JimZulu Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Lyrics by Eric my bassist: Untitled A long time ago When the sky was not so old And the moon not yet so full of holes My mind was clear I was not always in a state of fear I was full of life Free of wicked spite And whenever new day dawned I was out and gone Tell me where my sanity is Now the sky is old The moon in more full of holes My mind is dazed and confused The fear inside leaving me cold Because a boy made Gods decision In a senseless act Now when every new day dawns I am tired and too weary to go on Tell me where his sanity is at Song Number Two Fury of the Beast 1st Verse: There they were Fiery eyes staring into mine Gaze piercing all time Trying to find a sign Not this time Chorus: The fury of the beast Anxiety always risin A tale of promise A tale of sorrow A hope for tomorrow A reason for grief and sorrow 2nd Verse: It was one large fury The beast was unleashed Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide from the bright sun The blues felt at that moment were deep Tears began to seep from the beast Wiping them w/ his sleeve Remembering the way things used to be The way things were before. Chorus: The fury of the beast Anxiety always risin A tale of promise A tale of sorrow A hope for tomorrow A reason for grief and sorrow 3rd Verse: Not scared in the least Felt like dyin but started cryin Perhaps thats the scariest thing of all He was able to stand tall At the fury of the beast Not a care in the least For his fury he unleashed -Jim Matteucci Yea I'm 16 and I have a lot to learn http://thefuryband.tripod.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george costanza Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I like the second one more...mostly because it seemed more shaped than the first& the chorus gave it some universal focus. I'd say your tag line ("I'm 15...") says much of what I'd say; ther's a hint of deeper meaning & "message-ness" to the lyrics but, to me, they could stand a little more focus. You must realize that what seems significant to each of us is often not so to the mass of people. By "signifivcant" I'm not just referring to the lyric's subect but to the words & phrases that one might use to express the insights that one seeks to convey. For example here, the phrase "...because a boy made God's decision in a senseless act..." is obviously meaningful to you but I have no idea what you actually mean. Lot's of people can insinuate meaning into vague lyrics but you need to be able to find words or images that reach the listener (while avoiding cliches).

JimZulu Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 Yea I understand where your coming from. The first song is about my bassist's best friend commiting suicide last year. That is the senseless act. Thanks for the critique. -Jim Matteucci Yea I'm 16 and I have a lot to learn http://thefuryband.tripod.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
