:cool: I recently finished recording a song I wrote initially for acoustic guitar and it has grown a bit beyond that. I wanted to get an oppinion about the lyrics from you guys about something I get from those who listened to it so far.

A friend of mine listened and commented that "this was a very nice sounding song; The lyric has a nice flow and the use of metaphor and simile offered a very vivid picture of the subject." Then he said "but you better not try to market that song because you might get sued. Remember what happened to Judas Priest?"

Now 2 things will have to happen for you to understand what he meant: 1. You have to listen to the song and 2. You have to read the lyric. Here's the lyric:

Die Away Easy-by Archie McLeod III

Sometimes it's hard
And I feel like I wanna' give up
And I'm down to the last drop of coffee
In this big old coffe cup
Called life..........

And sometimes life just ain't fair
People walking all around you
Like you're not even there

And I ain't never felt
Like I really belonged
Folks standing there listening but they never hear your song
And the more you cry out, the more they run and hide
They don't ever want to feel the pain and the hurt that you feel inside

Chorus:

That's why I wanna' lay down
And die away easy
The damage done and it's all that I can do.
The fight ain't worth the battle and a change for me is due
I wanna' die easy

Verse 2

Somewhere along the way
I lost touch with myself
Givin' way to the whims and the whines
Of everybody else
That I Love

But sometimes that love is not returned
Seems that after so long that's a lesson that I should have learned

Chorus

Verse 3

You say I sound like a cowardly man
Well maybe that's true
You've got your oppinions
(And I've got mine too)
But I've got the power to control my destiny
There ain't nothng you can do about it
It's All up to me

Chorus........

Now as you read this, remember all things are not as they seem and as readers respond, I'll explain the lyric in more detail. And now here's the link to the song:

My question? Do you think the lyric here is socially irresponsible or socially unacceptable? Do you think this lyric may cause someone to harm themself? This song came from a personal experience, yes but I don't want the listener to get the wrong impression or interpretation of the song. :confused: Comments?
