed

The passion of your kiss would be long gone soon

Was naive to say what love was

Now all of the others

Won't surpass the expectations that have been set by you

I can't believe it was so easy

For you to watch me leaving

Now all of my lovers just resemble your tune

None of them seem to fit

They come and go, I cry a bit

Most of them I get over quick

But not you

Oh oh I can't believe it's been so long

Oh oh do you ever even think of me

How could I have missed it

 

I have a choice

You made yours

I know I don't wanna hurt anymore

So I'm done looking back

Cause some things don't last

It was the hardest thing to give you up

But I'm gonna part with the past

I love your lyrics! They're so beautiful and not only does the vulnerability add to that, but the rhyme scheme itself. Great job! ❤

I really liked this song, I really can see it as pop smash :) Well done Crazybutitfeelsalright!

I'm sharing with you today a very personal song that I wrote and I that I posted singing a capella on my youtube. It's called "Bad in my skin" and it's about feeling at war with your body and mind. I really hope you like it. Any feedback would be very much appreciated. The lyrics are in the description of the video. Thank you very much for your attention. Kisses** Paula

 

 

I'm always so impressed with your work. Your flow is impeccable. Honestly, if you were able to get a producer, you could definitely make demos and shop your songs around.

This is both an album reject and one I can't sell. 

"Clean Cuts"

My knuckles are aching to be split
My self control is slipping, dying to commit
Eyes turning black at the thought of a ring bearing hit
I'll take all the punches and more, the soul shaking spit

Cuz the people who tortured you get the nice places
And all of the hell raisers get all of God's graces
I'm going insane, their laughter's leaving traces
No holding me back, I'm all about scarring faces

[Chorus]
Clean cuts are for the ones with all the time and more
For the ones not already covered in their own blood and gore
They're for the ones who've never been down this road before
Let me f. uck them all up, let me even the score

Don't know where to point this unsteady gun
The adrenaline rush in my fingers has me undone
Twisting around the trigger, throbbing for fun
God, it hurts, why isn't this pain felt by someone?

[Chorus]

The ones who left a squeezing, burning handprint on your heart
The ones who you spend pleasing, playing commercial art
The ones who prostitute your conscience to f.uck till it falls apart
The ones who pervert your sanity before you could even start

[Chorus]

I don't know what to do 

I thought I was over you 

Even after all this time 

You are still on my mind 
 

I hate myself for feeling this way 

Cause you were so willing to throw us away 

I thought after all this you'd be gone 

But no you're not 
 

You are nothing but a ghost 

Of a person I miss the most 

You are haunting me 

In my mind and in my dreams 

I wish you could just leave 

And just quit haunting me 
 

Everyone says I'm crazy for feeling this way 

But it doesn't take away 

The pain I feel deep inside 

Oh how I wish I could hide 

No one understands how I feel 

How everything with you felt so real 
 

I remember the love and affairs we had 

Even though everyone said it was bad 

If that was bad, then bad never felt so good 

But it wasn't worth it cause look 
 

You are nothing but a ghost 

Of a person I miss the most 

You are haunting me 

In my mind and in my dreams 

I wish you could just leave 

And just quit haunting me 
 

What hurts the most 

Besides that were not meant to be 

Is that you probably don't think of me 

You were nothing but a boy 

Who just saw me as a toy 
 

If I knew all this would happen 

I wouldn't have given in 

I would've been smart 

To guard my heart 

Everyone just judges me and don't understand 

That you were once my everything and my man 

But now 
 

You are nothing but a ghost 

Of a person I miss the most 

You are haunting me 

In my mind and in my dreams 

I wish you could just leave and quit haunting me 
 

I know at the end of the day 

It wasn't meant to be 

Even though you meant the world to me 

I don't know if I'll ever get over you 

But I have to 
 

I have to let go and be at peace 

For that way I can find true love and be happy 

And that one day you quit haunting me 

 

(Idk if this counts as a song but I wrote it a year ago about my ex)

Of course it counts a song. It's so good, what I like most about it is the pain you can feel from just reading the lyrics. I can tell that writing this song was very cathartic for you. Songs written during times of struggle and pain are some of the best, however, I hope you're feeling better now. 💜

I wrote a song ages ago when I was 17 and was heartbroken over getting dumped. I used to write poetry and songs all the time.

