If it wasn't (Grunge type Ballad) - Lyrics Critique

by Damien
(UK)

Slower tempo semi accoustic verse,s, with a heavy anthem type chorus.
.........................................

if it wasn't for the skin that im in,.... there would be sin
if it wasnt for the look that i have,......I would have more
If it wasnt for the voice that i use, to abuse and to cheer at the tears/ as they splash to the floor
if it wasnt for the look that i have ......i would have more.

if it wasnt for the stance that i take,.....bones would not ache
If it wasnt for the views that I have,......I would see love
if it wasnt for the fear that i steer, towards the truth of lost youth, hoping im not old enough
if it wasnt for the views that i have,......I would see love



And have you Fucked around......... and have you had it all
Are your eyes wide and dry, ........and have you had it all
And are you standing tall,..........and have you seen the love
young,dumb and full of cum...............have you seen this love


and it wasnt for doing the crime..... committing the time
and it wasnt the gifts that iv taken.....and given away
and it wasnt the false reputation, the deaf dumb and dark blind mutation/that blacken the days
and it wasnt the gifts that iv taken.....and given away


And have you Fucked around......... and have you had it all
Have you given it all, ........and have you had it all
And are you standing tall,..........and have you seen the dark
young,dumb and full of cum...............have you seen this dark



BREAK






And have you Fucked around......... and have you had it all
Are your eyes wide and dry, ........and have you had it all
And are you standing tall,..........and have you seen the love
young,dumb and full of cum...............have you seen this love

Just a little work....
by: Nyx Echoes

The songs lacks in rhythm, to fix it I wouldn't say 'if it wasn't' so much, it's good to stick to a theme, but the verses overdo it.

Secondly, I don't feel like your chorus answers or compliments the rest of the song, (which people really do in some professional songs, but I'd tweak it)
It has potential to be epic, and if you take 'if it wasn't' from the verses a couple of times, and then at the end of the songs say '...that's what it's all for' or just 'if it wasn't for...', it'd e cool.

I can't feel the emotion from reading it most of the time, and I can't say I have any suggestions for that...

(Hey, I think the best part, -and there's a little emotion- when you say 'cheer the tears, as they splash on the floor')

I can hear it in by head being played by Bush or Nickleback, so that's a good sign.
Just revise a few times.

Hope I was of help!
