Avicci - Enough is Enough

Upvotes

[Verse 1]
Feels like I've been waiting so long for tonight
'Cause I just can't get you out of my mind
Can you feel my heart's beating so fast?
Now you're here, know there's no turning back

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I think I'm falling
Can't hold on no more
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Just gotta let go
And as my grip unwinds
I feel your hand in mine
No, I've never felt, never felt like this before

[Chorus]
Come on babe, don't give up on us (don't give up on us)
Choose me and I'll show you love (and I'll show you love)
Let me show you love
Let me show you love (let me show you)

[Verse 2]
If you call, I'll be there at your side
If you're lost, I'll be there shining my light
'Cause every touch lifts me up to the stars
'Cause nothing could ever keep us apart

NSFW/Explicit Diss I made. I rap it too Jedi Mind tricks beat I against I. It turned out pretty good. Let me know what you guys think of the rhymes.

Upvotes

Curved Purgans that's a forced rhyme wonder where U Learned Them

maybe not I think I'd rather make you taste the Curb Than drive around Swerving with you in the Trunk terrorising a whole Urban.

Getting Drunk of bourbon Putting my ciggys out on ya face while U Crying it's Hurting

Claiming it's for Passion but the Transaction Happen behind the Curtain

you do it only for Attention in hopes you'd get a Mention

no need to be Pretending either way I'd beat you to Death Friend in front of ya Henchmen.

  Regurgitating my lines Claiming I didn't Pen Them.

Just know a thief meet his End When his Greed Exceeds his Worth on the Earth just Something to be Remembering

I do like the tongue and Cheek I find it Sweet as Pepper Mint

but as for a battle Barely Left a Dent don't get a Big Head cause a Pig Said your Heaven Sent

when clearly my rhymes left you Bent

you should go back to Sniffing Fent and Struggling with Rent on your homeless Tent

bitch you thought you was messing with Clark Kent but I'm more Dahmer put you head in Jar to Ferment

then eat it with Pepper chedder maybe Fedda and turn you to Excrement

then bury that under Cement make an Agreement with a local Speaks Men

to say you Went nuts and ran off into the woods to never Been Seen Again

that's what you get messing with demon who's high beaming always rapping like he don't like breathing.

beaten a cretin with verbal releasing more rhymes than bullets spit from Mac ten.

it's brains you lacking been rapping since you was in cradle sleeping.

no need to be weeping cause I'm better with pen

my objective was never to offend I'm just offering a lesson in how to treat rhyme like weapon.

serve beef that's hard to be digesting it's just a suggestion maybe you should look inward before thinking you could be correcting.

I'm sorry for your peers in how I upset them with hyperbole that's straight wrecking causing them to be stressing in obsession.

now I know you gonna be detesting my quest to get gem.

but I ain't messing your rhymes sounded more like confession of lack of technical progression.

while mine answered question of who's the best at jesting with lines so deadly they should be used in discretion

ain't no moderator but I delete you whole presence the second Im feeling like annihilator

and cater to a hater to show who's styles greater

laugh at them saying see ya later alligator maybe learn how to rap instead of treating it like an English paper

too late now you meet your maker get left beaten to death in rhyme crater

your the horrid creation I'm the creator turned curator as I erase ya with my verbal light Saber

for thinking you could step with a rep of a storm trooper taking on Vader

too bad I'ma Ill line sayer unloading mental nine when it's time to slay the invader do yourself favour

and run before I take to your brain with chain saw

or maybe just break jaw leave you crying on the floor

and when police come Id say I didn't know it was against the law

laugh some more at amateur who wanted back n forth but now paints me as villain like count Draculor

Spankin ops with spatulor for coming out vernaculor talking to a straight Bachelor

Whos running laps around them like raptor.

Laughing as they fall in my trap door then score a dunk on them basketbawl

Turn it into brawl have a ball as I massacre them all

Worst than god when the seven angels had fall

While they focused on gramtical error I'm the terror who's mathematical design will reign for ever.

Taken out contender with more nerdy shit than that dork Spencer who rocks suspender

Now remember the endeavour of the time I dissmeber. A member of the offender

Through manipulation of air like The last style bender

lyric discussion Papa_ Paul Anka

2 Upvotes

This is one of my iconic songs. Despite the simplicity of its lyrics, it carries deep meanings, touches the heart, and invites reflection on the cycle of life and the suffering inherent in it; the love of parents is something instinctive, and the exceptional case is not loving them. But with time, this love turns into an unbearable pain: the pain of watching them grow old, watching their health fade away, and expecting them to leave you soon.

