Lost (explicit lyrics, somewhat I guess......)


Critical Chameleon

Recommended Posts

Hey guys! 

Been working on a new track I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on. Don't have a lot of people listening to my tracks, but you guys always seem to be commenting which is highly appreciated :)

Intro.

“It’s time to move to the stage everyone”
“Time for Critical Comedian”

Comedian? Is she saying comedian?
I can’t believe this shit, god damnit
What the… ma… let’s just get this over with
Mic test, one two, alright

You know, I've heard stories (“here we go again”)
These ***** stories (“bloody cry baby”)
A million times
Everyone keeps telling them
D’you know what they say?

Chorus.

They say there's a place for everyone
They say so, but I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I'm so damn lost

Verse 1.

Ever since a child I've had the darkness concern me
I always knew that it was part of the journey
But aging back then it seemed so far to be thirty
It isn't anymore and now I'm starting to worry

Looking at the stars, at the dark and uncertain
How should I play all the cards I've been earnin'?             
Somebody tell me cuz my heart isn't workin'
Yeah, I've painted pictures, but the art is all blurry      
   
Jeez..... I'm all over the place
Doesn’t this damn roller coaster have brakes?
One day I'm a mess the next I'm overly great
Every time I smell success it's like that odor is fake    
          
.......Now I'm changed and I'm feeling weak
Cuz I don't even know what succeeding means
.......I always preach to believe in dreams, but
I'm no longer sure if mine's misleading me

Chorus.

They say there's a place for everyone
They say so, but I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I'm so damn lost

They say there's a place for everyone
They say so, but I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I'm so damn lost

Verse 2.

It seems like all my life I've been searching but blind
I've been looking when I dunno what I'm searching to find
I've, been on trips like surfing my mind
Had a visit to the void and saw the perfect divine

I've faced death, yep, left earth all behind
Yet, I don't get, what's worthy my time, let's
Ask the voices that are lurking inside
Get a hundred different answers now which version am I?

Money, fame and glory?
Or is a simple way my story?
How the hell can I tell how it happily ends? 
Should I just spend all my time with my family and friends?

I'm overwhelmed................. stocked with emotion
And still I feel like nothing but a drop in the ocean
I really wish I could stop for a moment                            
Though life may be cold, but the clock's never frozen

Chorus.

They say there's a place for everyone
They say so, but I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I'm so damn lost

They say there's a place for everyone
They say so, but I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I can't seem to find my way
I'm so damn lost

Outro.

Wow… not a single reaction
The hell is this crowd?
I gotta get outta here
Now where the *****’s the exit?

Yo, anyone know how to get out of this mall?
“Not me mate, I’m also lost”
“Yeah, me too”
“Dude, we’re all lost”

This is really not my thing but I thought your intro/ outro construct was cleverly done. I saw the sheer volume of lyrics and thought 'this can't work' but you have made it work. The vibe was a good one and your vox performance was well-executed I thought and the mix on my headphones sounded balanced.

Wookster is right about the lyrics, always worth an advisory although the odd expletive didn't worry me too much. 

Thanks for posting, it was an interesting listen and I can see that a lot of work has gone into this.

I read the lyrics first then wrote comments while listening.
 
You set this up nicely with the "Critical Comedian" bit at the beginning.
Really good cadence and rhyming (..concern me/...journey  Nice!)
I like the totally different style of the chorus.
Words are going by too fast.
Great outro. Made me think of Hotel California (he said across the generation chasm)

I don't listen to this genre so I don't know what the usual topics are.
Seems like you're in an early mid-life crisis or something.

You put a lot of thought into this and you express it very well but it all would have been lost
on me if I hadn't read the lyrics first. The words went by too fast to appreciate them (to me anyway).
I really like how you laid out the song and the production is good, but might be better to somehow make
it easier for the listener to get what you're saying. Depends on the audience I suppose.
