Original lyrics Seraphim - Forgive Us (Lyrics)

1 Upvotes

Oh Lord, we betrayed you like Judas

Selling you for our own brief desires

I am ashamed of what we done Sometimes I feel like a burden to you!

Why is it so hard to fight my own flesh? Why is it so hard to deny myself?

Why can't I realize a better plan for me?

I'm a sinner, not a righteous man

And because of that I need your mercy

I need your mercy every day my Lord! Why is it so hard to fight my own flesh? Why is it so hard to deny myself?

Why can't I realize a better plan for me?

I don't want to sin forever, and I don't want to burn in flames

Sometimes I feel so bound and blind

I wish I was an abortion, to never be alive

But in the darkest of my despair I see your gracious light

Lord forgive us, Lord give us strength

Lord forgive us, we know that your love never fails.

I came across this song watching Ride or Die S1E6 on Prime - and while the storyline and plot was emotionally on point - it's the lyrics of this song that elicited an emotion. Brought me to tears.

Charles Manson - Close to me

Would you mind if I approach you,

with this song, may I tell you that I watched you,

how very long, I that watched you from afar,

and now right here you are,

so close to me

now I know it isn't proper to insist,

but my heart would not allow me to resist,

so forgive me if I'm bold,

but my story must be told,

close to you,

I'm not pretending that Im perfect,

I am nothing with no vanity,

but I want you,

and I need you can't you see

you're just part of me

so just sit there for a moment

while I sing and remember with each note,

it's love that I bring,

and if you enjoy this song, then it's here that you belong,

close to me

Anyone have random lyrics that spark emotion? I realized today when Isabell says “crosslegged at the bar like nobody sits anymore” it invokes something and im not sure what.

Original lyrics Foward

1 Upvotes

Pause. Step back

Flee. The attack

Run away. Don't look back

Bags. Better pack

Once your out. You'll finally be relaxed

The bruise of trust

Is broken in love

The kiss, of palms

Is the love of the wrong

Breathe. Resent

Ignore. Intent

They always say it's not what they meant

Grieve. In stress

Escape. Feel blessed

Put your mind to rest

Never. Feel less

For wanting to escape the mess

Bleed. In distraught

Pray the blood doesn't clot

Yell. Rebel

The story. Don't tell

Or you'll pay in hell

Look. At yourself

Obey. The belt

Focus. Your health

No more hiding in stealth

I've been hearing this song a lot lately. In it, Dolly Babe says "he want to lick my bumboclaat" this means bum cloth or essentially toilet paper in Jamaican Patwah. This is nasty as fuck. Why does she say this?

Avicci - Enough is Enough

5 Upvotes

[Verse 1]
Feels like I've been waiting so long for tonight
'Cause I just can't get you out of my mind
Can you feel my heart's beating so fast?
Now you're here, know there's no turning back

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I think I'm falling
Can't hold on no more
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Just gotta let go
And as my grip unwinds
I feel your hand in mine
No, I've never felt, never felt like this before

[Chorus]
Come on babe, don't give up on us (don't give up on us)
Choose me and I'll show you love (and I'll show you love)
Let me show you love
Let me show you love (let me show you)

[Verse 2]
If you call, I'll be there at your side
If you're lost, I'll be there shining my light
'Cause every touch lifts me up to the stars
'Cause nothing could ever keep us apart

Original lyrics Rhyme I made to a earl sweatshirt type beat called all in together.

0 Upvotes

all in together time to rap at my leisure got my shit mapped like buried treasure

flipping sacred scripture and make it fresher.

with mad pressure that seem like it last forever

getting better at constructing math that you could actually measure.

and I'm only doing it for my pleasure no need to be trend setter.

when I could be a serial rhyme offender. mastermind with divine agenda to offend the member. of anger management group with a bad temper.

with lines that's splenda like fighting a man that's slender with an antenna.

for bumping Hanna Montana

make him become trans gender and change his name to savannah or Kenya just for testing my pen bruh

feeling like alduin world ender only contender you remember.

my shits been prophesied since the first of the first December.

that was the very merry birth of verse I used to dismember.

a pretender who extend the hand. of a fake friend

he was only in it to make end. now he's wondering where the pay went

while I say rhymes thats pre dating the dawn of man.

and he stay bent getting hit in his rear end for payment.

like a car crash call it fender bender. he learned it from his mentor.

who went to school. in city centre.

I went to school with a nerd name Spencer. who helped me cheat math whenever.

now I bust rhymes tough as leather. faster than the human eye can render

So it's best you surrender.

NSFW/Explicit Diss I made. I rap it too Jedi Mind tricks beat I against I. It turned out pretty good. Let me know what you guys think of the rhymes.

1 Upvotes

Curved Purgans that's a forced rhyme wonder where U Learned Them

maybe not I think I'd rather make you taste the Curb Than drive around Swerving with you in the Trunk terrorising a whole Urban.