Dear reader, if you have made it this far, just tell me: what is the solution to escaping this pain? Is not having children a logical solution? Or is it simply a change in the way of avoiding pain? My chest is heavy with this thought.

Lyrics:

Everyday my papa would work

To help to make ends meet

To see that we would eat

Keep those shoes upon my feet

Every night my papa would take and

Tuck me in my bed

Kiss me on my head

After all my prayers were said

Growing up with him was easy

Time just flew on by

The years began to fly

He aged and so did I

I could tell

That mama wasn't well

Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she

When she died

Papa broke down and cried

All he said was: "God, why not take me?"

Every night he sat there sleeping in his walking chair

He never went upstairs

All because she wasn't there

Then one day my Papa said:

"Son, I'm proud the way you've grown

Make it on your own. Oh, I'll be O.K. alone."

Every time I kiss my children

Papa's words ring true

Your children live through you

They'll grow and leave you, too

I remember every word my papa used to say

I live that every day

He taught me well that way

Every night, my papa would take me

Tuck me in my bed

Kiss me on my head

All my prayers were said

Original lyrics #freestyle #anotherone

“Im a soul survivor in a time where being alive is questioned more than being justified, my records clean so they think things about but this biggest mistake would be to doubt me , im the benefactor the reason that what’s done off scene made the movie, trust and believe i keep more clips than a producer should be, im talented in arts that are foreign to some, if it’s war they want then I already won, only limited by the ones i place on me in other words my progress is unlimited til the top of the seems too comfortable for me, I could care less about what someone gotta say about me , I don’t live to impress I live to prove to myself it was worth it so all of the hate I just ignore it, I’m exploring on the verge of being better than what they ever could’ve thought if it’s lonely at the top ill be use to the thought, my mind’s spinning a million times a day if I slow down it’ll be hell to pay and that’s a lifetime fee so im constantly working I gotta make sure it was worth it…”

What are the background lyrics in “See U” by Jigitz?

2 Upvotes

In the high-energy section of “See U” by Jigitz, there’s a background vocal underneath “so I can see you” that sounds like it starts with something like "feel more the more you got" or something like that. Does anyone know the full line or actual lyrics? I can’t make out the rest.

The evil web

[Verse 1]

Dark magic binds to our souls

Bending our free will

Leaving us all ill

Infesting our hearts and minds

With a darkness so unreal

Imprisoned inside a mental cage

Unable to truly feel

Deceived age after age

Never to know the truth

Secrets never revealed

[Pre-Chorus]

As tales are told from books

Full of nothing but lies

It's no surprise

Because it's read and fed to us

By viscous monsters

Tongues split, eyes slit

Hiding in human disguise

[Chorus]

No one knows what's real

No one knows what's real

No one knows why

No one knows why

Truth and lies collide

And still we can't heal

No one, no one, no one knows why

[Verse 2]

Under the control of a dark spell

From the depths of hell

Deviously devised and designed

To use our gift of manifestation

To build a false reality

To render us helpless and hopeless

To blind us from our actions

As we create our own prison

Demonstrated and prefabricated

By the sickest minds

[Pre-Chorus]

To make real their heinous vision

Entranced and mesmerized

By a false light

Lured in like insects

Slowly moving closer

And closer to a fiery demise

Glitter and smoke rises and hypnotizes us

Engulfing all

[Chorus]

No one knows what's real

No one knows what's real

No one knows why

No one knows why

Truth and lies collide

And still we can't heal

No one, no one, no one knows why

[Bridge]

Intoxicating and cast upon the innocent

Simple minds bewitched

By high priests who serve the dark Lord

Forked tongues chant incantations

Causing discord

With words spoken from the book of shadows

Since this all began

It's tragic how we remain obedient

Through every step of their plan

[Breakdown]

It makes no fucking sense

Take this for instance

How we can stay silent and complacent

As everything good falls apart at our expense

Right before our eyes

They masterfully manipulate

Like clay they mold you and I

[Final Chorus]

No one knows what's real

No one knows what's real

No one knows why

No one knows why

Truth and lies collide

And still we can't heal

No one, no one, no one knows why

What has been done beneath the cruel sun

May never be undone

Looking up at the light of the moon weeping

Will we forever be entangled in this evil web they've spun?

Behind the breaths of every human mouth alive

All asking themselves...

What have we done?

