I guess I’ll be the first one in this thread to comment on some of these lyrics.

Enamorada (Girl in Love): It must sound better in its native language.

Love Story: As long as Taylor Swift is emulating Juliet, I have a suggestion for her…

Beautiful Death: Very emo, but this seems like a song that could be good… just heard the song in the link you posted… not so good. It’s one of those metal bands that tries to compensate lack of talent with beast voice and aggressive but imprecise drumming.

The Prison Song: I’ve heard this song. It’s not exactly a song, nor is it much fun to listen to, nor are those lyrics so much as they are repeated facts.

Pretender: Again, I know this song, and I like the lyrics, but the lyrics are nothing without Dave Grohl screaming them.

Dounimo Tomaranai: These lyrics would work as a tween idol song, but not so much a salsa song.

Generation: This song falls apart at the chorus, and this man does not speak for everyone in his generation.

You're Gonna Go Far, Kid: I love this song too, best song of the year in my opinion, but the lyrics don’t adequately convey how many intricate hooks this song has packed into three minutes.

Okay, my turn. If you haven’t been viewing my 5000th post thread, here are the lyrics and link to a song I wrote called “A Boy’s Last Stand.”

A Boy’s Last Stand

I knew the guys who had their fingers on the button,
And I watched as all their warheads struck a home.
Through the shock and the awe, I was left here to thaw
With all the children arrested on an unwritten law.

I was begging for peace, but I didn’t try to reach
For what I deemed to be a fleeting sense of hope.
Through the night unconcerned with the books as they burned,
I aligned with the pages who were waiting for a turn.

When crayons are candles and bottles erase,
There comes a time for a boy to be betrayed.

They left a wound I’ve been clutching since the day I looked around,
A tune I’ve been singing since my castle hit the ground.
I’m alone, yet, I’m surrounded.
Lost the war, but I found it.

I knew the guys who flew a mission through the canyons
And I heard how they were tested to the bone.
Through the bulk of their tale, I was turning so pale
With all the boasting of bombing and all to no avail.

They were storming the beach where they said they’d achieve
What I deemed to be a fleeting sense of hope.
Through the walls of my room, it was safe to assume
There were privates enlisting in a curious platoon.

When princess is rental and tadpoles escape,
There comes a time for a boy to be betrayed.

They left a wound I’ve been clutching since the day I looked around,
A tune I’ve been singing since my castle hit the ground.
I’m alone, yet, I’m surrounded.
Lost the war, but I found it.

We sat in a row and they told me the truth.
She drinks it, smokes it, panders it to
He shoots it, stabs it, hammers it through,
And I—I didn’t know what to do
As I left that bench with a gaping wound.

When virtue is crippled as shrapnel invades,
There comes a time for a boy to be betrayed.

They left a wound I’ve been clutching since the day I looked around,
A tune I’ve been singing since my castle hit the ground.
I’m alone, yet, I’m surrounded.
Lost the war, but I found it.