Getting Drunk of bourbon Putting my ciggys out on ya face while U Crying it's Hurting

Claiming it's for Passion but the Transaction Happen behind the Curtain

you do it only for Attention in hopes you'd get a Mention

no need to be Pretending either way I'd beat you to Death Friend in front of ya Henchmen.

  Regurgitating my lines Claiming I didn't Pen Them.

Just know a thief meet his End When his Greed Exceeds his Worth on the Earth just Something to be Remembering

I do like the tongue and Cheek I find it Sweet as Pepper Mint

but as for a battle Barely Left a Dent don't get a Big Head cause a Pig Said your Heaven Sent

when clearly my rhymes left you Bent

you should go back to Sniffing Fent and Struggling with Rent on your homeless Tent

bitch you thought you was messing with Clark Kent but I'm more Dahmer put you head in Jar to Ferment

then eat it with Pepper chedder maybe Fedda and turn you to Excrement

then bury that under Cement make an Agreement with a local Speaks Men

to say you Went nuts and ran off into the woods to never Been Seen Again

that's what you get messing with demon who's high beaming always rapping like he don't like breathing.

beaten a cretin with verbal releasing more rhymes than bullets spit from Mac ten.

it's brains you lacking been rapping since you was in cradle sleeping.

no need to be weeping cause I'm better with pen

my objective was never to offend I'm just offering a lesson in how to treat rhyme like weapon.

serve beef that's hard to be digesting it's just a suggestion maybe you should look inward before thinking you could be correcting.

I'm sorry for your peers in how I upset them with hyperbole that's straight wrecking causing them to be stressing in obsession.

now I know you gonna be detesting my quest to get gem.

but I ain't messing your rhymes sounded more like confession of lack of technical progression.

while mine answered question of who's the best at jesting with lines so deadly they should be used in discretion

ain't no moderator but I delete you whole presence the second Im feeling like annihilator

and cater to a hater to show who's styles greater

laugh at them saying see ya later alligator maybe learn how to rap instead of treating it like an English paper

too late now you meet your maker get left beaten to death in rhyme crater

your the horrid creation I'm the creator turned curator as I erase ya with my verbal light Saber

for thinking you could step with a rep of a storm trooper taking on Vader

too bad I'ma Ill line sayer unloading mental nine when it's time to slay the invader do yourself favour

and run before I take to your brain with chain saw

or maybe just break jaw leave you crying on the floor

and when police come Id say I didn't know it was against the law

laugh some more at amateur who wanted back n forth but now paints me as villain like count Draculor

Spankin ops with spatulor for coming out vernaculor talking to a straight Bachelor

Whos running laps around them like raptor.

Laughing as they fall in my trap door then score a dunk on them basketbawl

Turn it into brawl have a ball as I massacre them all

Worst than god when the seven angels had fall

While they focused on gramtical error I'm the terror who's mathematical design will reign for ever.

Taken out contender with more nerdy shit than that dork Spencer who rocks suspender

Now remember the endeavour of the time I dissmeber. A member of the offender

Through manipulation of air like The last style bender

lyric discussion Papa_ Paul Anka

2 Upvotes

This is one of my iconic songs. Despite the simplicity of its lyrics, it carries deep meanings, touches the heart, and invites reflection on the cycle of life and the suffering inherent in it; the love of parents is something instinctive, and the exceptional case is not loving them. But with time, this love turns into an unbearable pain: the pain of watching them grow old, watching their health fade away, and expecting them to leave you soon.

Dear reader, if you have made it this far, just tell me: what is the solution to escaping this pain? Is not having children a logical solution? Or is it simply a change in the way of avoiding pain? My chest is heavy with this thought.

Lyrics:

Everyday my papa would work

To help to make ends meet

To see that we would eat

Keep those shoes upon my feet

Every night my papa would take and

Tuck me in my bed

Kiss me on my head

After all my prayers were said

Growing up with him was easy

Time just flew on by

The years began to fly

He aged and so did I

I could tell

That mama wasn't well

Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she

When she died

Papa broke down and cried

All he said was: "God, why not take me?"

Every night he sat there sleeping in his walking chair

He never went upstairs

All because she wasn't there

Then one day my Papa said:

"Son, I'm proud the way you've grown

Make it on your own. Oh, I'll be O.K. alone."

Every time I kiss my children

Papa's words ring true

Your children live through you

They'll grow and leave you, too

I remember every word my papa used to say

I live that every day

He taught me well that way

Every night, my papa would take me

Tuck me in my bed

Kiss me on my head

All my prayers were said

Original lyrics #freestyle #anotherone

“Im a soul survivor in a time where being alive is questioned more than being justified, my records clean so they think things about but this biggest mistake would be to doubt me , im the benefactor the reason that what’s done off scene made the movie, trust and believe i keep more clips than a producer should be, im talented in arts that are foreign to some, if it’s war they want then I already won, only limited by the ones i place on me in other words my progress is unlimited til the top of the seems too comfortable for me, I could care less about what someone gotta say about me , I don’t live to impress I live to prove to myself it was worth it so all of the hate I just ignore it, I’m exploring on the verge of being better than what they ever could’ve thought if it’s lonely at the top ill be use to the thought, my mind’s spinning a million times a day if I slow down it’ll be hell to pay and that’s a lifetime fee so im constantly working I gotta make sure it was worth it…”

In the high-energy section of “See U” by Jigitz, there’s a background vocal underneath “so I can see you” that sounds like it starts with something like "feel more the more you got" or something like that. Does anyone know the full line or actual lyrics? I can’t make out the rest.