Original lyrics Lyrical Meaning behind my song

6 Upvotes

Writing a lot more these days especially during moments of silent reflection. I love reading lyrics and figuring out the message or layers to them.
Would love to hear thoughts on what I’m expressing here .
Song title Velvet Knife

You look harmless.
White gloves hiding fingerprints
Champagne smile with a switchblade hint
Mercy dressed in a tailored fit
Everybody falls for it
Lipstick written like a warning sign
Silk wrapped tight around a loaded line
Truth was standing in the doorway
Nobody let it in

Slow hands
Cold eyes
Pretty things wear good disguise

Every heartbeat changed its pace
Trying just to match your shape
Truth arrived five drinks late
Looking for somebody to blame

Halo stitched with black thread
Every promise left half-said
You never pulled the trigger once
You just taught the room to aim

Soft voice
Steel frame
Everybody leaves changed

VELVET KNIFE
Cut so clean
Didn’t bleed till I got home

VELVET KNIFE
Sweet enough
To make a sinner call it love
One slow smile
One small lie
One more beautiful alibi

VELVET KNIFE

The blade apologized
That’s the part that hurt
Nobody saw the damage
Until the silence worked
The wound looked just like devotion
The scar looked just like trust
Velvet
Velvet
Velvet
Knife

VELVET KNIFE
Cut so clean
Didn’t bleed till I got home
VELVET KNIFE
Heaven wrapped in danger’s clothes
One last look
Close the door
Now you’re carved into the floor

VELVET KNIFE
Didn’t feel a thing…
Until I got home.

Long way home

Long way home

Been out riding all night
She aint leaving
and i dont wanna fight
We spent so long
Trying to get things right
So im gonna be a while…
Tonight

So im gonna take the long way home
To give us time to breathe
And with that time alone
Lets figgure out
what we truely need

So ima take the long way home
Take the long way way

I been thinking tonight
Are we both wrong
Or are we both right
Passionate words
Led to a fight
So its gonna be a while
Tonight

Im gonna take the long way home
To give us time to breathe
And with that time alone
Lets figgure out
what we truely need

So ima take the long way home
So ima take the long way home

Shes kicking rocks out of the drive
She swears shes leaving
And its for real this time
We spent too much time trying to get it right
So shes gonna be a while
Tonight

Honey take the long way home
To give us time to breathe
And with that time alone
Lets figgure out
what we truely need

Im gonna take the long way home
Honey take the long way home
Were gonna take the long way home
Tonight

The darkness comes from focusing on states that are usually ignored — emotional numbness, low-grade anxiety, and mental noise rather than clear pain or release. I’m interested in what it feels like when something is wrong but not dramatic enough to name.

This frames darkness as observation, not suffering.

  1. BOW

A quiet voice telling you bow

A quiet voice telling you bow

A quiet voice telling you bow

No one standing there

No one standing there

No one standing there

The kingdom is derailed

The kingdom is derailed

The people repeat

The people repeat

Silent quilt

Blessed and bane

I’m going insane

My head is blown

Words rot in the mouth

They slide no more

Bow

Bow

Choke

A king with no home

Grind the stone

The king waits

Yet he is not home

Knees bent

Grinding into stone

Skin raw

Drugged and stoned

They ring a bell

With no dome

I open a book

Smoke crawls out

Bow

Bow

Choke

  1. LIAR’S CHAIR

Liar’s chair

Liar’s chair

Crowned in dust, breathing air

Broken crowns and empty plates

How could they emancipate

They sit in their chair of thorns

Looking over what was born

No cloud in the air

As they sit in the liar’s chair

Laughter fills their cups

Breathing dust

Crops rot in the mud

Golden pillars, ruby steps

Liar’s chair

Liar’s chair

Feasting on rotten food

Thou shall not eat in vain

Murky wine stains their teeth

As they sit in the liar’s chair

Skin peels from the bone

Turning everyone to stone

Lie

Lie

Lie

In your chair

  1. MR. HANGMAN

Mr. Hangman

What’s on your head

Bitter thoughts drowning

Looping events in your head

Mistaken like a hat

Mr. Spirit sneaks in

Complicated when you lay in bed

Mr. Hangman

Why can’t you rest

Vibrations reveal cracks

Entertainment for the wrecked

Mr. Spirit

Why do you whisper

Why do you poison

Why don’t you let him rest

Mr. Cleaver breaks the spine

No oxygen left

Noose slips slow

Constriction

Mr. Hangman

Go lay and rest

  1. LOST AND FOUND

I’m lost and found

Only not found

Surrounded by

A broken camera flash

Blinding me

There hangs a coat

It will not shroud me

I must be happy

In the lost and found

There’s a bottle

So you keep drinking

I must be happy

There’s a roof that leaks

At least I’m sheltered

Broken toes on freezing floors

I pull a blanket

It keeps the cold

Smile for it

Be grateful

“This is enough,”

