First Song I've Posted- Please Crit

-Verse-
Knife clenched tightly in my fist
Pills are waiting, i cant resist
And now im back, back to old habits
You want my heart, then you can have it

-Bridge-
And i'll lye here until you crave me (save me)
Sit and wait for my savior
Fall back into the madness (I'VE HAD IT)
My neurotic behavior

-Chorus-
Fixation, ****ation
My Consequences for falling in love, (was i wrong?)
Mutilation, Annihilation
The effects of your total disdain thereof

-Verse-
Go ahead, Ignore the dysfunction
Save your regret for the reconstruction
Of your life, When I've had all I can take
When I'm gone, It will be your mistake

-Bridge 2-
I'll find a way to ****ing hate you (break you)
I won't take this any farther
The only way is to forget you (regret you)
Coz i cant take you any longer

-Chorus 2-
Obsession, Repression
My heart decays in your negligent hands
I've learned my lesson
You don't deserve a ****ing chance

I suppose i cant expect
The source of the problem
To be the solution...

this is really good man, the verses are really well done and the rhyming isnt forced and the wording is intelectual without going overboard youve found a great balance. although quite straight forward it suits the theme of the songs nicely. my only bitch is that the chorus lacks that extra something that the verse contains. I dunno the chorus just looks to need some work, it doenst really have any structure

Although its not my style, I like it tho. It seems to flow it a lot of spots but some spots could use some work. I think overall its really good. Some work on the chorus and maybe the bridge would make it overall a lot better. Nice job!

hhhheeerrreeewwweeeggggoooo

-Verse-
Knife clenched tightly in my fist
Pills are waiting, i cant resist
And now im back, back to old habits
You want my heart, then you can have it

*pretty cool indeed. sounds like a lot of the stuff i write. i dont really like the repeating of "back" in the third line. change it to returned so you'll stil have the same amount of syllables*

-Bridge-
And i'll lye here until you crave me (save me)
Sit and wait for my savior
Fall back into the madness (I'VE HAD IT)
My neurotic behavior

*wow, i like this a lot. i especially like the rhyming in parenthesis*

-Chorus-
Fixation, ****ation
My Consequences for falling in love, (was i wrong?)
Mutilation, Annihilation
The effects of your total disdain thereof

*sounds like that SlipKnot song "Discarded! Retarded!" i love that song i also love this, very nice work*

-Verse-
Go ahead, Ignore the dysfunction
Save your regret for the reconstruction
Of your life, When I've had all I can take
When I'm gone, It will be your mistake

*man, i like it. its a little bit on the short end the way im singing it. but it might be just fine the way you want it sung*

-Bridge 2-
I'll find a way to ****ing hate you (break you)
I won't take this any farther
The only way is to forget you (regret you)
Coz i cant take you any longer

*i dont like this as much as your first bridge. i dont like the cuss in this one. i dont mind swears, but use em a lot rather than just once*

-Chorus 2-
Obsession, Repression
My heart decays in your negligent hands
I've learned my lesson
You don't deserve a ****ing chance

*once again, GOOD, except for the cuss*

I suppose i cant expect
The source of the problem
To be the solution...

*nice conclusion*

-GOOD! VERY GOOD! i really like it. definitely reminds me of SlipKnot, good thing. a little bit on the short end, but thats just me. overall, great work*
...this cant possibly be the first song you wrote though...right?

it's all very good xcept the first two lines. i mean they have good flow, wording etc..but i'm tired of that topic(don't get me wrong i also write about sliting wrists and taking pills) but i had enough of that(there's not many ppl who write about it and still sounds poetic)...but those lines in terms of flow and all taht stuff are good. anyway...i think the rest of the song really gets better..good flow, good rhyming..all in all 7.5/10. (sorry for the shi.tty crit)

-----------------------------
could you crit? thank you:

Pretty tight song ya got there buddy. Like said before its been done, but hasn't every thing, i mean its not our faults we werent born earlier so we could write the stuff first. Its putting your own style to it that makes this work. Good job even though im not big on self mutalation type kinda songs but i gotta be open minded in this forum. Good solid effort but a 7.86/10 If you would be so kind as to check out my song i would gladly appreciate it. Its called Etch-A-Sketch, thanx.

thanks a lot guys. i feel like sometimes the more i read a song the more i lose intersest in it, so your compliments help me feel more confident about my writing, and your honest crits help me improve it. I really appreciate it, keep em comin', i'll be soon to write another. I was just gonna write another tonight but im too tired from the two hours of sleep last night do to work on this song. THanks again everyone

Whoa. Yea, i didnt think this was your first lol. This is f*ckin unbelievable, great job.
Obsession, Repression

<-- very cools. Maybe Subsitute the cursing, since it doesnt exactly sound right. The way I'm singing it, everything sounds really good though. I wasnt putting it to slipknot though, more a three days grace/trapt ect ect sound... anyways, great job, post some more

Okey dokey... Here we go.

Knife clenched tightly in my fist
Pills are waiting, i cant resist
And now im back, back to old habits
You want my heart, then you can have it


Very good. Nothing to change here.

And i'll lye here until you crave me (save me)
Sit and wait for my savior
Fall back into the madness (I'VE HAD IT)
My neurotic behavior


Loved the first, second, and third lines. Last line I didn't like because I don't like talking about myself in a song in a way I wouldn't talk about myself in real life, if you understand... I don't know - just my opinion.

Go ahead, Ignore the dysfunction
Save your regret for the reconstruction
Of your life, When I've had all I can take
When I'm gone, It will be your mistake


Ok, here's something I'm guilty of as well... Running lines on to the next. It kinda breaks it up a bit, after you've had all these stand-alone phrases, and then you carry it on...

I'll find a way to ****ing hate you (break you)
I won't take this any farther
The only way is to forget you (regret you)
Coz i cant take you any longer


Generally, I try to steer clear of swearing in songs for the simple fact of having a wider market if I make it big (I'm one switched on 17 year old, right? lol). Of course, if you're a metaller, your market decreases if you don't swear so whatever...

Obsession, Repression
My heart decays in your negligent hands
I've learned my lesson
You don't deserve a ****ing chance


Very cool, bar the swearing again...

I suppose i cant expect
The source of the problem
To be the solution...


Brilliant way to end the song... No problems here.

Overall, very good. Not much work needs doing before you can have yourself a real cracker of a song... 8.5/10