verse 1:

Lying in bed

Stroking your skin

Up on a high

Nothing looks dim

I lean into you

In for a kiss

because I have you

I have no other wish

 

Chorus:

And now I lay here

so dazed and confused

why did you leave me

it was really so soon

after we had, such heaven and bliss

how did you give up, a feeling like this

 

Verse 2:

Now it's months later

Now that you're gone

All my dreams have been shattered

And now I feel wronged

Lying in bed, stroking the air

Wishing and begging that you were still there

 

Chorus:

And now I lay here

so dazed and confused

why did you leave me

it was really so soon

after we had, such heaven and bliss

how did you give up, a feeling like this

 

Ugh, I was so melodramatic. It still pulls at my heartstrings though. This was my everytime :crying1:

Spoiler

we only dated for 3 weeks. :jackk:

Hey, 3 weeks can still be enough to cause pain and get your mind into songwriting mode. Your Everytime is gorgeous. It has all of the uncomplicated simplicity and heartache the original had. :mcry:

@AmorProhibido Thank you so much for such kind and encouraging words, it was one of the sweetest feedbacks I ever had and it made my day :) 

I have a demo song with instrumental in my channel called "Moonlight". I also have "Quarantine", "Your soul", "Amazing" and "Bad in my skin" which are a capella. I have written so many songs and crafted the vocal melodies, literally thousands, I even thought of doing a capella album but I think people would get bored after a while, I really don't know. Your support really means a lot to me. If you enjoy them please consider subscribing to my channel. I will try to keep them coming in any way that I possibly can.

@princessmimi I loved your song lyrics, they are poignant and hauntingly beautiful :) Keep writing your heart out!

@bryceecyrb I loved your lyrics as well, love really hits hard when we're seventeen doesn't it? They were really moving and coming from a deep place. It would be great to read more from you.

Have a lovely Saturday! Kisses**

I guess I'm bumping this thread again? :katyclown: :haha: Anyways, I don't have the heart to give this one a chorus and it hits a little too close to home to sell.

I feel like I’ve got my wrists tied
I feel like you like me better that way
Like me better when I’m teary eyed
Saying the safe word you said was from yesterday

Do you like me docile,
Willing to wait for you awhile?
With my pained smiles,
You know submissive isn’t really my style
I ice people out who treat me like dirt
So why do I let myself get so hurt?
Asking me questions I can’t address,
You’re holding me down till I confess
And when I turn away, I feel your hand on my face
And the second long pause and your apology embrace

Leaving me with bruises I cover 
And turning my blue eyes black
When did I become that lover,
The one that always comes crawling back?

Do you like me meek,
Waiting to be told I can speak?
With my handprint covered cheek,
Knowing I’m too disgusted to admit I’m weak
I thought I was safe when injured,
Instead you’re coming at me unhindered
Saying you like me so out of action,
You’re waiting for me to give a reaction
And I’m too numb so you give me something to feel
And you say you’ll forgive me if I get down and kneel

Tired of looking up to the stars
With blood trailing down my split lip
I’m always showing up with visible scars
But for that conversation, I’m not equipped
I’m not ready for more
Than the worried glances
I’m still fighting this war
Losing myself in circumstances

A huge club banger:
https://ffm.to/newworld-hpzmanremix


New World, Bow To The ****

Lyrics by Israell Isaac
Music by Israell Isaac & Jean-Guy Montpetit
 

Intro:
Ave Shiva. Ave Pan.
Ave Narayana. Ave Ayyappan!
Ave Hecate. Ave Lilith.
Ave Hecate. Ave Kali!
New World. New World.

Chorus:
New World, the Male Form
Doesn't have to conform
New World, submit to His Will
New World, bow to the ****
New World, respect all your humans
Bow to the ****

New World, he's not all yours
New World, bow to the ****
New World, don't be so stupid
New World, bow to the ****
New World

Verse 1:
Why would you think everyone
Would have the same taste?
Let's call on a Snake
It's sneaky, fits everywhere
There must be a change so it's all fair!

(Chorus)

Verse 2:
Why would you think everyone
Would share all the beliefs you try to force upon innocents?
Your bans are reversed and indecent!

(Chorus)

Bridge 1:
New World, stop controlling his every move
New World, stop. He can choose.
New World, drop all your bans
All those laws, all you rants!

