(Two part obscure song, that you probably won't get unless your high, lot of obscure references, i'd give 5 $ to anybody who has even the slightest idea what i'm actually referring too within all these metaphors)
Twilight

V1
Walking the path that Crowley rode upon,
Between the Ocean’s moon and the Deserts sun,
Mephisto awaits in a sinister courtship,
By the fields near Tartarus.

V2
Their lies a deal in his malefic eyes,
As he embraces my one true love,
Petting the gold around her finger,
Beneath this blood red sun.


Hook
The morning star near the eastern skies,
As I hide under your under parasol,
Imaginations surfaces at night,
And I drink from the pool of your soul,
At Twilight, At Twilight.

V3
I manipulate the wheels of passion,
He promises me hellfire and heavens are one,
“Let the gateway vanish fallen messiah,
As Sammael vanished by the hand of Jacob.”

V4
I’ve danced with the fallen angels,
I’ve sat under the Bodhi tree,
Though you have my lover’s heart,
Her soul is mine to keep.

Hook

V5
By these hands the pillars will fall from heaven’s gate,
Destroying the grim records of seraphim,
I set ablaze the book marked with your name,
And demolish the Akashic machines of fate.

V6
Life will stop and the Idols will fall,
There you lie, beneath the small,
Thorny prison I left for thee,
Near the Cyprus of melancholy,
Where Mephisto awaits for me.

Bridge
I’ve walked the path that Crowley rode upon
The steep and thorny road, he swore he’d settle on
I’ve taken footsteps, towards the left and towards the right
Sat with Mara in Jesus’ sight (I can never recover middle ground)
Now I abandon, all the thoughts I’ve had before
And I abandon all the knowledge that I adored,
Been through all words untrue, through all places taboo
And I find, and I find, I'm still in love with you....

Hook

V7
“I come to collect O fallen messiah
As Judas came to collect a kiss”
STOP! O lord of my ego
You are pure illusion, you do not exist

(Hook repeated 3x)

{Exodus)

V1
I walked into the garden of my life
And saw life seeking love
But if there is no love
There is no life
There is no life

V2
And I wandered into the valley of my memories
And saw the love of my past
Cast to the side in a room with no light
Room with no light

V3
Am I the messiah or the demon?
Am I the angel or pure illusion?
Why do I feel so open inside?
Where there is no sun and so much light
Twilight....
Twilight...

(Repeated until fade)
Feel the Rhythm and the beat that’s so strong
You’ll know that my heart belongs
to you baby
I'd climb any mountain in the sky
Through the snows and the deserts of endless time
For you girl

My first guess is that it's NOT a pop song.

Second, Crowley didn't ride to actual hell (just through hellish conditions) so Mephisto might not be a demon but someone that went to great length to get the one that you love.

You "drink from the pool of her soul"..is she the Fountain of Youth and not a person at all? Do you have to sell your soul to Mephisto, to have this drink? Are you seeking youth/life?

Back to "passion". O.K., this must be an actual woman...one you would wrestle an angel/demon for.

You seem confused about who the good guys and the bad guys are.

Mephisto waits for your soul? Did you drink that devil's water?
Even if you did, you ain't dead yet, so it ain't too late.

After considering all things, my best guess is that this is NOT a pop song.

Pay up!

Burning as they go
Memories inflicted in my heart
Oh how I long for you to know

Sweet tears roll down
Burning as they go
Sitting here alone
Wanting the love you never gave

Sweet tears roll down
Burning as they go
Heart crying tears of blood
Scorring my soul as they go.

Lemme take a stab at this.... lol

In the first part you're talking about your love of the pen.."petting the gold around her finger", the bit of devil and sinister in you, coming out in your thoughts you put on paper.

The morning star turned in to the evening star...Venus...indicative of the goddess of love and beauty....you drink deeply from her soul for inspiration, but only at twilight.

In the middle of the lyrics you speak of the many thoughts you've had, but are now dissatisfied with them...you may have a slight creative block, or feel you must make the lyrics better somehow...you edit and re-edit at times....but your passion is still there, and fiery. You may realize that you lied sometimes with what you wrote, and that bothers you.

The devil in you still has your lover's heart, but you yourself still have control of the very soul of that pen, making it write what you want in the end.

Then things get a bit fuzzy for me from there, until I hit upon the "love of your past" which is your guitar or one of your instruments..."cast aside in a room with no lights"...you abandoned it, put it aside for a while.

Lost again...cuz that last verse seems so literal... lol
Only you know...

Now, keep your 5 bucks and just tell me if I'm at all close on any of this! lol

haha no, but close
Actually Crazy Sexy, hit on the nail
Senses decieve not what the heart wants....

