Music Stops
Music Stops is a new song from the band my friends and I have formed, The Troll Bridge It’s posted on myspace www.myspace.com/thetrollbridge. I sound kinda funny because I have a cold (which turned into a cold, sore throat, and fever, which is keeping me at home today, which means I have to miss band which is depressing because we might of gotten new music or something, and we have drama presentations so I have to miss that, and wait till I’m back at school to present mine) and the song is really fast. We are kinda shaky at the beginning but when we get into it’s good.
Anyway, I think I’ll talk a bit about the lyrics in Music Stops. I wrote these lyrics, and if you listen to them you’ll actually find they are fairly depressing.
Music Stops by The Troll Bridge
Verse 1: Over, over, over, over
again, again, again, again,
You think I don’t know what your doing
So I’ll just pretend.
The lies are killing me,
the way you say that it’s okay
the time you’ve spent acting all normal
One day you just run away.
Chorus 1: The music stops
And I try to say
But you won’t
hear me.
Thats right,
I won’t fight
I just don’t
Understand.
Verse 2: Going, going, going, going
Needing more and more and more
Wanting nothing else but to go all out
and lose some more.
I’m sick of hearing you,
Saying that you’ll be alright
But I know that your not trying
yes or no it’s now or never
Chorus 1: The music stops
And I try to say
But you won’t
hear me.
Thats right,
I won’t fight
I just don’t
Understand.

Chorus 1: The music stops
And I try to say
But you won’t
hear me.
Thats right,
I won’t fight
I just don’t
Understand.
Verse 3: You know that you have the power
You know you can make it better
And I know that you can stop
ruining your life,
Forever.
I know that you’ve tried before
And I know you have failed
but I know with determination
You can go, and you won’t bail.
Chorus 2: In a trance
The time of your life
Thats not, true.
I know that
You’ll do it again
‘Cause not all is great
And life’s not a dance.
So those are the lyrics. I generally don’t write about nothing, my songs, stories, poems, anything all have meaning. This song in particular is about my sister and her drug addiction and alcoholism. It’s about how sometimes I don’t feel like I have complete faith in her recovery, and my permanent fear that she’ll relapse. It’s about how sometimes I feel like its my job to stop her when I can, and its about me telling myself and her telling me that everything is okay, when it’s not. But it’s also about how when she does try, she does great.
I used to be afraid to tell people about my sister. But I know when I talk about, even just breifly like I did there. She hasn’t heard this song yet, but when she does, if she listens to the lyrics I think she’ll realize that its about her, and it’ll effect her greatly.
Actually, right now, she’s doing awesome and I’m not worried. There hasn’t been a problem in a long time and I’m extremely proud of my older sister.
This has nothing to do with the lyrics, but the third verse might sound sloppy as well because it was a last minute change to the melody. So I didn’t really know how to sing it…but yeah… 
I think I’ll post more about my lyrics more often. But I don’t write everything. Maddy writes alot of the songs, and theres a few we’ve done together as a band.