New World, no matter what he does
He's good. He's full of love.
New World, freedom is our condition
He's getting out of repression and oppression!

Verse 3:
That man doesn't belong to anybody
In no way he's your slave
He's entitled to go out and play
It's not up to anybody
To control and dictate his drive

(Chorus)

Bridge 2:
He's now discovering a new playground
He's now praying in a new sanctuary
For the first time of his life, he's happy
He discovered previously unknown sensations

Conclusion:
New World, be open-minded
New World, consider new avenues
New World, I'm telling you this for your own good
New World, the one change you won't regret

Obedience—
Good omen for your existence...
For the Devil knows
You're never alone...

A blues rock ballad:

New Time Celebration

Lyrics by Israell Isaac
Music by Israell Isaac and Vespo Eleven

Verse 1:
This is a new time celebration
I won't go back to where I was
There was a legion of false sermons
Tormenting me with no mercy

I'm taking control of this candle
I'm changing everything
I'm rid of some spirit
All the negativity is burning on the altar
All my enemies now see that I'm in charge


Chorus:
Hold my hand
Together, we’re now invoking a star to make this better
Take a stand against
Such karma; it's all changed

Be my friend forever
We’re now defining the laws
Casting a new charm
Take a chance again
Let's enter this trance


Verse 2:
I don't belong to anyone
I AM, it's my WILL, it's my Creation
There's no distance between us
The war is won, let's handle the rod

I have gotten worse than the Devil
In this Sun hour within this prism/pyramid
I'm ********* all those opponents' evil
My salvation is what makes me rich


Chorus:
Hold my hand
Together, we’re now invoking a star to make this better
Take a stand against
Such karma; it's all changed

Be my friend forever
We’re now defining the laws
Casting a new charm
Take a chance again
Let's enter this trance

(Bridge)


Chorus:
Hold my hand
Together, we’re now invoking a star to make this better
Take a stand against
Such karma; it's all changed

Be my friend forever
We’re now defining the laws
Casting a new charm
Take a chance again
Let's enter this trance

Chorus 2:
Hold my hand
Together, we’re now invoking a star to make this better
Take a stand against
Such karma; it's all changed

Be my friend forever
We’re now defining the laws
Casting one more charm
Take a chance again
Let's enter this trance


Conclusion:
This is a new time celebration for all
This a new time religion, we're one
This is a new time celebration for all
This a new time religion, we're one

This is a new time celebration for all
It's all that matters
This a new time religion, we're one
Forget your matters
This is a new time celebration for all
It's all that matters
This a new time religion, we're one

Dice Are Rolling...

Lyrics by Israell Isaac
Music by Israell Isaac & ensemble.yd


Verse 1:
What did it take for you to notice me
All of a sudden like this?
What would it take for me to get all the benefits
That come with this ring?

It took us all of our lives
To turn it upside down
Shake up the system
This is our anthem

Chorus:
Dice are rolling
All over the map
Up to you, guys
To do the math
Habits die hard
But love conquers it all

Dice are rolling
All over the Matrix,
The Universe
As we see fit
Make it twice as hard
My strength underneath it all

Verse 2:
How long does the road to Heaven
Take to fully be walked?
How long does the road to Hell
Take to fully be stalked?

It took us countless rebirths
To face up to these terms
And permanently
Break away from those chains!

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

This is a very short one but I don't think it needed to be a long song.

"Howler Junkie"

[Chorus]
Do you love me or your monkey?
You know a life without something exotic is just as funky
All the time spent feeding it
All the money spent needing it
You're not bleeding it
It's bleeding you, howling junkie

You aren't in the jungle, you're here in my arms
Or so you should be but you've got primate charms
I guess I'm a little naive, it's happened again
I've landed in a cage where you just sit and grin
The people on the other side of the glass
Hear them laugh
Making fun of me and my side of the grass
You say you love me just as much
But I think it's half

[Chorus]

You've skipped town to go some place hotter
Things are really heating up, evaporating the water
I guess I shouldn't be shocked but I am
When I follow you following monkey on the lamb
There's nowhere to hide when they point
The attracted crowd
They think it's funny I'm back in this joint
You say we'll leave soon but
I don't think you're allowed

[Chorus]

This is lit tbh. Talent right here
