Thread: Sweet innocence

#10

The sentiment and imagery are compelling, Hugo. The lyric needs to be revised though to make it stronger and easier for people to relate to or even understand. Some of the lines are confusing. Tim has already made excellent suggestions.


Here are a few of my own. Keep or sweep, of course. smile

V1


I´m a shadow of the child I used to be


All the beauty inside has vanished through the years


Each day there was something new to see and learn


But time after time my innocence was burnt


 


PreChorus:


When did it happen


Who is to blame


The change shattered


 My life and destroyed my childhood games


 


V2 


In the world that I lived in, I didn't  care


About the god called money that rules everywhere


 d never dreamed there were ways my soul could bleed


 Or that I'd ever be confronted with lies and greed


 


PreChorus:


 


Chorus:


I don´t wanna be


I don´t wanna be an adult at all right now


I don´t wanna see


I don´t wanna see the world go down


 


V3


Indifference and selfishness are what I've had to fight


 „Obey!“ „Work!“ „Pay!“ „Die!“ is life with we all satisfied  This line needs to be reworked. Lots of ways you could do this. One possibility is 'Obey, Work, Pay' Die, these can never satisfy. Not a particularly good example, but simply to launch other ideas.


 


PreChorus:


 


Chorus:


I don´t wanna lose


I don´t wanna lose sweet innocence


I don´t wanna feel


I don´t wanna feel the blood of childhood on my hands