If he/she was even refering to my song
One thing your right, it is not a pop song, actually goes through alot changes, from art rock, to heavy metal, to floydish rock, than to Trip hop.
As for the meaning of the song, it is quite literal
i was reading Faust, and listening to alot of Sting at the time, primarily The SOul Cages, (Dark album, Obsessed you'd probably love that album, beautifully written)
And i basically wanted create a love song with a story, that wasn't really about love...
Essentially the story is about this guy, a a sort of relunctant messiah, who's confused about whats good is evil. he has some type of undisclosed power Mephistophlese one of the demons of hell has kidnapped his love, so he can black mail him. Mephisto is trying to convince this guy that Heaven and Hell are the same thing and that he shouldn't fear any repercussion, What he wants him to do is destroy the gateway that links heaven and hell so that god can't see what is going on in hell. So basically this guy right now is pissed off at both sides, because the only reason Mephisto was able to kidnapp his girl, was because God had condemned her to hell. So what he does is he goes into heaven, and destoys it. Goes to the Akashic records and sets it on fire, when he sees his girls name in it. I didn't really know how to end the song so i just wrote the verse 7 basically just repeating whatt Buddha said to Mara , a buddhist demon,
But the verse basically takes away the whole song
Everything was imagined. Because their can be no heaven with out a hell, so never existed

The bridge explains the indesicion of the protagnist, how he's done evil things and done good things and could never choose a side,
the hook was just something nice i wrote
i think it theoretically means satan in the sky, and he hides under the girl whatever i dont even know what it means lol

The exodus
IS basically like the aftermath of the dream
the dudes reflecting and is realizing that hes been chasing love and chasing life seperately, not knowing they were one
And looking after how he's abandoned all his lovers
he wonders if he is good or bad,
and wonders how is he changing now..
Last lines are just a message to the girl who he thought he saved from the demons,

But all that stuff means
Senses can only momentary blind the heart
eventually the heart wins

weirdest thing i've probably ever wrote
I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned
With the Sunset forgetting, i ever Happened

That's not fair. You ask us to figure out the metaphors, then you say the song is literal...and you never once mention that it's a rock opera.
I'm gonna need a second opinion on this interpretation of yours.

I look out the window and see all those happy faces.
I look at my own and realize that happiness will never twinkle in my eyes the way it does in theirs.

And whose fault is that?
Nobody elses but my own

So naive I was the day you gazed into my eyes and gave me the red rose.
You held me in your arms and whispered 'I Love You'.
But as quickly as you said it you took it back.

And whose fault is that?
Nobody elses but my own

You opened up my eyes to things unseen.
And you placed my heart on a pillar.
So that 'no one would break it' youd say.
But in one swift movement you shattered it.

And whose fault is that?
Nobody elses but my own

You loved me uncoditionally and yet like a parasit you sucked the life out of me.

For quite sometime I blamed you.

I blamed you for taking the joy out of my life.
For making me feel inferior to everyone else.
For taking my ability to love someone else so that your selfish needs would be content.

And whose fault is that?
Nobody elses but my own

So as I sit here, a soul trapped in these four walls.
I listen to my beating heart.
And like the rose you gave my love has whithered away.
Hence why there will be no twinkle in my eye.
Because unlike the people outside
In here it's nobody elses fault but my own.

Sitting alone at the edge of this cliff
Remanecing on memories past
Light breeze caressing my face
The suns warmth embracing my body

Sweet smell of sea water penetrating my nose
Calming beauty of the waves crashing on the shore
Shining ellegance of the rays on water
Warming the life below

Never has my soul been so at peace
With the sheer beauty of silence
Yet a longing for a glimpse of your face
Disturbs my silence

Sadness fills my body
At the sheer thought of you
Yet my heart swells
With the love I have for you

Life filled with content of the joy I shared with you

Sitting alone at the edge of this cliff
Remanecing on memories of me and you
Adding to the sea below
As tears of happiness roll down my face
got eyes that can hypnotize a blind man

I've been pretty dry creatively lately, channeling all my energy on the music but heres something...
Waves


Liquid brush strokes,
So easily fallable
but strong enough to weather stone
with such a lover as the north wind
it lies married to a new england shore

When the sun goes down
you can smell the spice of the sea
how could i ask for more?
Just a cinnamon sky
you and I
Wading to the gentle rhythm of the shore

Raining In New York

Verse 1
The city is empty
down on Sullivan street
Not a soul left burning here alone
My ruins are trembling
and i've fractured from the fall
In a coma, outside your window
Beneath this storm.

Chorus 1
And i know I'm slipping
Cause I've grown too tired to breathe
These walls are bleeding
Marked with yesterdays feelings
Your gaping wound is spreading
Infected from my disease
It's raining in New York
And you still reign over me

Verse 2
Strange conversations
Between the wind and the fog
Color me grey, build a cloud over me
Time became the demon
Lost within a river of wine
Where i waded when i was weary

Chorus 2
And my eyes are fading
Haunted by what they've seen
A thousand jaded faces
Staring daggers at me
This world keeps me spinning
in a bittersweet symphony
Where I awaken as a tear
Thrown down the face of this city

Bridge
And the water is rising
And it doesn't seem to end
Rising with the devil
towering my head
And a thousand strands of light
Seeps into the cracks of your building
It's Still Raining in new york
Time to begin the healing

Verse 3
Love letters are falling
Into the street
Painted roses drawn on their face
It's raining in New York
And i feel so empty
Guess i'll catch the wind and drift away

Chorus 3
And i know I'm slipping
Cause I've grown too tired to breathe
Just a little guitar
Is all that i'll ever need
You'll always be cold
I'll always be lonely
Just fold me away
for a rainy day memory
I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned
With the Sunset forgetting, i ever Happened

haha no, but close
Actually Crazy Sexy, hit on the nail
Senses decieve not what the heart wants....

