I've been rocking out

 I'm currently obsessed with rock, pop/rock, alternative rock and punk rock. (ish) So here are some lyrics to match. Haha.
As you can see, the design of this blog has changed. I thought I'd give it a new look, a more bright and fun look. Hope you like it.

Say Goodbye To the Past

You push yourself, tear yourself down,
You try to fix but you can't find your way out.
That's some strength inside of you.

You used to think you couldn't run away,
Well, you proved yourself wrong and chose the right way.
I bet the others didn't even think twice.

Now ask them if they have anything to say... (anything to say)
Now ask them if they want them to repay... (to repay)

*chorus*
Misjudged and mistreated,
You thought you were defeated.
But no one can take you down, (no one can take you down.)
You've got to keep trying,
Tie knots that keep unwinding,
Just to hold you life in place now, (hold you life in place now)
Each second is ticking by,
Make sure you don't hide,
Because it's time to say goodbye... to the past.

How long has it been.
Since the walls were pushing in?
It's keeping you inside, trapping you.

Quit your trying to please,
You're only making it harder to be,
Able to have the confidence to bring them all down.

Now ask them if they have anything to say... (anything to say)
Now ask them if they want them to repay... (to repay)

*chorus*
Misjudged and mistreated,
You thought you were defeated.
But no one can take you down, (no one can take you down.)
You've got to keep trying,
Tie knots that keep unwinding,
Just to hold you life in place now, (hold you life in place now.)
Each second is ticking by,
Make sure you don't hide,
Because it's time to say goodbye... to the past.

Don't you want to know what it feels like,
To be able to have freedom in our life.
Now ask them if they have anything to say.
Now ask them if they want them to repay.

*chorus*
Misjudged and mistreated,
You thought you were defeated.
But no one can take you down, (no one can take you down.)
You've got to keep trying,
Tie knots that keep unwinding,
Just to hold you life in place now, (hold you life in place.)
Each second is ticking by,
Make sure you don't hide,
Because it's time to say goodbye... to the past.

No one can take you down.

No one can take you down...
Note from the songwriter: Lyrics that are written in parentheses ( ) are echoed.

oh the wonderful creations that my mind creates as a result of listening to Paramore, Hey Monday, and Nevershoutnever.

With the promises that remain,
It's not easy to explain how this cloud of darkness is made.
I'm feeling dizzy inside,
The towers collide as we try to reach higher.

I try to take, take, take it slowly,
Help, help, help myself from being lonely.
Would you ever consider getting me back?
I hope to wish, wish, wish for more peace,
Hope, hope, hope that the fights will cease,
Have you ever wondered why I'm a mess?

It's not finished, I know it's actually something I came up with on the spot as I was checking this blog.
I'll try my best to continue it soon!
Hope you like it.

Fyi, the genre for this song is probably alternative rock or pop/rock.


Paramore
Hey Monday
NeverShoutNever

Silence

Silence. It's a freaky sound. It's a scary feeling- a feeling of loneliness, darkness and suspense.
Not fun.
It's not the silence of when people stop chattering. It's the dead silence. Where nothing, NOTHING can be heard. Not even yourself breathing.
Yeah, that's when it gets deeps.
Dead silence is like pain. Once it hits it's scary. You can't get rid of it right away. You're too speechless to say a peep. Slowly but surely it goes. It hides, but it will come again.
Don't worry, it's almost entirely harmless.
I think it is.
You barley hear a peep.
Trust me, I think it wont hurt you.
But it will come again one day...

^ So here it is. One of my deep journal entries. It was something I wrote when I was down. It's actually dated 12.03.2010.
Spine-chilling isn't is?
Hope you like it!

Stronger.

Another song! Yay!

Stronger

Hey you, can you hear me?
Hear me screaming?
I can't keep my mouth shut,
Because I can't control it.

Hey you, can you see me,
'Cause I feel invisible.
I'm hiding in the corner,
Because I can't take it anymore.

Do you bother even trying?
Don't you realize that I'm crying?
I feel like I'm fighting with fire,
The fire that never burns out.

