I'm a songwriter. I love making rock music, but as per usual with most of my interests; I always doubt myself. I keep putting myself down. Everything I write I think is rubbish, stereotypical, uninventive, and extremely cliche. Even If my friends say its good or whatever. I started working on a song, mainly focusing on a homophobic friend (whom I no long speak to) and past bullying. I "finished" the lyrics (The marks due to that I'll probably trash it or I'll hate something about it), and want your opinion on it. The reason why I've decided to post it online, is because I know you don't know me. You won't be biased to give a perfect rating or anything (I believe everyone's just humoring me and that I'm a joke). Sorry If it sucks, and sorry If it reminds you of past memories of bullying and/or hate. sorry "Why Am I The Enemy" (Verse) Hello my dear old friend I thought we'd be buddies to the very end But next thing you know you turn on me Like the bridge burning in the flames Hammering the last nail in the coffin You say its no big deal But I'm still asking (Chorus) Why am I the enemy and Why are you the bully I ever so feared all these years So Why do you hate me for something that was simply fate Why am I the enemy Why do you hate me (Verse) All you see is the shadow of someone you used to know I'm no longer a human Simply a thing to arson with your slurs and punches Just a blank slate to lace with bruises Clay to mold to your whim (Chorus) Why am I the enemy and Why are you the bigot That calls me an it I am depised by the hypocrite I used to call a friend Why am I the enemy Why Do you despise me (Bridge) I'm sick of it I'm sick of the hate I'm sick of being told I'm a mistake I'm sick of being labeled a freak I'm sick of being scared to speak I'm sick of being scared to call for help I'm sick of being told to kill my self I'm sick of being wierd I'm sick of living in fear I'm sick of the biased therapy I'm sick of the bigoted remedies I'M SICK OF EVERYTHING (Verse) I still hear the echoes of your rampage The panic and terror in its wake I still feel the aches of the blows And the pain and dread you wouldn't know I still remember the anxious wait of every day wondering what you would say now it's time to flip the table Cause I'm done today (End) Sorry If it sucked, and thanks anyway
Honestly it looks awesome but man..rock music isn't about asking other people what they think,its about you and the emotion and effort you put in making music. The bullying can fuel your inspiration and through the lyrics you transfer these vibes to others. I think the lyrics are good and you should continue doing what you want.
