Lyrics / Different Shades of Light

Wake
from your dreams
and pull your eyes down over your tears
we won’t wait
for you
today

Now stand up
and swallow your stress
your cries will go, unheard
but I still
won’t let you rest
alone

Hear me breathe
and taste my scorn
let it choke and ravage your mind
So feel my seed
and fight my war
take a ride into the sunless tide

So breathe
just one breath
and hold onto that air for a while
you only get
so much
today

Take a look
but only one look
or I’ll eternally blind you of time
and won’t
let you see
tomorrow

So hear me breathe
and ride the tide
into the sunless sunset of the day
Feel me creep
and writhe inside
driving you through anger and dismay

Now wake
from your dreams
and see through the sunless rise
walk to the west
away from the duress
and the dimly lit sky
Walk through the limelight
but pay no attention to the glare
or the catatonic faces in tow
learn to hold your tongue
become numb
and smile at everyone you don’t know

I don’t know if you were inspired by it or it is a really weird coincidence, but the rythm, the mood and the lyrics are incredibly similar to Radiohead’s Exit music for a film. Read/listen to it if you haven’t, you’ll see.
Nice work, but too similar, I’m afraid.

Actually, yes I basically based this off of Exit Music over a year ago when I was first trying to get into writing poetry/lyrics. Like you said, it’s too similar, so I could never really use this, but after looking it over, I think I’m going to take some ideas from it, and try and work them into something new and original.
