Can we not

If my verses have two different meters is that a fatal flaw?

I re-wrote my song three times today

Yes. Verses should have the same meter because they should have the same melody. Of course it's always okay to venture off by one or sometimes two syllables in appropriate context.

I applaud everyone for putting so much work into this! I think at least the first time I played I wrote my song in the message box a few times

Wow. Literally fixed the meter issue in 15 seconds (I think)

[Hugamari]

Oh, well let me hope I don't get skull dragged then

If it was a song written to melody you could change the meter between the verses, however. For this format is avoid it though

So today in my World History class some friends and I were having a discussion and I said "There's a possibility Jesus couldn't be real" and some girl turned around and joined the convo. She said "How do you know Jesus isn't real? We can't see air but it still exists, so does Jesus". And of course, my Christian friends agreed with her. Then she asked if I believed in science more than I do religion... obviously I said yes because Science can be proven. And she just went on a rant about how humans evolved from apes and blah blah blah.

My thing is... what does air have to do with anything We feel and breathe oxygen, therefore I can prove its real. Jesus on the other hand... And of course I'd believe science over religion... who wouldn't

And of course my friends all laughed and told me I was going to hell, but I came in with a SWIFT clock and asked "How do you know heaven and hell is real? Who told you? Jesus?"

Sounds like she doesn't even know much about Christianity. She would be technically feeling God in the form of the Holy Spirit rather than in the form of Jesus.

ATRL can be really religion-phobic sometimes, but yet I wonder how to treat situations like this. If I share my views on science > religion and the reasoning behind them, it seems kind of rude to them. At the same time, that friend was being rude as well and her reasoning makes no sense, air is a gas and that can't be denied even if you believe in religion.

Some Christians really know nothing about their religion, though. They think it's just believing in Jesus' godliness, but it's not that simple.

I think everyone puts so much work into the game because we all share a passion for music. Some of us actually want to make a career out of this one day, so why not get better by playing?

I actually wanna thank the judges and judges for that.

I'm stuck on one line and it's the first line of my second verse...

Wait nevermind, it's more than one line, ****.

Well, it makes sense, right? The reason why Verse 1 and Verse 2 (and Verse 3, Verse 4 etc if you have them) in melodic music share the title of Verse is because they share a melody. A melody wouldn't randomly add or get rid of five syllables when it repeats, otherwise it wouldn't be the same melody. Almost all pop songs follow this rule sans a few weird ones.

It's really just one line that doesn't fit. Not too bad.

Oh, pop songs. I'm safe then.

Look, meter is important but go off of what makes sense. Every line doesn't precisely need to have exactly 8 syllables, every "stress" as we've been calling it doesn't need to fall in the exact same place every time, every rhyme does not have to be a perfect rhyme (cab and lab opposed to near rhyme cab and lap). What is more important is your content. The technical side is important but most of you aren't that far gone. Although that verse thing is very important.