*chorus*
And inside I feel so broken up,
I think I've had enough oh this.
Through all these years I tried so hard,
It's made me weak, broken up.
I can't stand it,
I have to learn to let go,
I can't bear it,
I have to heal slowly...
And make myself stronger.

Hey you, can you apologize?
I guess sorry isn't in your mind.
It's like you're so ignorant,
I can't even have a hand to hold on.

Do you bother even trying?
Don't you realize that I'm crying?
I feel like I'm fighting with fire,
The fire that never burns out.

*chorus*

And inside I feel so broken up,
I think I've had enough oh this.
Through all these years I tried so hard,
It's made me weak, broken up.
I can't stand it,
I have to learn to let go,
I can't bear it,
I have to heal slowly...
And make myself stronger.

I feel like I'm fighting with fire,
The fire that never burns out.
The flame is burning, shining its light,
It's time to end, time to quit the fight.

*chorus*
Inside I feel so broken up,
I think I've had enough oh this.
Through all these years I tried so hard,
It's made me weak, broken up.
I can't stand it,
I have to learn to let go,
I can't bear it,
I have to heal slowly...
And make myself stronger.

Dreaming the days away...

I had a dream and suddenly these lyrics popped in my head. Hope you like it! :)

I guess no one can take the place,
of you.
Despite how far we are,
or farther we move.
The memories remain in my heart,
with the truth,
of how much I care.

No one understands the role you play in my life,
No one understands how you shine your light,
On everyone else, on me...
*chorus*
You are the one who gives me inspiration.
You are the one who keeps my head high.
You are the one who never sees through me.
And the only one who's the hardest to say goodbye... to.

I guess no one really cares,
about me.
They just want their own way,
and be bossy.
You're the only one who knows,
How I feel,
While everyone is ignoring.

No one understands the role you play in my life,
No one understands how you shine your light,
On everyone else, on me...

*chorus*
You are the one who gives me inspiration.
You are the one who keeps my head high.
You are the one who never sees through me.
And the only one who's the hardest to say goodbye... to.

It's like no one is listening to me screaming.
I feel like the who world is breaking me inside.
When others don't care and they separate,
I remember you and my heart tries to say...

*chorus*
You are the one who gives me inspiration.
You are the one who keeps my head high.
You are the one who never sees through me.
And the only one who's the hardest to say goodbye... to.

No one understands the role you play in my life,
No one understands how you shine your light.

Hope, Peace, Love, and... Perfect?

I just thought that I would talk about the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan. (March 11, 2011)
Why? Because the poem that I'm about to post is kind of serious and heartwarming just like the event that had occurred in Japan.
I actually wanted to post this before, around the time the earthquake and tsunami happened but I didn't have my laptop at the time.
It's very sad to see a very strong country washed away in a matter of minutes. And I really do hope that Japan will grow into an even stronger nation. I send my hope, love and prayers to Japan and I wish for the best.

On the topic for hoping and wishing for the best, I'm going to post a poem that I wrote about a year and a half ago. It's actually about finding who you are and trying to be your best but it's a very special and heartwarming poem for me because whenever I read it, it makes me stronger.

Here it goes,

Perfect

When I close my eyes,
And drift away,
I'm inside a whole new world.

I'm inside my world,
Where my dreams come true,
And I realize I'm not alone.

When the real world beckons,
I feel like I'm pressured,
To be someone I'm not.

Do I shy away?
And hide who I am,
I cannot pretend.

I don't want to be that other,
But I want to blend in.
And not stand out in the crowd.

I have to find myself,
That me that has drifted away,
I have to search far away.

The me that I am,
It's hard to change.
Am I sorry if I can't change myself?

I just keep trying,
Look upon me and realize,
That I'm not perfect.

About to be trashed...

Oh hey, the title above looks like a song title doesn't it?
Maybe I'll try to write a song called "About to Be Trashed."
Cool.

