Bloc_Party 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2005 As you might have guessed, I am a big fan of Bloc Party, and my songs are inspired by them, so when I think of them in my head they have the same kind of sound to Bloc Party's sound. This song doesn't really have a name, I just called it "Today", so I hope you enjoy the songs to come... Today Looking through the window of success Satring into the mirror of distress Everything seems like such a mess Seeing my reflection in the cars Walking past the noisy clubs and bars Recognising the person who walk past The streets are empty But the company is plenty Walking around the streets at the dead of night Don't know whats round the corner, a mugger, mugged or fight I'm the only one out and the feels that way I'm a walker by night and a sleeper by day I didn't do anything to make it that way And the streets are empty But the company is plenty It's 3AM and I don't feel tired I feel so alive, energetic and wired I'm walking the streets and there's no one to stop me I can do what I want I'm absolutely free And the streets are empty But the company is plenty I wonna be alone as I walk the way home The road maybe dark, but I'm in the zone The street lights are flickering And the trees are whistling And the streets are empty But the company is plenty I don't feel frightened or scared I lay myself out bare I see a shadow but there's no one there It could be a psycho but I don't really care Because the streets are empty and the company is plenty I could walk around for 10 or 20 The lights don't work but the darkness welcomes me I wonna walk around for hours without disturbance But in the 24 hours there has to be an allowence Because the streets are empty and the company is plenty And although I don't want it the sun begins to rise The people come-out and my passion dies I will stop walking when the time is right But I will be roaming the streets again by tonight.

biscuitrat 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 It's nice, doesn't have too much of a feel for it though. It looks like you were only trying to make things rhyme because they don't go rhythmically for the most part. The song title is never or rarely mentioned throughout the song.So...yeah, the concept is nice, but the meaning's just flowing past me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becca 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 nice rhyming structure and all but I don't get what it's about I know it'ssomething about walking down a street but I don't get it . I don't know if you've done this just to make everything rhyme or you wanted it like that. I like bloc party btw but they are a mainstream band so... :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BordaForx 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 Yeah, it rhymes, alot. But sometimes, you don't have to make all the endings rhyme like that. If you think of something good to put in, and it fits, put it in. Put more feelings into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bloc_Party 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 Yeah I like my songs to rhyme, I do that allot. Here's just another, hope to write more Spirit It's hiding in your head It's sleeping in your bed It keeps you alive It's keeps your drive It's hiding in your head Sleeping in your bed Following you home, behind lamp-posts Watching you silently, like a ghost It controls your mind It with you your whole life It's as warm as your heart It's as warm as your heart It's a peice of contruction, a work of art It's hiding in your head Sleeping in your bed It's a part of your mind It's ladder for your dream It helps you see things you never have seen It fights of nightmares, like a knight It heals and cares for you, after a fight It survives for live Even when your are dead It's hiding in your head Sleeping in your bed Your spirit will leave you But never forget you Floating the way you used to walk home It becomes your ghost It remembers your mind It remembers your life Your spirit was a part of you And knows you well As long as behind a lamp-post it dwells Your body will never be forgoten It's still alive Even though your body died It remembers your head It still Sleeps in your bed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
