Walk Away

[shiggity]

Never been much of a lyricist. This is purley from my soul, developed as a result of leaving my wife and dealing with her insanitys.

I ask that everyone that feels they want to comment on these to be 110% honest, all my lyrics always sound cheesy as hell to me and these are no different. kinda sounds too emo in my opinion but I just started tyyoing and all these words came out. would really like an honest opinion cuz I always think my lyrics suck.

Fire away...

Walk Away


finally my eyes have witnessed
what my thoughts no longer comprehend
my stakes have brought to me
what will be my conpassions end

what have you taken from me
other than my solitude
what will tomorrow bring me
images the mind can no longer elude

I want to walk away not run
olny time will tell what fate has spelled
the damage has been done
I want to walk away not run

and now you see who I really am
and who I can easily become
you erased my existstance with turmoil
now it all has come undone

it was my time
but it was our place
a fools erand of contempt
and tomorrow cannot be replaced

Bridge:
your words of wisdom have all become lost in the sea of eternal deceit
without you, now my life is complete

I want to walk away not run
only time will tell what fate has spelled
the damage has been done
I want to walk away not run

I want to walk away not run
only time will tell what fate has spelled
the damage has been done
I want to walk away not run

Well, if you're partner doesn't come through for whatever reason, look me up.

I don't think this lyric sucks at all my friend. The key with this kind of song, IMO, it to find a melody and delivery that enables the expressive qualities of the lyrics.

In other words, the delivery, melody etc is going to make this genuine. Most lyrics sound corny when read from the page. (or screen)

first and foremost... rock, blues or whatever type of music you chose have lots of love songs... matter of facts, most rock/blues/pop/whatever songs talk about either love and/or broken hearts or friendship.

You probably forgot about a guy named Ozzy who wrote "Mamma I'm coming home" and "Paranoid" and "Mr. Crowley" or some "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "November Rain" by a band called Guns n' Roses.

Lyrics just guides the path, you are the one giving the sound/melody and attitude.

The Ramones have songs about love... A musician I know use to say that the difference between EMOs and Punks is that the first ones go home and cry and the last wanna put the world on fire - sometimes the retarded ones wanna do it literally.

so... give the lyrics and the sound, the melody that dictates what message you wanna us to understand. even if its no message at all. :)

by the way... I liked the lyrics, but still missing the feeling from what you really want to say without the melody.

I can certainly dig this Shiggs. Broke up with my girl near 5-6 months ago. We still love one another, started getting together more often, lately. Dinner Saturday night, looks like a hike today.

But man is it nice when she leaves, or I leave.

There's a certain sadness to it all, but I LOVE me some solitude!

"...without you, now my life is complete..."

That's perfect.

I was sitting here trying to fit it to a few originals I don't have lyrics for, but couldn't do it. Very cool, Shiggs.

"without you my life is complete"

Whoa!.....Nice!!! I've never heard that before. That's HUGE

Good piece of work.

Great lyrics Shiggity. I could hear the melody coming through nicely. I think if it were mine I would add just a few words to the chorus, but of course I haven't heard you sing it so I could be way of base.

Orig:
I want to walk away not run
olny time will tell what fate has spelled
the damage has been done
I want to walk away not run

Edit:
I want to walk away not run
only time will tell what fate has spelled
yes the damage has been done
But I just want to walk away, I don't want to run

Anyway, I thought you did a great job. Sorry it had to come from such bad circumstances.

I often find that when I read a lyric off a page, it completely throws me off where I should be going melodically.

I would LOVE to hear where you go with this one musically. Please let us know when you get around to sorting it.

[shiggity]

forgot all about it.

wrote one last night too. it keeps getting easier, Just cant out together a melody. I'll see what I can do with both of them when I get together with my bud for pracx.

Very nice lyrics man. Not cheesy at all. I've several originals I've written myself and that tops a few of them.

Btw, I would play it out of Dm. Every sad, or solemn song that really gets the message across to an audience is in Dm. At least I think thats how things go. I could be wrong. haha
