From_Now_On Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Oh look Another quiet night Chased into a dark room Long after burnt out the light He screams He's screaming at her again *Chorus* Walk Walk softly Softly now She wants to run But her feet won't lift off the ground Any minute now... Gotta turn back around *End Chorus* Oh look Another quiet night At last he's gone to bed She's survived another fight... (So) he picks her up And throws her down He glares at her and walks away Say she'll be okay...will she be okay? He'll be coming back Pick yourself up Please... ((chorus)) Oh look Another quiet night Broken inside and out She's such a beautiful sight... (As) she's looking up From on the ground Trying so hard to still stay strong Pretend it's alright when ev'rything's wrong Ev'rything is wrong Pick yourself up Please... ((chorus)) Face the demon face to face And she'll get hurt again She'll get knocked down But she's gotta turn back around Walk...walk so softly now Run...can't lift off the ground Turn...any minute turn back around And... Face to...face the demon Can't escape...the demon No mistake...is reason For this Link to comment
thatguy04 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Well obviously from the words, I say you could make a title around Dark Nights or something like that, but I'm pretty sure you already thought of something like that. Link to comment
DropToZero Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hey, those are really good, I actually try and write lyrics once in a while. They come to me while in a class or lecture sometimes....dont know why, but usually math hehe. Um...honestly, yes this is the hard part, choosing the title.....but if I had to pick certain points that come accross from your song...it would have to be a title doing w/....nights...darkness....pain...and being unable to run..or get away. Do what you want...but what came to me first was something like "Still Pain"....being stuck and unable to run from your problems(loved one)....and I hope this song isnt personal.....b/c its not a good thing.....hope I was some help...

Mr Mister1 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 That's pretty powerful stuff you have there, great poem! I'd either name it "Another quiet night" or "The Demon." Link to comment
From_Now_On Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 LtAwesome I can understand the perhaps *odd* times in which we receive inspiration. And as far as math class is concerned...my mind has a tendency to wander frequently when I'm supposed to be focusing on that subject. I guess there's something about pre-calculas that just makes me...oh...I don't know...look for anything else to occupy my mind with? Although, being easily distracted is my general nature...which I suppose has become apparent as I have already rambled on with no real subtance to speak of in my reply. haha. So, let me try this once more: First and foremost, Thank You for your input. I appreciate the help. As to whether the song is personal...actually, it is. Not everything I write is always personal...Although it is, I would say, more often than not. I've since gotten myself out of the situation and I actually have written this being free from it. However, you don't forget the feeling and when I wrote this my mind reverted back to that time in my life when I really didn't think I ever would 'escape the demon' so to speak. I still see him on occasion...and I suppose what really is the hardest part is seeing his face start to morph back into that unhuman expression of anger. It's times like that when I remember the feeling...that...fear; even being fairly reassured of protection now, that look can send me back to the old feeling in an instant, and it was such an instant like that...that reinspired me to write these lyrics. Writing is my chicken soup for the soul (lol) and I'm glad there are places such as this where we have the anonymity and ability to not only share, but also receive responses. Thank You again.

Mr Mister1 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Also, I really like your title ideas. At the point of posting this I had not taken time yet to even begin to think of a title. I still have yet to sit down and really think on it, but I very much like both of those. So thank you so much for your help. Link to comment
Mr Mister1 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 No worries, did you ever come up with a name? Link to comment
From_Now_On Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 Actually, I'm stuck between the two suggestions you offered..."The Demon" would really highlight the antagonist of the piece...but the title seems a little...I don't know...simple? It really does lend focus to a very important aspect of the piece though...so I like it a lot. I added the mention of "the demon" in the song as reference to the appearance as well as the attitude of...well, my father on such "quiet nights". For me it draws up a vivid visual of the scowl and the deep crimson shade of his face and his dark eyes...but on the other hand...because the song is more about my inner struggle or strength or weakness, or what have you in the face of the adversity....I like the title "Another Quiet Night". "The Demon" can draw up a visual for me...but I don't think it would have the same affect on someone else. Whereas with the title, "Another Quiet Night" the entire situation is encompassed in a more ironic and poetic way. Hah, so now that I have walked through my entire thought process and come to a conclusion I think I'll go with... "Another Quiet Night". And heck, maybe I'll send you a whole bunch of pieces to lend me title ideas for. lol. But again, thank you very much. I really appreciated it. Link to comment
Mr Mister1 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Wow I'm honoured that you chose my suggestion! Sure feel free to send me other poems and I'll try come up with names for them. Link to comment
From_Now_On Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 Awesome, I might just take you up on that offer. Link to comment
illusionglimps Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Black light,Lost soul,Trapped innocence,Silent scream ...or somehtign like this.Good? Link to comment
Bonzophuebes1 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I like ANOTHER QUIET NIGHT my self but would also add in () this SONG TITLE Another quiet night (the demon) the title gives the satirical affect. With the subject matter it fits. I am a lyricist as well and those are well written lines, would love to hear music put to it. Link to comment
