MPD 2021 SEM 1 (POD)

The song, called 'A Journey', goes through the different feelings I had based on a turning point in my life, failing a graded piano exam. Feelings include calm, confusion, and joyfulness

A Journey

The song called 'Burn Down' was created with the concept of me just not getting tempted by other sources like friends and the Internet.

Burn Down

POD B 

[Verse]
Working away to the beaten pie
My heart just can’t recover
When its all due
Always playing along to the fickled mind
I can’t go back to the start
Split me in two
Thinking I’m okay
But all I do is work the pain away
Away
[Pre Chorus]
Tried so hard to play all my cards
But my looks they just gave it away
It’s no way that it’s real
And I can’t wait to part
Past the Milky Way
[Chorus]
Today is the start to believe it
Cuz I found a rose on the grey
Oh I,
Got a feeling now I’m floating away
take me all the way
take me all the way

Stormy Oceans

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Looking around me
My mind, filled with the thoughts of day
Feel so lonely
Lost in the world on my own
Prechorus
I tried to hide tried to feel
The darkness below
I want to see want to hear
The threads of colours
Chorus
Black and white, the scenes are covered with dust Seeing everything looks so rust
Shine a light, let the music enchant
Let us all be part of this world
Verse 2
Looking at people
I see, I am an oddity
Feel so foreign
Feels like i’m an alien in this world
Prechorus
I want to see want to hear
The threads of colours
Chorus

Colourful World

Struck by Lightning

Verse: 
Flashbacks to when we first met
You caught my eye from a distance
Joining karate, no regrets
That brought us somewhat closer

You doing nothing, just standing there
Made me smile like mad 
No idea why, can’t draw a line
You kept jumping into my head

Pre-chorus:
I’m scared, to take the first step
The consequences I cannot bear
You may reject,  we can’t be friends
My life felt like a mess

Chorus:
Cause I’ve been struck by the lightning
It’s frightening
Don’t think I’d ever be the same again
You’ve helped me improved, gained new skills
Life became full of thrills

Cause I’ve been surrounded by lightings
Shining brightly
I’ve learnt not to be afraid
You made me believe that I am good
My Prince Charming, thank you.

Verse:
School’s quite overwhelming
Alone, I’m not surviving
Want you desperately, be my baby
Not just in my daydreams

Looking at you in reality
That smile made my heart go crazy
Caught eye-to-eye, I can’t deny
Cupid sent you right

Pre-chorus:
But I’m scared, to take the first step
The consequences I cannot bear
You may reject,  we can’t be friends
My life felt like a mess

Chorus: 
Cause I’ve been struck by the lightning
It’s frightening
Don’t think I’d ever be the same again
You’ve helped me improved, gained new skills
Life became full of thrills

Cause I’ve been surrounded by lightings
Shining brightly
I’ve learnt not to be afraid
You made me believe that I am good
My Prince Charming, thank you.

Guitar solo 8 bars:

Last chorus:
Cause I’ve been struck by the lightning
It’s frightening
Won’t ever be the same again
With you I’ve improved, gained new skills
Life is now full of thrills

You made me surrounded by lightings
Shining brightly
I’m now totally not afraid
I now have the courage to pursue
My dream to tell you.

Outro:
I’m in love with you.De daladala
I love you

Struck By Lightning

psychologic medicine is a take on ambient / indie rock. its contrasts in energy gives it a somber feel. combined with the lyrics, it gives the song a more heavy and melancholic vibe. the occasional ambience, interrupted by distortion and chokes really reflects the state of mind of the song.

lyrics : 

i’m losing track of time
floating ‘round in space
do you remember me?

i lost my peace of mind
forever stuck in place
dont wanna remember me

pretend its all okay
those weren’t my brightest days
there’s nothing i can do now
( so wont you pass around the bottle let me figure all this out )

can’t wait to forget
all responsibilities at hand
throw away who i am
i need psychologic medicine
can’t wait to forget
everything i ever did or said
throw away who i am
i need psychologic medicine

just let me start again
we’ll do it peacefully
Shattered memories

The hole’s too big to mend
Restless jealousy 
Of the ones who don’t look back in agony

Who can save me now
See me slowly drown 
Don’t make me recall

I can’t climb out of raging sounds
Of my old past, one tick too loud
Recall the parts that pull me down
Of my old past, who saves me, now?

pretend its all okay
those weren’t my brightest days
there’s nothing i can do now
( so wont you pass around the bottle let me figure all this out )

can’t wait to forget
all responsibilities at hand
throw away who i am
i need psychologic medicine
can’t wait to forget
everything i ever did or said
throw away who i am
i need psychologic medicine

Lyrics:
verse 
a tune thats sparkling around the room 
a secrets hiding underneth your cool 
do puzzle peices somehow lose themselves 
cause i cant find it  

i know a quicker way to play instead 
you got a mystery i want to go within 
upheaving the fears im feeling
just to be here

pre chorus
aawooo  
this weight on my shoulders
cant maneuver a game this cruel 
but the end im wonderin how to be the one for you

i see us blooming  
my hearts contagious 
just like a kettle screaming out the blue

the way my mind is spinning out the room 
oh what can i do but speak of you

A song for everyone's best friend :))

