Casualty

(Howard Aronson)

This lyric is a sad lyric, but one that's all too often experienced by people. It's also a very empathetic lyric. This guy is in a coffee shop, when he notices someone that looks really down and out. I've been this guy before and I know I've been the other person before in these cases you have to have empathy, and Grace. You have to want to offer help, based on the experiences that you've gone through as an addict. He notices her and asks her how are you what's going on,, and some more drugs. He tries to offer her another way. She tells him what a mess life is for her, and he offers to help that so many addicts need, and that so many offered me in my times of need. It's just another casualty of the disease, there are so many examples of it, but this is one that I experienced, on both ends.

I went the coffee shop Sat next to a girl with dark hair She looked beat up And didn't seem to care She asked me for a cigarette I said I don't smoke She didn't miss a beat And said how about some coke No, I'm clean and sober Those days are over I'm so grateful I found a four-leaf clover She said I'm hurting Day after day Can you help me Find another way Another casualty It's so sad to see Another casualty It's so sad to see I said here's my number If you want to call But do it soon Before you fall She put it in her pocket And said she would Maybe tomorrow I know I should Another casualty It's so sad to see Another casualty It's so sad to see

You'll find out

By Howard Aronson

This lyric could be a blues lyric, or Rock. I'm going through a stage of writing in this case where there are short amount of lyrics, but I'll repeat the whole song twice. This lyric is about a relationship, and where the person warns them that if they get involved you'll find out what I'm really like, and whether you want to put up with it. This person isn't about to change for anybody, and we'll keep living life and their vicarious ways. Basically he says you don't like it, you can leave

Window

By Howard Aronson

This is a short lyric, and I would repeat the verses over again. It's about being stood up, which is something we all can relate to. When this happens it's not a very good feeling. In this case, the guy gets stood up and finally leaves only to see his date to the window of another restaurant with someone else. I think that's pretty bold, and lame for someone to do. But to do it in a place that was so close to where the meeting was supposed to take place, it's just outrageous. This is a made-up story, nothing like this ever happened to me, in the few times that I was stood up.

Out of me

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is not about me or my father, it's about a friend whose father used to feed him all the time when we were growing up. I didn't understand this, as I had so much love in my family and I don't think my parents ever hit me once. Yeah they would raise their voice and yell, and try to teach me lessons and other ways when I was wrong. But my friend experienced such a hard life growing up, but today is one of the most gentle people you could ever imagine. He's married with kids, and there's no comparison to the way his father treated him the way he treats his children. I think it's a shame what people do to their kids when they treat them with abusive behavior. That's what this lyric is about, abusive behavior.

Grateful

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about gratitude. It's something that I really focus on daily. It's very important when you're clean and sober to be grateful on a daily basis. There are so many things to be grateful for, but first and foremost I'm grateful to be so over today. That in and of itself is a miracle. I'm so used to dealing with life by numbing it and pushing it away. For so long I've lacked the proper copic skills, and the only way I coped was using drugs and alcohol. Although I've had many different lengths of sobriety, these last three years have been really different for me living in a sober house with 24 other people has helped me to be more aware of what I'm grateful for on a daily basis. It's helped me to learn how to cope with life on life's terms and not thinking about using a drink or a drug to get by. It helps me remember when times were really tough, and how I put myself in those situations. Today I'm just so grateful, for so many things.

Leave Her Alone

By Jones Lyrics

Topic(s): If we hold on to something too tight, it won't stay. Atmosphere: pop character, catchy chorus, singer/songwriter, charty, extraordinary verse melody, can be a stop & go style, can be melodically fluent Genre/Style I was thinking of: Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Indi-Electronic, Indi-Pop, Synth-Pop Artist(s) I was thinking of: Imagine Dragons, The Weeknd, dvsn, Awolnation, Milky Chance, Passanger, RacknBone, Topic (ft. A7S), Phil Might Leave,... Comments: typical pop-structure & easy to sing along with in the chorus. In the verses I thought of a lot of breaks (e.g. "How many"...break... "Times"; A bit like in the song "Believer" - Imagine Dragons). I might work with it myself, so cant give you exclusive licence on that one.
