Disclamer: This song was written as an anti steroid message

Headstrong

Not right/See the Light

For all those who think they are wrong

Just remember what you are

Headstrong

For all those who want to be strong

And for all those who want to do wrong

Just remember what you are

Headstrong

Don’t you what you are doing

Don’t you know the wrong you are brewing?

It is the law that is the law you are screwing

Just remember what you are

Headstrong

It’s not just society you are rejecting

Your moves are ejecting

It will be impossible to start correcting

Just remember what you are

Headstrong

And soon you won’t hold a thought

Because sooner or later, you will be caught

And your dreams will be distraught

Just remember what you are

Headstrong

Just this once you say

And yet, the end is delayed

Because you never accept much needed aid

And with all the dangers out of the way

Just remember what you are

Headstrong

Mostly, I feel like this is strong. I just have a few suggestions.

Obviously, songs don't ~have to follow a verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus structure, but I feel like if this song was sung, it might sound a little same-y. ("Same-y" is a word now. I hereby declare it.) I would suggest changing the structure of the penultimate verse to break up what might become monotony. With the structure the way it is now, it seems more like a poem than a song.

There are a couple of lines that I might suggest changing. I would replace "Don’t you know the wrong you are brewing?/It is the law that is the law you are screwing" with two different lines, since these two are some of the weakest lines in the song. "The wrong you are brewing" doesn't exactly make sense unless the person is creating the steroids themselves, and...okay, I don't know if that's how steroid use usually works, but it's still awkward. And "it is the law that is the law you are screwing" is both redundant and awkward.

I hope this attempt at a review was helpful. Keep writing!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah

Macho Man Randy Savage here to deliver an Elbow Drop of a review!

Steroids is a very interesting topic, my whole career was plagued by them and they deserve to be put on a higher level of awareness. I'll agree that the sentiment and theme is there and could snap into any opponent at any time. I have to give you props for that. But the problem is not the message, but the words you use to portray it.

Lyrics are different from poetry, but it doesn't mean that the format has to be completely different. There are some lines in here that make no sense.

It is the law that is the law you are screwing


that line specifically sounds like a broken record and makes no sense grammar wise. If you use steroids you aren't screwing the law. You're barely screwing others over. If anything you screw yourself over (if it comes down to that). It all depends on awareness, jabroni. Let me cite some more lines.

And soon you won’t hold a thought

Because sooner or later, you will be caught

And your dreams will be distraught


The problem with lyrics is sometimes people try too hard to stay in rhyme. That's no good, bro. You could tell this is forced. The first two lines, specifically. After staring at them for a while and realizing what they mean, they aren't fluent. If someone is going to get caught, they're going to be afraid, worried. They are going to hold thoughts. It seems like you are considering steroid users aren't humans.

Your moves are ejecting? I need some clarification on that, please.

Spoiler
I'm going to break character and let you know that this has an unfortunate title. Headstrong is the name of the poorly made Trapt song, and you don't want readers to be reminded of that.

HEADSTRONG
GONNA KEEP YOU ON(?)


That is all, Gorilla Monsoon, and before your enemies get to you, remember;

Snap into a Slim Jim!

OOOOOOO yeah!

I apologize but I cannot take this review 100% seriously, I cannot tell if you are serious or not.

Well, I meant what I said, but I have fun with it. To sum it up; I agree with the message but the way it was formatted didn't deliver. Few nonsense lines and overall repetition fail to leave a mark.

I agree somewhat which you but just look at how most people around my age (I will not specify) are extremely gullible, not to mention this was one of my brother's summer school assignments that he enlisted me to do sense I am the writer of the family.

I...I don't see the point you were trying to make.

Forget it, keep your opinion and I'll keep mine.

Okay, if I made you feel awkward, then I apologize, you have several good points here, but this was my first song, for the nonsensical lyrics, they were filler, and the repetition is made to keep it in your head.

Hi there! Let me be the first to review on such a bright & early morning. :D too early for me but I have to get up. I check Poetry, Lyrics, Art, and Shorts whenever I get on here. They're my favorite sections to read. So, naturally, I stumbled upon this lovely song & decided to leave a review.

I'm rambling, I know.

"Your lines are choppy." "I couldn't get the flow of it." "I didn't like it." These are all things I wouldn't say to you because frankly I disagree. I liked this song. It's a motivating song that tries to teach you right from wrong, good from bad, and to never give up even when you're at your lowest point.

The lines flowed nicely, and I'm being honest. I read it in my head while seeing the words on the screen, and I wasn't confused about a length of a line or too many syllables. It's all about frame in Poetry. That's what most people agree with. But it's okay to step out of the boundaries and do something different.

Your word choices rhymed, so there's nothing there that I could complain about. No punctuation, minus a few marks. That's good. Songs don't need punctuation. And I didn't see any grammar mistakes or typos that could be revised.

"Headstrong" will probably, well most likely, stick in my head for a couple hours. :D Fortunately, I've never known someone who uses steroids or abuses the drug. I can't relate to the song in that way, but I can when hitting a low point and needing to get up again, to be strong once more.

Overall, I generally enjoyed this cute little song. Be sure to post more, okay? :D I hope you have a superb day & you remain headstrong throughout.

~Freak

:D (I can be a new friend!)

If you are wondering why there is a question mark there, it is because the word program made me put it there, I pre type the stories on different programs because I don't like using this program

Oh, okay well still great job!
