yeah i'm not really the best person at figuring out what songs are about... :/
also you aint last place as i've only voted on 3 ppl. 6.8/10 might seem bad atm, but i do tend to jiggle around with the ratings as i complete my votes.

RunAmokRampant 01-13-2005 07:30 PM

addicted_tochaos Ive heard of the band nevermore but never heard any of their songs so I will check them out. thanks for telling me

Disco Dragon 01-13-2005 10:54 PM

I apologize to anyone who thinks my song is jumbled and moved around. I didn't mean for it to seem that way. Oh, and dOpe, at the end of the song where he (I guess, unsuspectingly) lives, it was meant to be that the whole song was leading up to him being so badly beaten, and you see what it would have been like had he not faught back. The end part is sort of an "alternate ending" of sorts, where he does fight back and becomes better because of it. I know, that sh[I]i[/I]t sounds really trite...but I can't help it.

Disco Dragon 01-13-2005 10:55 PM

Oh.......and how come I can only read 2 posts on page 5? Are there supposed to be more, or is there a reason is abruptly ends after one of Subtle's and one of Pixies' posts. Kind of odd.

There's supposed to be more, your internet sucks.

[QUOTE=6945]Hey look...Disco Dragon's mom posted in the voting thread....[/QUOTE]

That’s impossible, she was too busy having sex with you! (Ha, see how I switched it up on ya.)

[QUOTE=DFelon]And then Disco's dad got drunk and beat him.[/QUOTE]

Beat me with [I]love[/I].


Oh, and DF, I wasn’t trying to be clever with it. Not really. And this wasn’t all to be as it was happening, only the italicized parts. Everything else was supposed to be reflective, but it’s going through his mind as if it’s happening in the moment. I guess reliving it would be a better description. So therefore, the kid is not trying to be ironic. The kid, by the way, is supposed to be in his pre-teen/early teen years. And he wasn’t weak, he just never tried to fight back until he got completely fed up with it. As for the kid drinking alcohol, it was supposed to reflect that he was doing what he saw his father always do. That same idea is expressed in the end when he fights back against his dad. I guess you could say monkey-see, monkey-do…if you’re a douchebag, that is.

Like my avatar, Mr. Felon?

d0ped0g 01-15-2005 11:39 PM

i like it

jurialmunkey 01-16-2005 12:49 AM

I don't. It smells like stinky cheese.

pixiesfanyo 01-16-2005 10:25 AM

Jurial is funky.

jurialmunkey 01-16-2005 01:36 PM

^^The only type of lies that are exceptable are white lies to make someone feel better.

SubtleDagger 01-16-2005 01:39 PM

Oh come now, he loves the avatar, it's Cut Man, he'll cut you apart!

jurialmunkey 01-16-2005 03:31 PM

I was kidding.

Disco Dragon 01-16-2005 05:33 PM

Sorry my description didn't come across in the song. I'll have to work on that for future songs.

Pixies, why are opinions like kittens? Is it because they're cute? Or because they're [I]deadly[/I]?.........Or perhaps some other reason I have not thought of....

RunAmokRampant 01-16-2005 10:42 PM

To give a little better understanding to my song to those who may not quite grasp my concept, the lotus represents earth and nature and everything we as a human race take for granted. Earth reaches out to the stars to find ways to help preserve itself and its inhabitants yet those who are in its care fight amongst themselves before wasting all the resources in order to kill their enemies. When they realise what they've done they leave for the next unfortunate planet. Probably Mars but anyway I hope that brief outline helps

We got it the first time. When you explained it at the end of your song.

RunAmokRampant 01-17-2005 02:40 AM

ok then but I just wanted to make clear what I'm trying to say. In the end of song I just explained the definitions, not message. But thanks for telling me. I must be doing something right then

jurialmunkey 01-17-2005 05:29 PM

I must apologise if I don't get my votes done. I'm flying back home to Australia tonight so I'm sorry if I don't get them done... I'm too busy getting ready to go to do them now. If I get a chance to get them done when I get back home then I will but I can't promise anything. Sorry guys.

RunAmokRampant 01-17-2005 07:47 PM

I think Pixiesfanyo should take back what he said in the voting. I understand his opinion and all and that's fair enough but to insult me is another thing. Isn't that a breech in the rules. I tried hard this challenge and used higher vocabulary. You crit me for doing it yet when someone else such as Jurial uses it, its cool. With a 4 star rep you should consider giving more respect even if my post count may be low. I don't go around voting calling people faggots just because I don't like their songs. It's called CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Use it instead of putting people down. They don't improve if you just insult them. If the LC forums are becoming ghetto and crap, I know who to point the finger at.

pixiesfanyo 01-18-2005 08:11 AM

Disco: Opinions are like kittens 'cuz i'm giving them away

RunAmok: That sounds like something a faggot would say.

I agree...that sh*t serves no purpose

Sever 01-18-2005 10:54 AM

Lyrics are poetry set to music, right? There is no special structure required for something to be a lyric as long as it is planned to have music behind it, though there are status-quos that everyone feels are nessicary to have in lyrics. Why are most of you stating that my entry is not a lyric? Many of the lyrics my band uses are in this style ([url]http://www.pathogenic.tk[/url] if you want to check it out).

Sorry, but its just pissing me off that all of you are going crazy because it's not in a verse/chorus structure.

You can't right in what ever style you want.

But if you do a prose type piece, acutally make it good.

That is why you are getting rated low. Don't blame it on us not liking the structure.

There is no black/white definition of lyrics. Its all subjective. When I read an entry here, I vote on what the piece envokes in me. Your points, as stated, are all valid. Someone could put the rules to this challenge to music and probably have (see cytoplasmicglob) and who is to say if they're lyrics or not. Your entry did not envoke a musical/lyrical sense in me. I thought it very interesting piece but got much more of a spoken vibe than musical.

d0ped0g 01-18-2005 09:42 PM

OMG PIXIESFANYO rep-- X 1337 !!!~!E#!@!#@!@ !!

Disco Dragon 01-18-2005 10:46 PM

Wow, there is a whole lot of bickering going on in here. I'm gonna go ahead and tell everybody to take it down a notch. Ya know, possibly consider taking your heads out of each other's [I]a[/I]sses? Just a suggestion.....

super deluxe 01-19-2005 02:19 AM

*sigh*


Disco, dude, you aren't helping.
