I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
I've put down the following lyrics pretty quickly. But when reading them again I found that the bridge did either not fit at all or would rather distract listeners from more general message that I had in mind. Next I replaced the line "my anger when you stole my toy" with "my anger when they stole my toy" so as to make clear that 'you' in the bridge is not supposed to be the same person from my childhood days I'm referring to in the first verse. Maybe I'll simply scrap the bridge. On the other hand, the interpretation that it is a song about one particular lifelong relationship could (or should?) be a valid one. As in this review (excerpt):
"I have no problem with the bridge and really enjoyed how you brought us along from the beginning of the relationship till its end. Good Job!"
Here's the text:
laughter, overboarding joy
my anger when they stole my toy
- it's all there
wet dreams, and my first crush
the first kiss, and a secret touch
- it's all there
nothing's lost
nothing's gone forever
when you feel
you're in heavy weather
and you're at
the end of your tether
then you'll see
- it's all there
friendship, my comrades' trust
throwbacks, and days of lust
- it's all there
prospects full of hope
confidence that I would cope
- it's all there
nothing's lost
nothing's gone forever
when you feel
you're in heavy weather
and you're at
the end of your tether
then you'll see
- it's all there
do not fear that I'd forget
do not fear that I'd regret
just a single day
that we've had
nothing's lost
nothing's gone forever
when you feel
you're in heavy weather
and you're at
the end of your tether
then you'll see
- it's all there
