label on her bag

So, the other day I went to the mall with my mom, and I saw this gil with an Abercrombie bag, and I had a Hot Topic bag. So, I wrote this... Just listen. Or, er, read I guess.

You can tell by the logo on her bad that she could not be your friend,
no matter what- I mean, since when have Abercrombie and Hot Topic ever been freinds?
Prep and punk don't mix- or so you've heard.

[C:] Could it be that labels define us?
Get into your mind
and f*** with your mind?
Just Screw you over and leave you to die?
I don't know. Do labels define me?
Get into my mind
and f*** with my mind?
Will they screw me over and leave me to die?

Die- What a cruel harsh word but it'll happen someday
oh, boo hoo. get over it.
Why the long face and the scars on her arms?
Maybe there's more to her than you tink.
But then she glares at her bag. Oh f*** that.

[C]

Labels ar props used by them to try to define you
Let them define me? NO!
We're undefineable.

If we were meant to be labled, we'd come with a price tag.
Or is the price tag the logo on her bag? Her shirt, your shoes, her purse, your earrings, her rhinestone phone, your aviator glasses?
You're guilty of lableing. So am I- I'll admit it.
But there's more than life to this!

Join with me- throw off your clothes! Cast away your labels, your price tags, your stickers, your makeup.
And hug the girl with the Abrcrombie Bag.

So Completely Me

Ok, so you may have read my rant on the other blog, or not. ANyway, writing it really made me think of this song I wrote about a year ago, and here it is!

So Completely ME

People say that I am weird, that I am strange, that I'm a freak,
But they just don't know what life is like when you live without your inhibitions.
So I am all, completely, pure, 100% me.
And I just want to tell those tish-tosh posers to:

Live, like there's no tomorrow.
Dance like no one's watchin'.
Breathe, just to feel alive.
And jump cause you want to, not cause they do to. And make sure that you're you!

Funky, funky, rubber monkey
find that desk, it's rather large.
You wouldn't understand but I have the right to scream.
And he was never right for me, would never fight for me.
Or would he?
Oh well, I should:

Live, like there's no tomorrow.
Dance, like everyone's watchin'.
Sing, to let the song live on,
and Jmp cause I want to, not cause they do to. And make sure that I'm me, not you.

Now I probly don't make many cents, but that's the price you pay.
Just a mish-mash of words lashed together with a tune, but at least I have a tune
A beat, a rythem, that's all I need to drive myself to superhuman speed.
Or maybe what I need is a rhyme, a reason to survive, to stay alive,
Something along the lines of:

Livin', like there's no tomorrow!
Dancin', to feel the beat!
Wishin' on a star so bright!
And jumpin', jumpin', jumpin'!

LIVE! Cause there IS a tomorrow!
DANCE! Cause someone's watching!
BREATHE! To let the world live on, and of course,
JUMP! Only if you want to, cause it doesn't matter what other people think of you!
Just be you!
JUST
BE
YOU!!!!!

I've got friends... yay for me!

This is for my dork friends who I hang out with at lunch. Now, remember, I don't mean anything romantic in this song. I'm just really glad I have them as friends, and I love them all as my FRIENDS. Valentines dya isn't only about lovey-dovey mushy stuff. It's also about appreciating your friends and the people who are close to you. Even though I've only really known them for a few months, I feel like I can totally be myself around them. They're so great! XD WOOT!
This is for Eric, Kyle, Xerxes, and (sometimes, when he feels like hanging out with us) Stefan.

After all the *sigh*, after all the crying
There's still one thing I gotta say-
I'm not a total pessimist. Or some fighting, raging single.
There's some people I want-
and those people are-

[C:] Freaks of nature, fun comrades,
and VERY extraordinary!
Fun! Odd! Dorks! Spazzes!
And the only Valentines I want this year.

So, I've spouted about the other guy-
The one who wasn't right.
I've ranted, debated, and sung till my voice got sore.
But what about what my heart does want?
It's got some ideas-it told my brain
to talk about my friends
who are

[C]{repeat w/ bg vocals:}
Freaks are peeps I love to be with.
Especially when they're freaks like these.
I feel like I can be myself-not stress about what *not* to say.
We could talk forever and ever and ever
and never lose our way!

Not Right(Please Move On)

This song isn't entirely complete yet. I'll finish it eventually, I swear! I *might* have taken some lines from Little Women(Laurie's proposal to Jo scene), but it really fits my mood right now. This is sort of a continuation of Nevermore...

How can I ask you to leave me alone
without sounding like a huge bitch?
I want you to know how I really feel.
but I really don't know what to say.

[C:] The truth is that I can't be yours
I never wanted you to care for me so.
Well, perhaps I did once, but that's come and gone.
So please, for both our sakes,
I need you to move on.

I'm sure there's someone out there
who's totally perfect for you.
There's someone for everyone-
no exeptions for you.
You'll find her, I swear, someday.