Best Friend 

i like the way
everything seems to be okay
when im hanging around you
i don’t need to think who i am
all i know that you’re my only friend

we’d shut it down
every night when we hit the town
babe you know that i gotchu
chugging gatorade at the next bus stop
everybody look here, yeah my bestie’s hot! (oh my god)

i miss fucking shit up with you
you’re one of a kind, you’re so cool
i miss having you by my side
but now that you’re back
we’re gonna bring it back
everyone knows that we’re gonna throw it back

cuz you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend baby
nobody else
nobody else
nobody else
can touch us baby

every time you look and smile
i get butterflies in my heart
i feel so proud, i’ve seen you go far
and now we’re ruling the world
every time we shut it down
turn the lights down in the back of the car
baby you and i, we’re meant to be superstars
superstars

i miss fucking shit up with you
you’re one of a kind, you’re so cool
i miss having you by my side
but now that you’re back
we’re gonna bring it back
everyone knows that we’re gonna throw it back

cuz you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend baby

and i know we’re gonna be alright
cuz you’re my best friend
now till forever
i promise you, i won’t be fair-weather

Best Friend

"and all that i know is that you have tainted these... innocent eyes."

a song telling a story about betrayal, love, lies, heartbreak and regret.

lyrics:

you said we’d be together, always for life
the promises we made now cut like a knife
and if you knew me you know i was begging
please don’t go

we swore nothing would ever come between us
isn’t it funny how we soon lost our trust?
it’s kinda stupid how you left, so much for 
please don’t go

but you left as soon as it started to crack
didn’t even wait, you just attacked
as i closed my eyes and made you my war

yeah you told me you loved me but i know it’s a lie
you never saw me for who i was inside
you said you wanted to find some way out
well you lied
and if you shed a tear it’s like a crocodile’s cry
i can’t even look at you in the same light
and all i know is that you have tainted these innocent eyes

and now i’m at your door begging for more
forgiveness shouldn’t be this hard to ask for
you lit me up with all your matches
what good is that for?

and now it’s looking you dead in the eye
all the plans we made are going with the tide
now i just wanna know, who’s keeping score?

yeah you told me you loved me but i know it’s a lie
you never saw me for who i was inside
you said you wanted to find something more
well you lied
and if you shed a tear it’s like a crocodile’s cry
i can’t even look at you in the same light
and all i know is that you have tainted these innocent eyes

but you told me you loved me
you never saw me for who i was inside

yeah you told me you loved me but i know it’s a lie
you never saw me for who i was inside
you said you wanted to find some way out
well you lied
and if you shed a tear it’s like a crocodile’s cry
i can’t even look at you in the same light
and all i know is that you have tainted these innocent eyes

you said we’d be together, always for life
the promises we made now cut like a knife
and if you knew me you know i was begging
please don’t go

Lyrics
[Verse One]
We held our hands that September night
Autumn leaves lay scattered on the ground as I
Held on tight

[Verse Two]
When's it my turn to feel loved? 
It seems that summer's gone and the leaves
Have start to rot

[Chorus]
I can hear your voice calling out my name
And I wanna go back but it's too late to turn around
So I'll just forget the memories and swallow the pain

[Verse 3]
But seasons change, and so did we
How long can we lie to ourselves and hurt each other?

[Chorus]
I can hear your voice calling out my name
And I wanna go back but it's too late to turn around
So I'll just forget the memories and swallow the pain

Autumn Leaves

lyrics : 

verse: 
i dont know me anymore
we hadnt start but have already lost
broken shards that i pick up
now im bleeding out this dirty floor
dont answer any calls
oh, was it worth the fall?
and now im all alone
my pride just cant admit my faults

prechorus:
please
fill
this emptiness
in
me
it feels so wrong
i
cant
look at your face

chorus:
before i start
thinking back to what we once had
sitting in the train watching the sun set
i never asked you to feel the way i felt
and now i cant
help myself but to think of you
when i listen to the songs we sang in your room
i never asked you to drag me through this hell

verse 2:
blowing flowers out my lungs
heaven knows i’ve had enough
of chasing after someone

who never wants to stop
so why do i still run
knees scraped, egos bruised
my prides been left behind
i cant live without you

prechorus

chorus

bridge:
thoughtless moving bodies
in spaces too small to breathe
every second i spend with you
tells me i cant
no, i wont face the truth

lyrics
[intro]
it's all in my head, you're leaving again
oh i should've known i couldn't play with fire
she's gone in my mind, the girl you first met
oh, i should've known i couldn't play with...

