Edit: that said I think the song had some promising moments though was a lot of the time banal

 Description The song on the surface appears to be a twisted love song, with Rihanna telling her lover and family to stay away from her because she will hurt them. Whether it’s out of spite or just innocent guilt, is unknown, but Rihanna begs them to put her out of their lives. But the song’s true meaning is a lot deeper than what it seems at face value. The reason Rihanna asks them to distance themselves from her is because she fears that her fame will do them more harm than good. In relation to a boyfriend or love interest, she realizes that she can’t have a normal relationship because the media will constantly try to rip them apart with rumors and speculation. She sings ‘any love I’m in/ends up in flames’, alluding to the fact that all her past relationships have ended on bad terms. As for her family, she regrets how her decision to pursue the limelight has forced them into it with her against their will. In a statement about the song’s meaning, Rihanna said, “I have a younger brother who is very quiet and prefers to keep to himself but thanks to my fame, the media are always invading his privacy asking about me and whatnot. Even some of my fans keep tweeting him to find out when my stuff is coming and its just sad because I chose this life but he didn’t.
Lyrics
i
friend or foe
I never know
my flames are out of control
v1
i burn everything
you should stay away
any love I’m in
ends up in flames
oh, i’m a broken thing
like a song stuck on replay
[to anyone about to say "corny" SHUT THE **** UP, I KNOW  ]
i’m doomed to keep repeating the past
each and every single day
p/c
friend or foe
I never seem know
my flames are so out of control
c
oh,
stay away, stay away
i’m a broken thing
stay away, stay away
nothing’s safe with me
v2
on a deadly rampage
i’m just a monster
lashing out with blind rage
with all i can muster
but those I love don’t understand
that they are in danger
can’t you see, I’m the enemy
it’s in my nature
p/c
friend or foe
I never seem know
my flames are so out of control
c
oh,
stay away, stay away
i’m a broken thing
stay away, stay away
nothing’s safe with me
r
wildfire burns all
wildfire burns true
wildfire destroys everything
oh baby i’ll hurt you
p-c (x2)
woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh wildfire (wildfire)
woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh i’m wildfire babe
b
i harm everything I touch
and the guilt hurts so much
i harm everything I touch
and I can’t help it
oh, I can’t help it
(ohh, ohhhh)
c
oh,
stay away, stay away
i’m a broken thing
stay away, stay away
nothing’s safe with me
r (x2)
wildfire burns all
wildfire burns true
wildfire destroys everything
oh baby i’ll hurt you
p-c (x2)
woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh wildfire (wildfire)
woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh i’m wildfire babe Disclaimer
This song is from a Rihanna album I create for a new Create A Label season so the quotes in the description aren't real. The album was meant to be kind of her sharing her truth so addressing her issues with fame was what I focused on with this track. |
either way, bump!

I finally came up with a melody I actually love!
I recorded it in my phone.
I hope I still love it tomorrow when I wake up and listen to it again

Well, think of it like this. I've written plenty of songs for the opposite sex, as well as relationship songs, intercourse songs, breakup songs, and braggart songs… none of which apply to me, but it is my style laced all over the lyrics. So, it's like saying it's "written for you for me"…

The random boom in popularity, though. Guessing everyone's excited for PH9.

I've been trying to sit down and write a song over the course of a few days, it's annoying. I'm used to penning a song in under 25 mins or so, but I want to see the outcome of how I'd go.

It was just like in those black and white movies
Your eyes could see right through me
Like you knew me.
With your ****ed up philosophies,
And the way you speak
That makes it so damn hard to breathe
I was a young girl of only seventeen
Running around like she'd just uncovered her dreams
Meanwhile back in reality
No sense of normality,
Your twisted brutality
Started to get the best of me
Not who I thought you were
Thought that you were a star
I had plucked from the universe
But when the nights grew longer and the nights got cold
You were out there searching for another wandering soul
And when the time alone started taking it's toll
The only thing I could do was watch the story unfold
It was cruel. You were cruel
You took away everything I knew
Until I had nothing left
Not even you.
I stole back the key that you had to my heart
When your deceit was purely just a form of art
It ripped me apart
The stereotypical bad guy,
I guess humanity has to be in short supply
For you to control me and lie
No need to romanticize
You clipped my wings so I couldn't fly
Then you pushed me further away from the sky
You took me back to reality
No sense of normality,
Your twisted brutality
Had taken the best of me
Not who I thought you were
Thought that you were a star
I had plucked from the universe
But when the nights grew longer and the nights got cold
You were out there searching for another wandering soul
And when the time alone started taking it's toll
The only thing I could do was watch the story unfold
It was cruel. You were cruel
You took away everything I knew
Until I had nothing left
Not even you.
You clipped my wings so I couldn't fly
Then you pushed me further away from the sky.
You clipped my wings so I couldn't fly
Then you pushed me further away from the sky.
And when the nights grew longer and the nights got cold
You were out there searching for another wandering soul
And when the time alone started taking it's toll
The only thing I could do was watch the story unfold
It was cruel. You were cruel
You took away everything I knew
Until I had nothing left
Not even you.
Not even me.

A work in progress
I've got a thing for older men cause they'll love me the way you never did
There's something that's so hot about a bear and twink relationship
...
Sometimes I feel just like Lana Del Rey
Cause I've got daddy issues that haunt me everyday
It's supposed to be a sarcastic / satire / novelty song.

#AfterHours
coming soon
Late nights, your place
Won't leave this dreamscape
I won't close my eyes
Soft touch, slow kiss
Wanna live like this
Forever and for life
New nights, old home
Drown out the echoes
Of old flames gone away
Lately you've been
All I can breathe in
This feeling I can't escape
