I think I can bring a fresh perspective and make up for it in passion and emotion. I'd like to be as helpful as I can to newbies having been in their position.
Can't wait to read all your work!

This felt like possibly your strongest work in the challenges so far. "You took me like a bird, I'm your prey" is so immediately satisfying. It sets up a perfect response and sets the mood for the rest of the song. You follow the next stanza with "I chase you through the rain, I still pray." There is such great and clever wordplay throughout this song and that is only the beginning. I don't have much to say other than it was very, very strong.
You've experimented with different formats, such as throwing a reprise, and while the song is a bit lengthy, I don't ever feel as if it drags or tells anything unneeded. Every word counts and all of the emotion hinges on the masterful uses of imagery and metaphor throughout your song.

02. UFO – Paradise
A relevant topic considering what all has transpired this past week. The tone of your work here, especially in the chorus, is morbidly ironic yet true. Pure peace would be finally delivered when war stops and indeed humanity with it. There is a great sense of urgency within your two verses. They are short yet realized in their thoughts, which gives a sense of terror and distress within the chaos surrounding them and us. The best lines in this selection would be the first two of the second verse: "The lakes are dry, their souls are seized, their hands are lined with the pain they leave."
It is a very strong theme. You clearly see the passion that you have for it, especially being able to realize the saddening truths that come together with your issue.

05. UFO – Bloody Hands (Nightmare)
I loved the dark tone you used throughout this song. There were stark contrasts between both your verses and your chorus, the verses being more abstract and telling the story through flashes, while the chorus is more direct and provides us a central direction for the song to go. The bridge is my favorite part of the song - it's shortened and broken around, translucent thoughts that pass to help explain the narrator's thoughts. With this song, I did like that I had to read it a couple of times to really feel like I had a good grasp of the narrative. It's not immediate but could also branch off into different paths. You have a great gift with words and their placement, it drives the song.