[C]

Nevermore...

I plan to write more for this song, but for now, this is all I have. I'll put the rest in another post if I ever write more for it. Each stanza has a different tune and tempo to it. I'm writing it how it looks on the paper, because I think it looks cool like that. If you don't get it, when I say "I want to be yours nevrmore," I mean that I don't want to be yours(or whoever I'm siging this song to. take a guess as to who I'm singing it to...)


{whispered, 2x} I want to be yours, nevermore.
So much pessimism raging in
my veins tonight I don't
know what's going on. My dream
you will never be you. Time
to move on.
~
Why must we grow up? Do
we have to? Yes. More's the
pity. I want to go back
to a long time ago when
I didn't know life is
CHAOS.
UTTER CHAOS!
~
I want to loose my
memories of all the people
that I know. Just sart
afresh-without this stress
of constantly hurting{3x-layered}
I could be yours, nevermore.

Step Off (for A.F.)

Ok, this was alos written on Singles Awareness Day. You CAN be single and like it! So, how else would I say this but in a song? How else could I say anything? I'm a chicken. Get over it.

I'm not trying to push you away,
but what you do... I don't like.
Stop standing around
waiting for me
or coming whaen you're not called.

I've got other friends, I know you don't like them.
So do something else with your time.
I just want to be
wild and free
Not stuck in a paddock with you keeping guard.

[C:]
So step off
give me some space
Step off
get out of my face
Please step off
I don't need you with me 24/7.
I need you to let me be me.

Could it be that you're jealous?
ait would make sense.
But why are you drowning me?
I need to breathe!
Give me some air,
or you will make me leave.

[C]-{2x}

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry boy{2x}
You said you didn't want to be mine
until you learned to drive.
So that means I don't belong to you
I'm sorry, It just broke the feeling!

[C] {repeat while other track plays:}
Step off, step off
Can't you see?
Step off, step off.
Let me be.
{repeat and fade out}

Sorry Valentine (He's not the one)

Ok, this was written on Singles Awareness day (Aka V-day, as I like to call it).

I'm sorry to be the bearer of such
sad news on this happy, lovey Valentines day.
But I don't know what to say when a guy loves me
And I don't love him back.

It's a simple sort of problem, but
what does a girl say?
I don't want to hurt him, but
the truth only could.

The truth is-
I want a guy this Valentines day.
I want someone to love and hold.
I want someone to keep me up all night, just talking on the phone.
And I don't want to break his heart
on a day of so much love,
but what I want's not him.

I'll Never Be

Ok, this song is just based on how a lot of girls act these days, and how I'll never be like that, If I have anything to say about it!

I'll Never Be

Standing right here in
front of the mirror
some girls don't like what they see.

That' so not me, cause
I love what I see!
Why can't these girls love themselves too?

[C:] I'm bever gonna be
some girl who starves to be skinny
So what if I'm size 5 or 7?
I've got my mind and I've got personality.

Standing behind the
school, the smoke starts furling up
towards the sky and into their lungs.

They see me watching
they becon to me
I roll my eyes and walk away.

[C2:] I'm never gonna be
some stoner who can't see how deep in they are
I'd rather not, thanks. cause
I like my mind and I like my personality.

What must they think of me?
do they think
Weird, freak, spaz, dork, loser, outcast?

WHO CARES!
I'd rather not be mainstream
or live some sad shell of an existance.
I've got my friends and foes and
I'm ready to let them know:

[C3:] I'm never gonna be
some mainstream zombie with no free will
I'm gonna be me cause I prefer
MY mind and outrageous personality!

1st Post! YAY!

Ok, this is post is going to be lyric-free. I know, you're dying of sadness. So, I'll get to posting some lyrics, but I just want to go over some stuff...

  • I generally write pretty PG, but sometimes I have some curse words on my writing. Get over it.
  • I write everything I put on here. If it isn't mine, I'll put quotes around it. I don't plagerize, 1 because that's illegal, and 2 because I'd rather be myself and put out original ideas.
  • Sometimes my lyrics won't make sense. Either it's intentional, or you don't know the whole story.
  • I know, my lyrics ARE pretty fabulous, but they are MINE! Don't ask if you can use them, I'll say no. Also, if you use them WITHOUT my permission, or at least a really good reason, you are scum and a lowlife and you have no original thoughts.
  • If someone is insulted by these lyrics, I really don't care. They're just my real thoughts, unedited. Here's a solution: Go to a different webpage! It's the internet! I'm sure you have better things to do, anyway.
  • I have music that goes with all of these. Maybe I'll find a way to upload myself singing it with my guitar someday. Please don't contact me to ask if I want you to write music for it. It's just annoying.
  • If you still want to contact me, after reading all of this, my e-mail address is that.strange.hawkins.girl@gmail.com

I hope you enjoy the lyrics!
