Red

I don't really know what I was thinking about when I wrote this. It's kind of random.
... = held out note

Red is the color of spirit, fire
Red is the color of bones.
Red is the heart that beats inside us
Red is the feeling that moves our souls.

-Guitar-

Turn away from me…
I can’t stand that you look happy…
I’ve taken too much grief
I’m done pretending to be,
Red…
And I feel red…

You get what you put in to it…
I no longer see you as my friend.
And I feel red…
I feel red…

I can’t protect you from yourself,
Go run and hide
The job you’re doing, isn’t suiting you.
You’re one step away from,
Loosing all sense of you

Ba-da…-da-da-dum

And I feel red…
So red….

I used to see you,
As someone who had it all together.
Someone who could feel the power,
Of the world upon their shoulders.

And now you’re red….
Just like I’m red…
Do you feel red…?
Red…

Ba-da…-da-da-dum (x4)

-Guitar-

I feel red…
So red…
Red…

Ba-da…-da-da-dum (x3)

First off, this song is something I would download in my MP3 player. I would listen to it. It is very original, even though the topic is very familiar. It's one of those songs where I would feel comforted by it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but by how it's written, I'm assuming it's a pretty slow song. Which makes it even better. :)

The only problem I have with it is that I'd kinda like to have labels for the chorus, verses and the bridge and what-not. Other than that I love it. Please write more! :)

Hey! Nice lyrics, I love them! I totally agree with NightOwl, I'd buy it. Sell it, pulish it! Let it become a hit! I only had one problem with them.

Bones aren't red. They are reportedly white.

I looked at the title and had to read because i like the song Red by daniel merriwater too. Its pretty short. The lyrics aren't anything deep and meaningful but they're simple and powerful I would like to hear what it sounds like especially with guitar. I know that some of my songs sound way better than they look on paper. Well done its original and it doesn't matter that its a but random. Although what durriedog said is true- bones aren't red, i don't think it really affects the song too much its alright to have something completely random like that.

Oooh. I liked this. Nice work.
Only thing...bones aren't read. :O They are white.
XD
But, nice job overall, I really think this has potential. I don't know how it's actually played, so I can't say if I *love* it, but it's nice. So, , continue working.
Tata.

Can I just say, this reminds me of a song by My Awesome Compilation called 'Red Is For Danger'? Yeah. It sounds a bit like something out of the age of funk, or maybe psychedelic rock. Something to do with bongos anyway.
However, can I just ask, are the bits that go 'Ba-da-da-da-dum' beats from a drum or sung? I feel like an idiot saying that.

Also, I'd just like to say that, when cleaned and hung up in a classroom, bones are white. Under surgery, everything's red XD.

I really enjoy these lyrics because it is not like anything I have seen. Usually songs are about life, love, stories, etc. This is completely original and although random, meaningful. You wrote what came to your mind(true creativity!^^) I would love to hear how it actually sounds!
