UNUSED SONG LYRICS Here are unused song lyrics for your music. Songwriters, you have an opportunity to write music to unsigned lyrics. If you feel you can sell your finished song, sign a fair collaboration contract and give it a try. The lyrics on this page will be switched regularly with new lyrics or lyrics from my lyric bank so check back regularly for different unused song lyrics. Most of these unused song lyrics are lyrics that mean something. I write lyrics now and again when I have something to say about a subject or inspiration hits. Often, when I write, my initial title becomes a line in the song. Don’t be surprised if your lyric title idea changes as you write and refine your lyrics. My initial lyrics are often written within a couple of hours. When I analyse what I’ve written, another phrase may just jump out and consolidate the lyric idea, forming a new title. A word of caution, don’t change a word or phrase that already says what is meant perfectly. Sometimes, writing lyrics takes a great deal of thought and other times the words flow quickly. However, it will usually take looking at the lyrics again for another 24 hours or more; changing words or phrases as you go.  Watch out when you write lyrics to stick to a rhythm. Could be 3 or 4 beats per line. Music will follow easily if your lyrics fit a rhythm perfectly. Learn how music can be written to closely support the meaning of lyrics. That said, when fusing the lyrics to music, you will constantly be tweaking the order of words or changing contractions back to two words from one. Remember to choose chords thoughtfully for more impact. If your completed song evokes emotion, your attention to detail has worked. Sad rap lyrics need a core melody that reflects the emotion of the words. Keep it simple. A good place to find ideas for lyrics is in the news.

With no rallying religious leaders and no bickering politicians. Where the shade of every thought reflects the beauty that surrounds us. With no conflicts full of hatred and no-one to scream abuse at us. If we care about this earth and the people living in it We’ll be content with simple things not the wealth in our pockets. Living for what I know is right for you and not for me. Foreseeing the world’s future as a stream of possibilities. I long for impartiality that’s what we all live for It’s about peace and security, not drowning innocence in pointless wars. There’ll be no retribution ‘cause I’ve learned to forgive. Letting go of every hurt; focus on life yet to live. Looking so much deeper so I see the wood for the trees. We can live together unselfishly not just doing as we please. Quantify our future in terms of love and emotional treasure Not living for ourselves and a life of constant leisure. Stacking up the friendships for a future life that’s real Realising what the world can be if we allow ourselves to feel. Living for humanity not the world that only I can see Seeing every member of the human race as a member of my family. Removing pointless barriers from the world becoming one. Caring about who I really am for the sake of everyone. So I’ll muster up the courage to bolster up the world. Watching, hoping, waiting till a peaceful world unfolds. CHORUS Wash away the violence and all the hurtful trash. Wash away the need to hoard a heap of cash. Wash away the problems. Wash away the strife. I see the bigger picture and for the whole world I want life. Not involved in all the hatred. I’ll flee from all the crime. Won’t generate or contribute to divisions in a world of minds. I GET IT NOW  Lost in clouds of indecision. Feeling my way through life. Searching for ways to clear my vision. Wanting more but I don’t know why. I understand that there’s more to life Than I will ever know. But somehow life just doesn’t fit. Something’s very wrong. So, I’m seeking out the ones Who want to help me to succeed. They have hope, clear vision, certainty. They understand just what I need. Being taught now to notice That answers have always been there. Not blinded by lies and cover ups So banishing despair. I have no illusions. I’m willing to learn what’s new. I can see a clearer picture now. So choose hope and love and truth. CHORUS I need answers to my questions. Need to feel like I belong. Need to clear the air and learn the words To the ‘I get it now’ song. BRIDGE I’m now on track for something better I smile more than I frown I have answers to my questions No need for life to get me down.
