Story Behind the Song
Disclaimer:
Here is a song i wrote today (4.22.2), i don't know why, but all my songs are kinda sounding like this, not excatly, but slow, sucky, not very upbeat. I guess i was thinking about you're my lionkiller by imbroco and a band i have been seeing alot of on the internet, pedro the lion and the upcoming stryder album jungle city twitch. The song is called Lionkiller. I don't think i know the lyrics to imbroco's song, so if i stole lyrics it was completely subconsciously.
I can't believe how much it sucks, i like the basic guitar, and part of the bass, and the bridge melody, but my playing just ruined it. and i can't stop singing soft, and being worried about being heard and stuff, so it sucks even more. And my voice just sucks anyway. I guess i should have used a drum track to keep my rhythm, but i didn't and it shows. The rhythm is bad on the song.
I just decided to go and record a song, and after an hour and a half, this is what came out. Written and recorded in 90 mins, it shows. I am too impatient, especially for a demo song. I didn't want to keep recording over to fix my mistakes, so i didn't except for one big mistake with the bass that i fixed and the vocals were the 3rd try.
This is a long disclaimer, but it needs to be. By now, hopefully you don't want to even hear it.
Lyrics
Lionkiller by Luke Rockly
Peace in the jungle, disrupted by you
i am defenseless, unsensing, why are you stalking me?
with a heart full of hatred for you
misplaced fate, misdirected hate, you are my lionkiller
with your knees bent searching for anything, you're ready to kill
seeing something but thinking that it is something else
your mind deceives you
you believe that you are angry with me
self deceit, no self esteem, why can't you see
that i am not
the lion that you seek, i am only me
with your knees bent searching for anything, you're ready to kill
seeing something but thinking that it is something else
your heart deceives you
your eyes are opening
your mind is knowing
your heart is trusting
you are understanding
that i am not the lion that you seek
that killing me will not stop your suffering
you are the killer and the lion.