I should clean my room more often; not to just make my mom happy but because I found a notebook and on the first page I wrote a poem. After playing around with some chords and melodies on the piano, I "magically" transformed it into a song. I'm such an awesome magician.
The poem turned out into two verses; but that's better than nothing!

It's easier to come and go,
And walk out that door.
For you it seems like no big deal,
For me it's something more.

I tried to listen to other songs,
To make my mood change.
But it's hard enough to face the truth,
When I have to face the pain.

WHAT A MASTERPIECE! I feel so proud. :)

Thanks for reading!

Gleeeeeek!

As you can tell from the title, I like Glee. I especially love their songs... well, the covers the songs. I was watching the episode where they write their own songs, and I got inspired by one of the songs that Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) sang. She truly has a powerful voice.
The part that really cracked me up was when the Glee club sang "Loser Like Me."
It was epic. : )

If there is a question lurking about in your head like "Why haven't you posted any songs in the past 2-3 weeks or so?" then let me answer: My laptop screen isn't working (weird eh?) and I still need to get it fixed, but while that happened, my dad's computer also didn't work so we got that fixed.
I feel bad for my laptop. I hope it gets repaired soon.

Here's another one of my songs. Enjoy!

Drifted Into Yesterday

I feel like I don't know you,
I'm getting annoyed by your attitude.
I feel like you're telling lies,
'Cause you never acted like you tried.

Here we go, down this bumpy road,
I get stuck, not knowing where to go.
You seem to find your path,
And I never thought we'd have a last.

The moments that we've shared,
I never thought I'd be prepared,
For the ending of my fairytale.
Somehow I feel so lost,
Everything seems to be gone,
And I can't find the words to say,
My mind's drifted into yesterday.

That's basically all I have for today. It seems like I'm only writing half-songs. Truth is, I am but I do finish them, I just forget to post them on this blog because I get excited about my new songs! :)

On the Spot

So don't push me out of your way,
I'm here in front of you to say.
That I'm moving on and away,
From the past.

I've got to forget the past,
And stay where I'm at.
But the memories still last,
In my heart.

It too hard just waiting for miracles to come true.
I'm sitting on my steps trying to make my own moves.

I know that it's too late to look back,
And I feel like I feel for those lies.
And I never knew it could end this way,
And if you could see whats in my eyes,
I wonder what you could see.

So that's basically all I have right now. I just made it up on the spot.
I hope you like it!

New Song!

You seem to think that I don't know,
Seem to think that I don't care,
I'm not ignorant,
I know everything that's going on.

So stop acting like you're better,
Because you're not.
We're all the same.
I'm trying to make things work out.

And now according to you,
I'm the only one who doesn't understand

*chorus*
Don't tell me that you're sorry,
Don't tell me that you don't mean a thing.
Don't tell me that you're not sure.
I know whats going on in your head.


You might be trying to sort this all out,
But you're not trying hard enough.
And I'm all alone,
Because it's hard to bear with it all in my head.

Why is it so tough to walk away?
Especially when I'm walking from you?

*chorus*
Don't tell me that you're sorry,
Don't tell me that you don't mean a thing.
Don't tell me that you're not sure.
I know whats going on in your head.

Don't you bring me down,
I'm ready for what it takes.
I'm going to grow stronger,
Despite what you say.


*chorus*
Don't tell me that you're sorry,
Don't tell me that you don't mean a thing.
Don't tell me that you're not sure.
I know whats going on in your head.

How slow am I

I'm sorry for not posting for a long time and not posting as much as I used to. I've been really busy with school and making more music.
Oh, and I just want to say..
I GOT MY ELECTRIC GUITAR!!! *happy dances* :D
It's a Fender Strat. I just thought you might want to know.
I'm so hyper at the moment!
I'll keep posted and y'all keep reading!
Thanks!

Song title is unavailable at the moment.

Life passes by quickly, doesn't it?
It seemed like just yesterday that I wrote a song, but it's actually been 2 WEEKS.
I don't know what happened to me. I've never had writer's block for such a long time. I've also been having these massive headaches. Well, I'm back and ready to write more songs!
Here's a song. I don't know what the title is. Any suggestions? I thought of either "Where are you" or "Stay by my Side."