The evil web

[Verse 1]

Dark magic binds to our souls

Bending our free will

Leaving us all ill

Infesting our hearts and minds

With a darkness so unreal

Imprisoned inside a mental cage

Unable to truly feel

Deceived age after age

Never to know the truth

Secrets never revealed

[Pre-Chorus]

As tales are told from books

Full of nothing but lies

It's no surprise

Because it's read and fed to us

By viscous monsters

Tongues split, eyes slit

Hiding in human disguise

[Chorus]

No one knows what's real

No one knows what's real

No one knows why

No one knows why

Truth and lies collide

And still we can't heal

No one, no one, no one knows why

[Verse 2]

Under the control of a dark spell

From the depths of hell

Deviously devised and designed

To use our gift of manifestation

To build a false reality

To render us helpless and hopeless

To blind us from our actions

As we create our own prison

Demonstrated and prefabricated

By the sickest minds

[Pre-Chorus]

To make real their heinous vision

Entranced and mesmerized

By a false light

Lured in like insects

Slowly moving closer

And closer to a fiery demise

Glitter and smoke rises and hypnotizes us

Engulfing all

[Chorus]

No one knows what's real

No one knows what's real

No one knows why

No one knows why

Truth and lies collide

And still we can't heal

No one, no one, no one knows why

[Bridge]

Intoxicating and cast upon the innocent

Simple minds bewitched

By high priests who serve the dark Lord

Forked tongues chant incantations

Causing discord

With words spoken from the book of shadows

Since this all began

It's tragic how we remain obedient

Through every step of their plan

[Breakdown]

It makes no fucking sense

Take this for instance

How we can stay silent and complacent

As everything good falls apart at our expense

Right before our eyes

They masterfully manipulate

Like clay they mold you and I

[Final Chorus]

No one knows what's real

No one knows what's real

No one knows why

No one knows why

Truth and lies collide

And still we can't heal

No one, no one, no one knows why

What has been done beneath the cruel sun

May never be undone

Looking up at the light of the moon weeping

Will we forever be entangled in this evil web they've spun?

Behind the breaths of every human mouth alive

All asking themselves...

What have we done?

Original lyrics Lyrical Meaning behind my song

4 Upvotes

Writing a lot more these days especially during moments of silent reflection. I love reading lyrics and figuring out the message or layers to them.
Would love to hear thoughts on what I’m expressing here .
Song title Velvet Knife

You look harmless.
White gloves hiding fingerprints
Champagne smile with a switchblade hint
Mercy dressed in a tailored fit
Everybody falls for it
Lipstick written like a warning sign
Silk wrapped tight around a loaded line
Truth was standing in the doorway
Nobody let it in

Slow hands
Cold eyes
Pretty things wear good disguise

Every heartbeat changed its pace
Trying just to match your shape
Truth arrived five drinks late
Looking for somebody to blame

Halo stitched with black thread
Every promise left half-said
You never pulled the trigger once
You just taught the room to aim

Soft voice
Steel frame
Everybody leaves changed

VELVET KNIFE
Cut so clean
Didn’t bleed till I got home

VELVET KNIFE
Sweet enough
To make a sinner call it love
One slow smile
One small lie
One more beautiful alibi

VELVET KNIFE

The blade apologized
That’s the part that hurt
Nobody saw the damage
Until the silence worked
The wound looked just like devotion
The scar looked just like trust
Velvet
Velvet
Velvet
Knife

VELVET KNIFE
Cut so clean
Didn’t bleed till I got home
VELVET KNIFE
Heaven wrapped in danger’s clothes
One last look
Close the door
Now you’re carved into the floor

VELVET KNIFE
Didn’t feel a thing…
Until I got home.

Long way home

Long way home

Been out riding all night
She aint leaving
and i dont wanna fight
We spent so long
Trying to get things right
So im gonna be a while…
Tonight

So im gonna take the long way home
To give us time to breathe
And with that time alone
Lets figgure out
what we truely need

So ima take the long way home
Take the long way way

I been thinking tonight
Are we both wrong
Or are we both right
Passionate words
Led to a fight
So its gonna be a while
Tonight

Im gonna take the long way home
To give us time to breathe
And with that time alone
Lets figgure out
what we truely need

So ima take the long way home
So ima take the long way home

Shes kicking rocks out of the drive
She swears shes leaving
And its for real this time
We spent too much time trying to get it right
So shes gonna be a while
Tonight

Honey take the long way home
To give us time to breathe
And with that time alone
Lets figgure out
what we truely need

Im gonna take the long way home
Honey take the long way home
Were gonna take the long way home
