I started out a tiny heap, Of sand grains on the beach . I watched the pain as it came rolling in, Used to think (that) I was out of reach. I remember how I tried to hide, From all the struggles of the raging tide. Is anyone out there, can`t they see? The little heap of pain that started up in me. You see the tide start rolling in, You watch as the foamy trouble sails. You try to cling onto unstable ground, `Cause you know the sadness the sea entails. Where is that someone to build my fortress? Or do I face this fear on my own? I try to send out a call for happiness, But the echo tells me I`m alone. The waves they torture –I lose my mind, I begin to crumble as it creeps along the shore. It taunts me all day long while closing in, The fear builds in me more and more. I try to whist myself to higher ground, To the grass growing free not fear ahead. But my hands are tied, to the sand I`m bound, I ask myself is this to be my bed? Every day I feel me weakening, The strength I build up starts to fall. I`m not alone on this desert beach, So why does no one hear me call? Are they sinking like I do every day? Or have they faced their ruthless sea? How do they get thru the endless day? And how do I find the strength in me? I accept we`re all together here, And if I scream enough they try. But their tide it too is edging near, So they tell me look your sea eye to eye. I watch, witness in silence as they face their sea down, They boldly sink into the dark. Suddenly I find the strength inside for of me, And know today my sea won`t leave its mark. I finally understand how I must face the day, That others can only advise on where they`ve been. I form my plan to my way, Chorus: I have become my house of sand, Adjustable to all life`s got in store. The water melts my solid life, But the tide brings me back to the shore.

Death Of Me

By Annabel Chima


This lyric highlights the dark side of the human consciousness, speaking about 'self' in 3rd person in verse 1, almost as a separate entity. The lyrics symbolise how unrequited love is as good as the death of 'self' but so is a love/romance that fails - heartbreak. As humans, we tend to blame others for the way we feel, rather than accepting our own faults and self-power. The vibes and atmosphere of this lyric are very foreboding, gloomy, wistful and signify 'hopelessness'. You're guaranteed a moved and emotional audience. It fits perfectly into most genres.

20's Money

By Mustang Z


20's Money is about money and the decade that starts at 2020. It's lyrics that flirt with different ways in which money from the 2020 era is either earned or spent, legal or illegal, with who and where. 20's money includes the power of money, the chase of money and so forth. The lyrics are great for an artist who can use the lyrics to visualize how money in the modern era of the 2020 decade can be creatively expressed.