It seems like yesterday,
You held me up.
You kept telling everyone,
How good I was.

You always had faith,
That my dreams would come true.
You always wanted,
To help me pursue.

You kept me from falling,
You acted like a shield.
You held me in your arms,
And you know how I feel.

*chorus*
But where are you now?
Because I'm lost and I need you here.
Where are you now?
Because I just want to disappear.
I can't take it.
I want to hide.
Can you save me.
Please stay by my side.

I wonder how you are,
You were always so strong.
You always made me smile,
And you smiled all day long.

You always told me,
That I could be anyone.
You knew if I dream big,
I will be someone.

You kept me from falling,
You acted like a shield.
You held me in your arms,
And you know how I feel.

*chorus*
But where are you now?
Because I'm lost and I need you here.
Where are you now?
Because I just want to disappear.
I can't take it.
I want to hide.
Can you save me.
Please stay by my side.


I hope you like it! :D 

Friday Night.

I like how I'm currently writing a song while eating chocolate chip cookies. Yum! And it's currently 12:35AM.
This is how I spend my Friday nights. :) Isn't it amazing!
Chocolate gives me brain power. Totally.
Well then, as usual, I'll be posting another song. (or at least a part of it.)

I have about 2 verses and the pre-chorus at the moment. They're a bit rough and they need some editing but they're not horrible either.

Do you know the memories in my heart?
Can you read my mind?
I'm dreaming crazy thoughts in my head,
Every night.

I never thought it would come true,
The day I thought that you didn't care.
And each day it's transforming,
Dreams to nightmares.

How long will it be 'till it will be the same?
How long will it be 'till you change...?

Haha. Isn't it deep?
Thanks for reading. Keep reading my blog. I really appreciate it.
Peace!

There was a pile of crumpled up papers in the corner of my room.

I was trying my hardest to finish this song that I started a few days ago. Luckily, I did finish it. Yay!
This song is really personal to me but whenever I read it, it makes me feel better. It's something that really helped me through my tough times. After writing it, my heart felt so much better and lighter.

Songwriting is really therapy. :)

About Me

I've got to make a stand for myself,
So just move out of the way.
I've got to break some rules,
So you can hear what I have to say.

I've got to make myself feel superoir,
 And stand up tall for who I am,
I've got to believe that I can reach the stars,
Since you won't help me get there.

I wont to hide under my shell,
I've been hiding all this time.
For as long as I can remember,
You were never there, helping me fly.

Why are you running back,
When you know I wont take you?
Why do you keep trying,
When your chances are all used?
Forget about the excuses,
They're nonsense.
If only I had the feeling that you cared,
About me.

I've got to make sure I'm okay,
So I don't end up breaking down,
I'm hiding everything with a smile,
Because you can't read my mind.


I wont to hide under my shell,
I've been hiding all this time.
For as long as I can remember,
You were never there, helping me fly.


Why are you running back,
When you know I wont take you?
Why do you keep trying,
When your chances are all used?
Forget about the excuses,
They're nonsense.
If only I had the feeling that you cared,
About me.

I'm sick and tired because of you,
You're pretending to be someone you're not.
You're not the person who cares.
I know... oh I know...

If you did care, I would've gotten the feeling in my heart...
 
Why are you running back,
When you know I wont take you?
Why do you keep trying,
When your chances are all used?
Forget about the excuses,
They're nonsense.
If only I had the feeling that you cared,
About me.


If you did care, I would've gotten the feeling in my heart...

What an embarassment.

I was looking through some files on my laptop and I found a document of some of my old songs that were typed up. I think they were about 3 years ago...
I'm actually embarrassing myself by showing you a snippet of my older songs, but when I read over it, I just laughed and I thought it was pretty good, considering that I started to write songs at that time. (maybe a year or 2 earlier.)
Well, here it goes. :)

First impressions make a big difference,
Of what other see.
You're able to see the outside,
Not the inside of me.
You just try to find who I am,
And not let me free,
It's hard to change myself,
When others believe...

