Song I wrote for my band. Probably not the greatest thing you've ever read, but I gave it a shot. lol It's based off the book "1984".
Ignorance, It's a deceitful thing Masks the emptiness, of which we clearly see And you'd like to think you're happy Believing the lies of the ministry But when a little knowledge becomes too much to know What's to know What's to know? Chorus: But the words you say have little variety In this idea of a "perfect society" To realize that a life living just to live the next day has little meaning makes you follow the preachings of hate Then it might be late Oh, it just might be late Slavery, It's a confusing thing Masks the leaders, of which we blindly heed And we'd like to think that we're all free But when the mass follows the words of a TV Then what is free? What it free Chorus: But the words you say have little variety In this idea of a "perfect society" To realize that a life living just to live the next day has little meaning makes you follow the preachings of hate Then it might be late Oh, it just might be late Love, Can be such a hateful thing Masks our intentions, of which we can't agree and we'd like to say we think we feel love but when you can't pray to your God above, Then what is love? What is love? |

Rhymes are forced, and the length of the chorus is entirely too long. Chorus should always be shorter than verses as it makes the read easier and it is easier to figure out which is the chorus so you don't have to put tags above each portion.
Aside from that the write is okay, you have a point and stick to the point throughout the lyric. The only real issue is that all of the lines are forced rhymes (know is repeated too much, living/meaning/hate/late-again repeated too much, heed/free-also repeated too much). Writing is an art no different than painting or drawing, if someone keeps drawing or painting the same object all over the canvas it becomes pretty boring, if that same artist forced themselves to draw a house when they know they cannot draw a house the painting comes out with that in the eye. Work with it if you want, however it doesn't sound like you are all that serious about writing. |