If he/she was even refering to my song
One thing your right, it is not a pop song, actually goes through alot changes, from art rock, to heavy metal, to floydish rock, than to Trip hop.
As for the meaning of the song, it is quite literal
i was reading Faust, and listening to alot of Sting at the time, primarily The SOul Cages, (Dark album, Obsessed you'd probably love that album, beautifully written)
And i basically wanted create a love song with a story, that wasn't really about love...
Essentially the story is about this guy, a a sort of relunctant messiah, who's confused about whats good is evil. he has some type of undisclosed power Mephistophlese one of the demons of hell has kidnapped his love, so he can black mail him. Mephisto is trying to convince this guy that Heaven and Hell are the same thing and that he shouldn't fear any repercussion, What he wants him to do is destroy the gateway that links heaven and hell so that god can't see what is going on in hell. So basically this guy right now is pissed off at both sides, because the only reason Mephisto was able to kidnapp his girl, was because God had condemned her to hell. So what he does is he goes into heaven, and destoys it. Goes to the Akashic records and sets it on fire, when he sees his girls name in it. I didn't really know how to end the song so i just wrote the verse 7 basically just repeating whatt Buddha said to Mara , a buddhist demon,
But the verse basically takes away the whole song
Everything was imagined. Because their can be no heaven with out a hell, so never existed

The bridge explains the indesicion of the protagnist, how he's done evil things and done good things and could never choose a side,
the hook was just something nice i wrote
i think it theoretically means satan in the sky, and he hides under the girl whatever i dont even know what it means lol

The exodus
IS basically like the aftermath of the dream
the dudes reflecting and is realizing that hes been chasing love and chasing life seperately, not knowing they were one
And looking after how he's abandoned all his lovers
he wonders if he is good or bad,
and wonders how is he changing now..
Last lines are just a message to the girl who he thought he saved from the demons,

But all that stuff means
Senses can only momentary blind the heart
eventually the heart wins

weirdest thing i've probably ever wrote


Well, I gave it my best shot! LOL

Weird or not, I love what you said "he realizes he's been chasing love and chasing life seperately, not knowing they were one"...that's definitely a
thought to ponder....as is, "eventually the heart wins".

I stand at the doorway
open to the garden
my eyes combing the footprints
you left behind
in the soft mud
by the white picket fence
when you ran out the door that night.

At the edge of the garden
you turned back to look at me
with a sadness in your eyes.
You wanted to return
but already didn't know how.
For a long while
I kept looking out every day
for your return.

Now it's not often anymore...
But still now and then
I look out hoping to see you
standing at my garden door
wanting to tell me
the secret you couldn't tell me
so long ago.

Mmmmm....nice one...
Great line..."Just fold me away for a rainy day memory".

Needs alot of work still not satisfied with it,
Needs to be re-written, I used too much method to write it not enough heart...
So i'll probably have a re-write session when i Feel like it.
Probably when i adapt it on piano sometime
Otherwise the ideas are still jumbled and not fluid
way too wordy and arty
That last line is probably the best

Hmmmm, I'm beginning to wonder if you're satisfied with anything....
I guess there's nothing wrong with that...always striving for more...to improve.
I don't know...oftentimes I wonder what it is any of us really want from our art....no matter what that "art" may be....more food for thought.

Haha, perhaps lol
I dunno
When i write, Sometimes theres something specific i have in my head, and envisioning
Jimi Hendrix use to say that he could see notes in the air and hear them, than he had to search how to recreate it on his guitar.
I have the samething only with words.
I see words in the air, and images
and I'm constantly searching for the best mirror of how i feel inside.
Alot of the times I over write.
trying to have my work sound refined...
and it focuses on the words too much...
Which is fine if it were poetry...
But this is music, My music...
So i gotta feel it somehow
So i'll cut and simplify it, until i only hate it a little bit.
Thats me tho...
I'm more strict with my song writer than my poetry...
with my poetry i could give a half shit...
maybe i should do the same with my song writing...
I dunno

You might be surprised....give it a try once....
Sometimes I think we can rework things to a point of no return...
I'm saying that sometimes our first impulses are the best.
If we rework things too much, whether it be song lyrics or poetry,
we sometimes lose the meaning of our original thoughts.

You're probably right
I pretty much loath everything i write...
I try to use some type of method, but shit never works
when i write with method i get writers block, for fucks sake...
But i am kind of a peerfectionist,
extremely judgemental as well...
Notice i rarely reply to other cats poetry...
Not that i don't like it. Just extremely critical, and keep my comments to myself.
And when people compliment my own, i shrug it off, thinking they're insane and don't know shit...
Constantly in a tussle with my own ego...
Hence...
