I used to turn my back to the sun
not face the light of day
I used to soon go back to the moon
to later run away
I used to turn my back to the sun
and wait by the meadow
And I would watch the light going by
until I would see your shadow
Well I'm a falling star, burning up when finally shining
Because we've come too far...
I used to drink the water I'm now drowning in
I used to think my life was finally flowering
But the boat missed the shore, it's out of sight and out for more
I'm out of time, the sun has set, my only guide is a single star
But it's a falling star, burning up when finally shining
Because we've come too far, in wrong places and the wrong timing
Because we go too far...
Where is the tower?
How to find the route?
When will I flower?
First I'll need to root...
We have come too far, because we go too far
So I'm a falling star, burning up when finally shining
Burning up when finally shining
not face the light of day
I used to soon go back to the moon
to later run away
I used to turn my back to the sun
and wait by the meadow
And I would watch the light going by
until I would see your shadow
Well I'm a falling star, burning up when finally shining
Because we've come too far...
I used to drink the water I'm now drowning in
I used to think my life was finally flowering

But it's a falling star, burning up when finally shining
Because we've come too far, in wrong places and the wrong timing
Because we go too far...
Where is the tower?
How to find the route?

First I'll need to root...
We have come too far, because we go too far
So I'm a falling star, burning up when finally shining
Burning up when finally shining

A Way to Forget
I was seeking aimlessly
through the jars of my life.
I found them in a dream,
these great, magic urns,
one containing butter, one, milk
others filled with grains or brass or gold.
I was looking for the lids, in order to cover them up
but i could not find even one.
Sometimes, I would spill a little and
sometimes, I would return from elsewhere
to find them empty
This caused me a great deal of anxious sadness
just sitting there, looking into the empty containers
that once held my life
I woke up some time later and checked the clock
10 pm
I had not had a drink in several hours.
I needed a drink.

Trust
Trust.
It's something earned,
Not given.
It's like an ember of my heart,
Placed inside yours
To hold and protect.
Extinguishing it or throwing it away
Will break our bond,
It may never be repaired.
Don't try to steal an ember,
For it's not rightfully yours
Until I personally place it in your chest.
Once it's there,
It grows and strengthens
Until it's a fire.
A fire of trust
That can't be extinguished
That can't be thrown out.
It will always be there,
Linking me to you.

I think I'm getting better... I'm finally learning to rewrite
Its a few months ago since I wrote this song, based on a piano melody that appeared in my head from nowhere At first i thought it was a part of a song i had forgotten, but i never found out what song it is from so I've decided to assume my head came up with it all by itself
I wrote music and lyrics around it, but never liked the second verse that much. So a few months later (last week) I rewrote this part, and i added lyrics to the middle 8 as well. I really like how that turned out
Soo I hope you like it as well

"Atmosphere" The stars are blinding, The planets are entwining And I find myself behind, As I look up towards the moon So I count to ten and stop, But I can't control my breathing I no longer have the strength The sun is dying, The clouds are moving And I find myself sighing, As I look forwards down So I count to ten and stop, But I can't control my breathing I no longer have the strength Now space is no longer safe, The grass no longer green And I find myself dreaming, As I look past the gleam

I like these lyrics. I think this will be a wonderful song when you are finished with it.
There is a sense of sadness and of melancholy to this, which would be the way a person would feel, under the circumstances.
It, of course is something that we all can identify with, having had heartache in our lives, thinking things were fine, not realizing until later that we weren't seeing clearly.
I especially like the way you incorporated the sun, moon and stars into this. Sitting in a meadow, these really gives a feeling that most people never get from a song, and that is amazing!
There are some things I think you should think about.
Some of your writing seems to be out of balance with the rest of the lyrics.
Do you read the lyrics aloud to yourself? I found out years ago, that doing that gives a much different perspective and feeling for what we have written and not read aloud. You feel and see the lack of continuity, of balance in the piece. Reading it is different from hearing yourself read it aloud.
Your usage where you said, "I used to soon go back to the moon", just feels out of step, so to speak, with their
Here, when you wrote,
"I used to turn my back at the sun
not face the light of day
I used to soon go back to the moon
to later run away" is one of those places . That line doesn't seem to fit with the others.
Also you used the word "But"
, at the beginning, and also started a couple of sentences with "Ands" in a couple of different lines.
Where you say, " I used to turn my back AT the sun" seems out of balance too.
I think it might work better if you said, " I used to turn my back TO the sun
I hope this makes some sense to you. I have had about 6 hours sleep in the last 3 days.
Once again, this is good writing. You are a little weak in the grammar area.
That is what Microsoft Word is for, right?
Keep writing!