That I have a perfect life...
Trust me, no I don't.
You think that...
I have no worries inside,
But you don't understand,
That I just keep trying,
To make my life what I want it to be.
I just wish that you could believe,
That I'm not living my life perfectly...

Sometimes you expect me to be so great,
It's hard to even try.
Every time I make a mistake,
You don't let it pass by.
You think I can do everything,
Do you know it's a lie?
I'm just starting to grow my wings,
And you're already making me fly...

 

And the hyperness begins! ☺

If you read the "about me" it's written that I get hyper about the littlest things. That, my friends, its true.
At the moment, I am getting really hyper because I just learned some new songs on Tino. Tino, as you all know is my guitar. Some of the songs that I learned are...
Teenage Dream- Katy Perry
Like a G6- Far East Movement
Mine- Taylor Swift
Teardrops on My Guitar- Taylor Swift (my favorite!!) ♥
The Only Exception- Paramore
Grenade- Bruno Mars
World of Chances- Demi Lovato
This is Me- Demi Lovato feat. Jonas Brothers

That's all I've learned right now.

Thanks for reading! :)

Changed.

Hey everyone!
I just heard this song on the radio (I don't know what it's called. haha)  and I came up with this new song that I'm about to post. It's not finished, I still need to make a bridge.
So, here goes...

Each day is ticking by so fast,
I never knew time could make an impact,
On you.

I knew it was never simple, not easy,
To get used to something different,
On you.

As we take small steps to move forward,
As I'm trying to not look back.
As I'm trying to let go,
Inside I'm wishing that you know...

Hey darling,
Did you ever know,
My eyes were shining,
I was mind blown.
When we first met,
Back in the old days,
Everything we had,
Has changed.

Even until this time, you never cared,
Every single day you make me stare,
All around.

Have you ever realized or found the clues,
Everything that I've been sending you.
I guess not.

As we take small steps to move forward,
As I'm trying to not look back.
As I'm trying to let go,
Inside I'm wishing that you know...

Hey darling,
Did you ever know,
My eyes were shining,
I was mind blown.
When we first met,
Back in the old days,
Everything we had,
Has changed.


Okay. So that's all I have so far. I remember the song was from Taylor Swift. Haha. I'm obsessed with her. I also love her guitar. :)
Please tell me how this is. I would really like some feedback. I feel like this is one of my best songs yet.
Thanks. :]

A natural habit...

When I write songs, I always have a few pages just for doodles.
I believe you've already seen them from some of my older posts. Well, here's another doodle page that I worked on. And it ends up being the last page of my songbook.

Time to get a new one. :)

This doodle page isn't exactly full of "doodles." It's a whole bunch of my favorite song lyrics and titles of my favorite songs, and favorite artists. Some of these lyrics are actually inspirational and they motivate me.

This is basically what I do when I'm stuck on a song. Writing other lyrics helps me come up with more of my own lyrics. I just figured that our recently and now I do it all the time. :)

As you can see, I have written "Tino" somewhere in this picture. Tino is actually my guitar's name. (haha, yes. I actually did name it.)

I'm really sorry if some of the lyrics are messy. Sometimes my printing is extremely neat and other times it's really messy. It just depends on my mood. : D

Accidental incident.

So I happened to mess around with the template designer and I came across this background. I clicked on this background to see what it would look like. Personally, I liked it but I wasn't planning to change anything. I unintentionally clicked on the "apply to blog" button and it took me back to the home page. I'm starting to get used to it.
Let me know what you think. Do you like this background or the one I had before.
They sort of look similar... :)

Thanks.

Confusion is like a time warp, sucking in all your thoughts and drifting you in a new world.

The title is actually a line from a poem. I really like it so I thought I'd put it as my title.
It really has nothing to do with this chorus that I'm posting.
You like?
So, speaking of choruses, here it is.

"Do you know that i'm okay?
Do you know that i'm fine?
There's something that's hurting me inside.
Do you care about how I feel?
Do you care if it's not the same.
If only I could replay.
