As you might have guessed, I am a big fan of Bloc Party, and my songs are inspired by them, so when I think of them in my head they have the same kind of sound to Bloc Party's sound.

This song doesn't really have a name, I just called it "Today", so I hope you enjoy the songs to come...



Today

Looking through the window of success
Satring into the mirror of distress
Everything seems like such a mess

Seeing my reflection in the cars
Walking past the noisy clubs and bars
Recognising the person who walk past

The streets are empty
But the company is plenty

Walking around the streets at the dead of night
Don't know whats round the corner, a mugger, mugged or fight

I'm the only one out and the feels that way
I'm a walker by night and a sleeper by day
I didn't do anything to make it that way

And the streets are empty
But the company is plenty

It's 3AM and I don't feel tired
I feel so alive, energetic and wired

I'm walking the streets and there's no one to stop me
I can do what I want I'm absolutely free

And the streets are empty
But the company is plenty

I wonna be alone as I walk the way home
The road maybe dark, but I'm in the zone

The street lights are flickering
And the trees are whistling

And the streets are empty
But the company is plenty

I don't feel frightened or scared
I lay myself out bare

I see a shadow but there's no one there
It could be a psycho but I don't really care

Because the streets are empty
and the company is plenty

I could walk around for 10 or 20
The lights don't work but the darkness welcomes me

I wonna walk around for hours without disturbance
But in the 24 hours there has to be an allowence

Because the streets are empty
and the company is plenty

And although I don't want it the sun begins to rise
The people come-out and my passion dies

I will stop walking when the time is right
But I will be roaming the streets again by tonight.

It's nice, doesn't have too much of a feel for it though. It looks like you were only trying to make things rhyme because they don't go rhythmically for the most part. The song title is never or rarely mentioned throughout the song.

So...yeah, the concept is nice, but the meaning's just flowing past me.

nice rhyming structure and all but I don't get what it's about I know it'ssomething about walking down a street but I don't get it . I don't know if you've done this just to make everything rhyme or you wanted it like that.

I like bloc party btw but they are a mainstream band so... :S

Yeah, it rhymes, alot. But sometimes, you don't have to make all the endings rhyme like that. If you think of something good to put in, and it fits, put it in. Put more feelings into it.

Yeah I like my songs to rhyme, I do that allot.

Here's just another, hope to write more



Spirit

It's hiding in your head
It's sleeping in your bed
It keeps you alive
It's keeps your drive

It's hiding in your head
Sleeping in your bed

Following you home, behind lamp-posts
Watching you silently, like a ghost
It controls your mind
It with you your whole life

It's as warm as your heart
It's as warm as your heart
It's a peice of contruction, a work of art

It's hiding in your head
Sleeping in your bed

It's a part of your mind
It's ladder for your dream
It helps you see things you never have seen
It fights of nightmares, like a knight
It heals and cares for you, after a fight

It survives for live
Even when your are dead
It's hiding in your head
Sleeping in your bed

Your spirit will leave you
But never forget you
Floating the way you used to walk home
It becomes your ghost
It remembers your mind
It remembers your life

Your spirit was a part of you
And knows you well
As long as behind a lamp-post it dwells
Your body will never be forgoten

It's still alive
Even though your body died
It remembers your head
It still Sleeps in your bed
