The Price Is Your Soul

About Lyrics,

I’ve always had a thing for the supernatural. I don’t believe in it of course, but I’ve always thought it made for an interesting story.

Crossroad is about a demon that makes deals with people, gives them things that they desire, for a price. Just your soul. Without a soul a person is supposed to go to hell. If you believe in it.

The character in my little lyrical story makes a deal, for what isn’t important because the price was her soul and nothing is worth an eternity in hell. They made the deal ten years ago and that’s how long they had to enjoy their end of the deal before the demon came to collect.

This person tries to fight it but in the end they get dragged to hell. So it has a happy ending. *Sarcasm*

Moral of the story kids, no material object is worth an eternity in hell.

Although, if you made the deal to keep someone from dying, then you’ll probably think it’s worth it…

Love
Roxanne

Crossroad

Lyrics, ,

I feel him when I sleep
See his face at every turn
One mistake is all it takes
For an eternity to burn
Made a deal with the devil
Now he’s coming for me
To drag my soul to hell
To collect his standard fee
I’m counting down the days
Had it tattooed on my skin
For a constant reminder of
The day they call my next of kin

I met him at a crossroad
He offered me a deal
I thought nothing of it
I didn’t think it was real
I met him at a crossroad
On a dark and stormy night
Now he’ll drag my soul to hell
If I don’t put up a fight

Just as the clock strikes twelve
He starts knocking at my door
I guess this is something
I can no longer ignore
The night that I met him
I pretended it was a dream
That the world was the same
As it always had been
But now he’s banging on my door
And he will get inside
I knew I couldn’t run away
But I didn’t get time to hide

I met him at a crossroad
He offered me a deal
I thought nothing of it
I didn’t think it was real
I met him at a crossroad
On a dark and stormy night
Now he’ll drag my soul to hell
If I don’t put up a fight

He whispered to me
Just close your eyes
You won’t feel a thing
But it was all lies
There was a searing pain
As my soul was torn away
That deal we made was
Ten years ago today

I met him at a crossroad
He offered me a deal
I thought nothing of it
I didn’t think it was real
I met him at a crossroad
On a dark and stormy night
Now he’ll drag my soul to hell
I didn’t put up a fight

Obsession

About Lyrics, ,

Endless Love is about a stalker killing their obsession and then killing themselves so they could be together forever.

I wrote it non gender specific so that each reader could identify and imagine themselves being the stalker. We all become obsessed about things from time to time so I feel like we are all capable of doing awful things because of our obsession.

Obsessions are kind of like addictions. Drug addicts become obsessed with getting their next fix. The stalker was addicted to its prey and could only think about trying to find a way for them to be together.

My obsession is perfection. I know I’m imperfect, but I can’t let anyone else know. Well, anyone except you reading this. But that’s just between you and me ok. Don’t tell anyone.

Love
Roxanne

Endless Love

Lyrics, , ,

I’m getting anxious
And I just can’t wait
I’ll be with you soon
For you are my soul mate
I knew I loved you
From the very first moment
That feeling I felt
I finally knew what home meant
Thinking about the future
And all I see is you
How many kids do you want
Cause I’m thinking two

Our love is one for the ages
An endless love story
To be played out on stages
Just like in Shakespeare
A love like ours never dies
See what I’m getting at here
You are the light
To guide me through life
You are the reason I breathe
Without you I wouldn’t survive

I’ve missed your smile
And that look in your eyes
When I come over
Just for a surprise
It hasn’t all been perfect
Like Romeo and Juliet
But there’s no need to worry
A happy ending we will get
I know you have doubts
But one day you’ll see
We are always and forever
We are meant to be

Our love is one for the ages
An endless love story
To be played out on stages
Just like in Shakespeare
A love like ours never dies
See what I’m getting at here
You are the light
To guide me through life
You are the reason I breathe
Without you I wouldn’t survive

We’ll be together always
Nothing can tear us apart
Not even your death
Since I pierced your heart

Our endless love story
You are the light
To guide me through life
You are the reason I breathe
I’ll meet you in the afterlife

How My Parents Got Together

About Lyrics, ,

The Messenger was written based on the story of how my parents got together. My dad was dating this girl and my mum had a thing for him. Then she found this girl was cheating on him. I wrote that she tells my dad about his girlfriend cheating on him because that was how I remembered the story. Apparently I was mistaken and my mum didn’t tell my dad. She was just there to pick up the pieces. I like this story better. It has more tension, more drama. Although they both end the same, with my parents married with three kids.

