where do you think I can go with these lyrics?

the two songs here aren't finished, and I'm asking for help/opinions.

Disappearing in the dark

Hopping stations

Don't leave a mark

Living life in the underground

A twisted midnight calls

With no direction

It fogs the walls

Living life in the underground

Lonely voices sing a tune

A harmony

With just the moon

Living life in the underground

I'm not alone

I have a song

And I atone

To where I belong

But I long to roam

Without a home

And my only friend

The tracks that don't end

A homeless man brings a song

The years grow dim

It moves along

Living life in the underground

From that man, I've learned a tune

I sing between

The train and noon

Loving life in the underground

I'm not alone

I have a song

And I atone

To where I belong

But I long to roam

Without a home

And my only friend

The tracks that don't end

next one:

The end

All my loose ends

Are tied into bends

An epilogue smiles on me

Go on, it's the end

The end

Many good men

We won't see again

Living our lives, moving on

Go on, it's the end

What do we see on the far lands?

Passing souls take their commands

With ages slipping through old hands

Never to see the same seas again

any opinions? I'm a bit of an interesting writer...think of a cross between Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, John Lennon, and Donovan. at least, that's what I'm told.

Update:

well, acoustic, like Bob and Paul S.

Update 2:

you're welcome, by the way.

Update 3:

actually Jamie, funny enough, I wrote the second song after the senior graduation from my high school. we're NJROTC, so the Navy bit was interesting to read. many of the people from my school go off into the military, which is sort of what I implied, but didn't directly say, because not all of us do.

Update 4:

thanks, ray, but I'm kind of hesitant to use that instead because I didn't write it. know the feeling?

    Your first one was good, but needed some help. I rewrote parts of it for you, I hope you like it! Your second one was great!!!

    They are hopping stations

    While disappearing in the dark

    Living life in underground

    Not leaving any mark

    With no direction to those

    Twisted midnight calls

    Living life in underground

    Really fogs the walls

    All those lonely voices

    Sometimes sing a tune

    No one else to hear them

    So they sing it to the moon

    Living life in the underground

    I'm not alone, and have a song

    and I'm attuned, to where I belong

    I love to be without a home

    and give myself, a chance to roam

    And to you, my only friend

    I'm makin tracks, that have no end

    A homeless man brings a song

    His years are long

    But he sings out strong

    Living life in the underground

    From that man, I've learned a tune

    I sing between

    The train and noon

    Loving life in the underground

    I'm not alone, and have a song

    and I'm attuned, to where I belong

    I love to be without a home

    and give myself, a chance to roam

    And to you, my only friend

    I'm makin tracks, that have no end

    next one:

    The end

    All my loose ends

    Are tied into bends

    An epilogue smiles on me

    Go on, it's the end

    The end

    Many good men

    We won't see again

    Living our lives, moving on

    Go on, it's the end

    What do we see on the far lands?

    Passing souls take their commands

    With ages slipping through old hands

    Never to see the same seas again

    the first one... i like it! it puts visions in my mind of a man living on railroad tracks underground and he's kind of lonely but likes it. although i would take away the "living life underground" i don't really know how you see it.... a rock song... classical... jazz... punk.... idk. but other than that part (i would take out that cuz it sounds too much like poetry and i can't find a way to sing it unless it like, cuts off or something or maybe 3 beats per measure? but anyways yeah cut it out maybe). its your music so i wont really tell you what to write but i like it :)

    the second one... great! it reminds me of an elderly man that was once in the navy maybe... but the only small con is the poetry type thing again. but after reading how you write i find that's your thing and what you like... so it's great, keep it up!! and some lyrics have inspired me to make another song... i write songs and play guitar but lately i've had writers block because i had no idea where to start. i have sooo many unfinished lyrics and/or tabs and chords for guitar for new songs. but i need lyrics first then match the music to it...

    thank-you!! :)

    hope i helped! -jamie

    Source(s): great!

    My opinion? Very interesting, seems more like poetry than lyrics all though I suppose they can be the same thing (Bob Dylan). Out of interest in what manner would these be sung, what style? p.s Thanks for the comment on my question, the song brought back memories of hearing my parents playing it while I was a child.

    sure, it is approximately the evil of guy. except, i incredibly doubt that the satan had something to do with the demise of jesus, the one hundred years warfare, the russian revolution, the blitzkrieg in global warfare two, both kennedy assassinations, or the individuals killed at the hippie path. so it have to all were guy's doing. it is a cool historical past lesson despite the fact that.

    Your words are very interesting and unique, very hard to understand what your talking about lol xD

    But overall beautiful lyrics, I could see you or even myself singing this wonderful masterpiece! :)

    But it keeps the listeners guessing what your talking about. :)

    Very beautiful. I like the first on Bette than th other but they are both good. I agree with the other user that it sounds like poetry, but song lyrics are poetry so... :) Good job and thanks for your answer!

  • 9 years ago

    I like both. WHy don't you combine them both into one song. That's what i would do
