I'm not getting into another argument with you about what you feel is a legitimate entry or not...I'm not wasting anymore energy arguing with your soulless, droll opinions.
To explain my portion of the song...the Hunters would be the murderers...as in the shooting in the club has already happened, and his mothers final criticism causes him to snap, lose it, go crazy, lose control, go into a rage...you do understand that emotion, if you actually feel emotions that is???
Have you ever listened to a rap song...all the swearing that is in those songs? Must not have if your virgin ears sting from what I wrote!
Now the the thing that really hurts my feelings is that you would even insinuate...INSINUATE that my contribution to the song is in some way an intentional hindrance to my teammate, beatinglikeadrum!
Judge our entries separately...he worked hard on his and I worked hard on mine. I still stand by our entry in what we were trying to convey, but if my part not being associated with his gets beatinglikeadrum in the next round Im all for that.
I had fun working on that song with him, it was a cool experience.
Since the great and powerful HUGAMARI has spoken...feel free to pile on.

Hmm..let me try to put it another way.
I'm all for people finding new ways to creatively express themselves, or using certain themes/ideas/events and putting a unique spin on them. Even in Hug's review, he wasn't necessarily bashing the concept, just the execution.
The Orlando shooting was a historically tragic event that is still something that affects people today, and will for many years. Especially for a lot of members here on ATRL, who are apart LGBTQ+ community, we feel personally connected to it. That being said, anything to do with the shooting should be handled very carefully. Again, I'm all for creative expression, but there is a time and place for everything. I haven't read your full song, but, it just seems pretty tasteless. The metaphors and lyrical choices you make, I just can't see any justifiable reason.
“Oh, we’re in a night club and some crazed maniac is going around killing people?"
"Not gonna lie, seeing you suffer, you try to utter, as blood gushes further!”
“Beg for forgiveness, but I'm f***ing vicious, your carcass delicious!!”
Although these lyrics may mean something else to you, you have to be very aware, especially in cases like this, how your lyrics might be interpreted by your readers.
Imagine if someone had done this song, but about Sandy Hook. Kinda see my point?
