Yes, I am so bored today. So bored that I wrote 3 songs, at one shot! 2 and a half actually, cos I wrote half a song a few days ago. So here they are.
bitterSWEET
Lyrics: Me.
As the silence continues
I feel my heart breaking
You don't say a word
But I feel your sadness
Is there a way to
See you smile again?
We were born to make choices
Yet we are tormented again and again
I want to be your side but I can't
Being helpless is the worst thing
After hurting you
I want to cry but I just can't
Sadness in the happiness of being with you
It is strange, isn't it?
I want to protect you
Even at the cost of my life
But I hesitate at the last minute
Is my love for you not strong enough?
You see? No one has really
Taught me to be really strong
Except for you, of course
Perhaps if I ruffle your hair
And tease you a little
You'd feel better
Maybe if you know that
I'll always be your side
You'd feel better
Time is running fast
I wish to embrace you
Before fate pulls us apart again...
I want to be your side but I can't
Being helpless is the worst thing
After hurting you
I want to cry but I just can't
Sadness in the happiness of being with you
It is strange, isn't it?
Perhaps if I ruffle your hair
And tease you a little
You'd feel better
Maybe if you know that
I'll always be your side
You'd feel better
- bitterSWEET
Food for thought: A lot of Ayu references in this song... the opening stanzas are inspired from Ayu's criminal. Song references (not copying) includes Who... and Born To Be... I also took references from Ai Otsuka's Happy Days and Planetarium.
Next,
SNOWFLAKES
Lyrics: Me.
The white snow was falling
Thinking of that time
Made me feel nostalgic
In the cold scenery
Your hands felt exceedingly warm
I held a snowflake in my trembling hands
It was as precious and beautiful
As you
A freezing wind blew past
Is that frost on my face?
Or my tears, frozen?
Indeed, crying
Is not a sign of sadness
I held a snowflake close to my heart
It was as fragile and gentle
As you
I held your hand firmly
The warmth from it...
It's reassuring
I laid my head softly
On your chest
Your heartbeat...
Made more frost on my face
- SNOWFLAKE
Food for thought: This is a winter ballad, following the likes of Ayu's JEWEL. I don't really like my last stanza... oh well. And of course, such lyrics can never reach the level of artistic-ness of JEWEL.
TOGETHER
Lyrics: Me.
I still remember that day
When we were sitting side by side
Swaying from left to right
Nothing could go wrong
As I awaken to your smile
From my deep slumber
I realized how peaceful
Everything really was
The sky, the sun
They were smiling at me
I held onto your hand
Unable to let go
It was not as if I loved
Only to wish to be loved in return
I still remember that day
When we were sitting side by side
Swaying from left to right
Nothing could go wrong
Slowly but surely, I see
How my life has changed
My faint smiles only reflect
The happiness in my heart
Perhaps if we look around
Love isn't too far away
Will you come with me?
We'll learn how to be strong
From reality, together
Yes, I only want to be with you
Very soon, my dearest
The scars on your heart
Will fade away
Like how my sorrow did
I still remember that day
When we were sitting side by side
Swaying from left to right
Nothing could go wrong
Will you come with me?
We'll learn how to be strong
From reality, together
Yes, I only want to be with you
- TOGETHER
Food for thought: This is a BLUE BIRD/HONEY/PEACH/*insert happy song*-esque song. Typically happy lyrics... and if I ever know how to arrange/compose songs... this one is definitely going to be like BLUE BIRD. Haha. By the way, I need to stop with the capitalization of titles...
So, I have one more that I thought of spontaneously while posting these songs.
rebirth
Lyrics: Me.
From the flames of death
The phoenix rises
I'd be like her
Reborn from whatever pit I fall into
I will spread my wings and keep them back in again
Contemplating on what I should do to prevent my past mistakes
My new world will be filled with pink everythings
And of course candy
Somewhere where they would not be able to find me
And of course I will let you in
Once again I will be reborn
It's easier than done, of course
There are so many times when I wish to give up
I will spread my wings and keep them back in again
Contemplating on what I should do to prevent my past mistakes
I won't cry even if I fall again, only because
I will be like the phoenix that was reborn
Surely I'd be able to come back
And let everyone know that
I'm not so naive
My new world will be filled with pink everythings
And of course candy
Somewhere where they would not be able to find me
And of course I will let you in
Once again I will be reborn
La la la...
Food for thought: Yes, a title that's not capitalized! I'm sorry but I'm really following Ayu's style of everything, am I? Anyway, unlike the other 3 songs, this one is nothing to do with love. I got inspiration from Ayu's winding road. I just cannot come up with impressive titles. = (
Okay anyway, I think my lyrics all are not that good, and I know whoever who wishes *oh yeah.* to really use these lyrics (who would?), they will have a hell of their time cos I know my lyrics are not really structured and systematic.
Oh well.
Listened to music @ 10:22 PM