[verse one]
always acting so secretive
never knew what you're hidin'
flick a lighter and let it sting
that's what you do to me
that's what you do to me

lately i've been loosing my mind
over the way i've been giving in to you

[pre-chorus] 
so you wanna play it right
find the right one while you hold me tight
sure, i give you what you want
addicted to the pain
losing you when the night's over

[chorus]
it's all in my head, you're leaving again
oh i should've known i couldn't play with fire
she's gone in my mind, the girl you first met
oh, i should've known i couldn't play with fire

[post-chorus]
if we kiss, we fall in love
that's the rules of this game that we play
acting coy won't work anyway
you know how it is, 
can't seem to tame the fire

you'll never find a girl like me, a girl like me.

[verse 2]
out of sight, out of mind
but this push and pull is divine
is there any way i can make you mine?

truth is, i'm falling for you madly
and you know that it's driving me crazy
got that attitude, makes me hazy
you got me tied around your finger i can never leave

[pre-chorus] 
so you wanna play it right
find the right one while you hold me tight
sure, i give you what you want
addicted to the pain
losing you when the night's over

[chorus]
it's all in my head, you're leaving again
oh i should've known i couldn't play with fire
she's gone in my mind, the girl you first met
oh, i should've known i couldn't play with fire

[post-chorus]
if we kiss, we fall in love
that's the rules of this game that we play
acting coy won't work anyway
you know how it is, 
can't seem to tame the fire

you'll never find a girl like me, a girl like me.

[bridge]
i'm sick of all your dirty lies
lost myself to just what you liked
you don't give a damn
i finally understand why i
i shouldn't play with fireeeeeeeeee

(and you hear me say)

[chorus]
it's all in my head, you're leaving again
oh i should've known i couldn't play with fire
she's gone in my mind, the girl you first met
oh, i should've known i couldn't play with fire

[post-chorus]
if we kiss, we fall in love
that's the rules of this game that we play
acting coy won't work anyway
you know how it is, 
can't seem to tame the fire

说了几百遍 
一直没有变 
走的时候你说 
还想再去见一面 
Tell me what are you thinking 
一直猜测 
受够了刻骨铭心 （oh no) 

And now I’m trapped in my mind 
Going insane all the time 
I just want you to be alright now 
还是分手吧 
If this is what you are 
‘cuz no matter what 
I’ll never be enough 

Verse
孤独的夜里 
冷漠的咖啡 
一个人寻找我们爱的证据 
离开的突然 
没有一点感觉 
我猜想这就是你想要的结果 
baby 
 
Verse 2 
一直不知道 
真是不可靠 
当初想不到 
会有这一天 
‘Cuz when the sun goes down 
And the lights go out 
Think I’m better now 
That I’m alone again 

Chorus 
说了几百遍 
一直没有变 
走的时候你说 
还想再去见一面 
tell me what are you thinking 
一直猜测 
受够了刻骨铭心 （oh no) 
And now I’m trapped in my mind 
Going insane all the time 
I just want you to be alright now 
还是分手吧 
If this is what you are 
‘Cuz no matter what 
I’ll never be enough 
Bridge
那天晚上 
你拉住我的手 
想消失的烟火 
说你有多爱我 
这感觉就像 
流星出现 
找不到那一瞬间 
oh baby u wont know 
(yeah, yeah) 

Rap
Hundred times 
Hundred and one 
Oblivious, you crossed the line 
如果不想改变那就 
只能请你向前看 
Stop with what you gon’ say 
管你错还是对 
if a promise is broken 
没信任的基本 
That’s consequence you gotta face 
Yeah 
Think I lost my faith 
流下的泪水 
Think of the moments we shared 
The future we had 
But took it away 
真的想问 
纯粹的爱到底存不存在 
Saw your eyes 
Thought we were set but 
Guess will go down as a beautiful lie 

Chorus
说了几百遍 
一直没有变 
走的时候你说 
还想再去见一面 
tell me what are you thinking 
一直猜测 
受够了刻骨铭心 （oh no) 
And now I’m trapped in my mind 
Going insane all the time 
I just want you to be alright now

Songwriting and vocals: Wayne Lew 

wasting time, wasting tears
but wasted love is what i fear
collecting dust over the counter top we’d stand on and dance to all of the songs
you’d wanna hear
and i know that you’ve been through hell and back
and i see you packing your bags
see right through the visage of daisies and sun on your face but i know you better than that
wasting time, wasting sweat
but i could never make a bet
that you’re okay with those 3 ton eyebags all day
and not get the chance to say
you need some rest
and i know that you’ve been through hell and back
and i see you packing your bags
see right through the visage of daisies and sun on your face but i know you better than that
waiting
for the day
you fall apart
i know its coming soon let me
help you
the walls are thin
dont hold back anymore
just say when and where don’t mess with my head carrying the world
on you
tell me what you want please just see the light of dawn
ill do the impossible
for you

so, the way that it goes
so, im pulling you close
theres a part of me that cries inside for you those tinted eyes
I pray i wont let go
its you i love, i know
youre Too late now Youre far from gone
Your Stories been told
But the rest is torn
Stayed for a while,
Now im stung with pain
Left the poison in my blood
Just to keep me from feeling again
like the play on 7th street
like those notes you left for me i wont stand in your way
like that black top on that key
I cant remember what ive seen you dont see in my way
