Well, here's a new song, I wrote it at like 1:00 in the morning... so ya... But I think this ones good, I like it anyways... It's about something personal, but also has a dual story behind it..
I imagine it as sounding slow, sad and powerful... with a wide range in the vocals, with soft soprano mostly for the singing and maybe some organ and really dark and low sounding... with lots of back ground singing, mostly just oo's and stuff, you know? Basically my own Understanding(wash it all away) my "gothic ballad"
I was going to post the meaning and everything with it, but I thought it would be more fun for you guys to tell me first
also, i know this is awkward in a few parts, but dont worry, its because of the way it'll be sung..
and dont worry, as usual it is full of metaphors!
Sooooo....
Leaving Us
Mellow,
Like stars in the sky we'll come crashing down
Shatter through my cold concrete coverings
Melt away the snow white glaze on my eyesockets
Dripping down my bare body
Streaming bandages cover my everythings
You won't see these calamaties
My eyes are shut down and caved in
Blood seeping through the gauze layer thin
Don't let your face fall away
Don't let me fly away
Don't let them see us
Don't let us be us
What has happened to justice?
Sacrificed the feathers and my heart
and laid it on that golden scale
I'm so heavy(weighed down)
Clutch onto myself
I can't fall(fly, fall, fall)
I'm so
joyful
I could die from the pain
Please sing back to me
I'd do all I could just to please you
I know I can
Now the whispers
I hear them still pass through the halls
in my head
blunt objects
I don't quite know why but they feel so good
bashing in on my skin
Can't make you show me
Can't make you let me
Can't open up my heart
Can't tear a hole apart
Hey mister angel
Where are our wings?
I've waited so so long to fly
Into the light with you
The Day I stabbed out all the pain
I still see you white and shining
inside my memory
Now I see
Black dancing in more black, it's swirling
But that's okay
I know I'm safe in your bandages
(soft and subtle daze)
I know
we'll get there soon
I promise you
you'll get your wings and
I will see again
I can't breathe without you here
I can't live without you near
I can't let you turn away
I can't let you get away
I feel everything burning
ripping through my back
feathers churning
Bathing in blood
All we're seeing
Bring me closer to Death
Bring me closer to My Angel
Chains and pinion
I will reach you
NOW
(guitar and organ really loud)
(singing now really powerful and emotional)
Though entwined
my arms reach out to you
Though left behind I know
I shall reach you
(this part now talking)
I know now it was just a dream
I know because of what I've seen
I know I can't be with you
I know theres no life without you(fading out at the end and getting closer to a whisper)
WOW this is a LONG song
too many
but i love it.... ah well, cant wait to record a 15 minute song!!