So that’s the story of how my parents got together.

Wait… I forgot to mention that my dad’s ex was my mum’s friend. I guess that’s why she didn’t mention the cheating thing.

Anyway…

The Messenger

Lyrics, , ,

I look at him and
My heart starts racing
But he’s with his girl
So I need restraining
He was so happy
Just like I wanted
Imagine my surprise
When she didn’t want it
One day I caught her
With another guy
Doing all the things
That one would imply
So what do I do
Because I can’t lie

Will he shoot the messenger

I don’t know how to tell you this
But your girlfriend is a whore
I just saw her with one guy
And I bet there’s many more
I didn’t know how to say this
But I’m guessing it’s the end
And maybe you should look for
A more suitable girlfriend

I regretted it
Once I said those words
They just came out and
He looked so hurt
And for a while
He was really down
I didn’t think he
Would ever rebound
But time has passed
And he’s moved on
Like something out of
A cheesy rom com
He now believes
For him I’m the one

Will he love the messenger

I don’t know how to tell you this
But your girlfriend is a whore
I just saw her with one guy
And I bet there’s many more
I didn’t know how to say this
But I’m guessing it’s the end
And maybe you should look for
A more suitable girlfriend

And so it seems
The stars have aligned
Cause she had her chance
But now he’s mine

I didn’t know how to tell you
Your ex girlfriend was a whore
But I only need one guy
Cause there won’t be anymore

Nickelback

All Things Music

I love music videos that have a story to it. Nickelback’s Someday is about a guy trying to get his girlfriend to stay but she’s determined to leave. She drives away and he follows her… right up until she crashes. She dies and then they are reunited because it turns he was dead all along. I like stories with a twist. There are clues along the way that hints something’s not right with him, have you questioning what’s going on.

If I ever get to make music videos, those are the ones I’ll make. Stories. Drama. Action. Plot twists. I think about what the music video would look like when I write lyrics.

I hope they get to be made.

Love Yourself First

About Lyrics

Just Being Me is about how sometimes in life, people pretend to be who they aren’t because they think that more people will like them that way. But the realest, bestest friends you will ever have are those you get by being yourself. People respond better to those who are comfortable in their own skin, so rather than trying to get everyone to like you, you should try liking yourself first.

But if it helps, I think you’re great!!

Love
Roxanne

Just Being Me

Lyrics, , ,

I went to a party, tried to be cool
But they looked at me like I’m a fool
I tried to dress up but it seems I failed
I used to think they I had it nailed

So now I stand here
Wishing it were clear

I don’t know who I am
When I stand still, When I just stop
Trying to impress them
I don’t know how to be
Someone they like, Someone they see
Why can’t I just be me

I walk in a room and heads are turning
They look at me like my hair is burning
I’m starting to think that I should go
How it got to this I’ll never know

So now I stand here
Wishing it were clear

I don’t know who I am
When I stand still, When I just stop
Trying to impress them
I don’t know how to be
Someone they like, Someone they see
Why can’t I just be me

I gave up caring what they think
So I let go and had a drink
Now they see me for who I am
Guess being fake was the problem

So now I stand here
Everything seems clear

I’m starting to know who I am
When I stand still, When I just stop
Trying to impress them
I’m starting know how to be
Someone they like, Someone they see
I’m just being me

I’m just gonna be myself
Why should I be anyone else

January 1993

All Things Music

So it was my birthday today and I thought I’d post about what was happening in music when I was born.

The number one song at the time of my birth, according to take40.com, was Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You.

That song is amazing and spent 10 weeks at the top of the charts.

Something else that happened in music around the time I was born was on January 13 Bobby Brown was arrested for simulating a sex act on stage.

So not a lot happened.

Love
Roxanne