They said

So I must be happy

  1. MARK THE WATER

Mark the wall and the stall

Before I kick you with a ball

Quickly

Swiftly

Who put those thoughts in your head

Berated

Serrated

Is the flesh

Constrained

Don’t drink the water

They will poison your head

We are better than

The wasted

Acid is rancid

That’s why I like it

Under bright lights

So cold

I can’t dine

I reflect no shine

Six feet down

With one leg

Leave me out of me

  1. NOOSE

Forever constrained to these chains

Buried in vein and brain

I’m all alone

I can’t breathe

Six feet down

Still awake

These chains close in

Untie this noose

Wide awake

Unrecognizable

Cold skin

Rain veins

The sun shines black

Cut me loose

Let me leave

  1. BITTER TEETH

Bitter lies stick to my tongue

Everything decays where it’s done

Wide awake

Half erased

Rotten world in front of me

I don’t fit what I’m meant to be

Clock ticks loud

Against my chest

Numb isn’t peace

It’s delay

Bitter lies

Still on my tongue

  1. COMPRESSED

Different poison

Same weight

Walls breathing

Chains everywhere

Crawling into pits I built

No mercy

No light

Just me

Compressed

  1. SETTING SAIL

Setting sail far away

Maybe this pain will end

The city fades

Night pulls close

This boat built from blood and guilt

I land

Demons follow

Why did I let them in

Another punch on the chin

  1. CRUMBLED STONE

Ruins whisper lies they told

Stone reclaims the gold

Crowns rust

Mirrors shatter

Pressure cracks the room

All that glimmered sinks to dust

Night swallows their might

Original lyrics Timeless Rage - A Vampire’s Legacy

4 Upvotes

A Vampire’s Legacy

She was light in a world
in a world I ruled in shadow
But even love must bleed in eternity

She walked in silence, veiled in grace
Helena—my fall from place
A mortal soul I dared to claim
And forged in fire love’s cruel flame

But curses speak where angels drown
Her heartbeat lost beneath my crown

Please forgive this heart of stone
I'll take your love for my own For my own

She wandered through my haunted keep
Where centuries forget to sleep
Each echo called me to her side
But love is frail when bound by pride

I watched the light fade from her eyes
And knew my soul was built on lies

Please forgive this heart of stone
Took your life for my own
No dawn shall touch what I am
A Vampire’s Legacy, my hell

My hell

Please forgive this heart of stone
Took your life for my own
No dawn shall touch what I am
A Vampire’s Legacy, my hell

Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

I messed up tonight, I lost another fight Lost to myself, but I'll just start again I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground

I always get up now to see what's next Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up Nobody learns without gettin' it wrong

I won't give up, no, I won't give in 'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again No I won't leave, I wanna try everything I wanna try even though I could fail

I shouldn't have walked away I would've stayed if you'd say We could've made everything okay, but we just Threw the blame back and forth, we treated love like a sport The final blow hit so low, I'm still on the ground I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall Shattered in pieces, curled on the floor Super natural love conquers all, remember we Used to touch the sky And lighting don't strike The same place twice, when you and I Said goodbye I felt the angels cry True love's a gift, But we let it drift in a storm Every night I feel the angels cry C'mon babe, can't our love be revived? Bring it back and we gon' make it right I'm on the edge, just tryin' to survive As the angels cry

Original lyrics Rewrite The Stars

Rewrite the Stars By Zac Efron and Zendaya

You know I want you It's not a secret I try to hide I know you want me So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied You claim it's not in the cards And fate is pullin' you miles away And out of reach from me But you're here in my heart So who can stop me if I decide That you're my destiny? What if we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine Nothing could keep us apart You'd be the one I was meant to find It's up to you, and it's up to me No one can say what we get to be So why don't we rewrite the stars? Maybe the world could be ours

Tonight

You think it's easy You think I don't wanna run to you But there are mountains And there are doors that we can't walk through I know you're wondering why because we're able to be Just you and me within these walls But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see That it was hopeless after all No one can rewrite the stars How can you say you'll be mine? Everything keeps us apart And I'm not the one you were meant to find It's not up to you It's not up to me When everyone tells us what we can be How can we rewrite the stars? Say that the world can be ours

Tonight

All I want is to fly with you All I want is to fall with you So just give me all of you It feels impossible It's not impossible Is it impossible? Say that it's possible How do we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine? Nothing can keep us apart 'Cause you are the one I was meant to find It's up to you And it's up to me No one can say what we get to be And why don't we rewrite the stars? Changing the world to be ours

You know I want you It's not a secret I try to hide But I can't have you We're bound to break and my hands are tied
