I wrote another song. Oddly enough, I'm not sure what its about. I just started writing. I think it's about my ambition to suceed and my passion for music. If anyone has any comments, feedback or thinks they know what it's about, please tell me.

Verse 1:
Don't need to stay in C
Going to play out of key
Don't want to be lost in theory
Don't want to be a missing memory

Going up on stage
An audience to engage
Breaking free of my cage
Playing a song full of rage

Chorus:
Living by what I know
Going to reach my plateau
Won't ever let my growth freeze
Rise above the common lot
Taking this chance that I've got
This is my world to seize!

Verse 2:
Won't fade away
Playing my own way
Won't become a cliche
No matter what they say

Out to please a crowd
Won't hide behind a shroud
Going to play it loud
Going to play it proud

Chorus again

Interlude:
Don't want to follow rules
Don't want to say in key
Don't want to stick to tradition
Only need faith in my self
Only need the passion
Only need my ambition!

Chorus again

Ummm I just sat there and stared at it for a few moments after I finished reading it looking like this :| .

Then I went :D , Yeah!

It sounds like it kicks booty. :twisted:

Were you jumping around when playing it?

I like it!

Due to technical difficulties, both with my guitar (stupid pick ups!) and my computer, I can't record it.

Thank you for your comments though. I'm struggling to match the intensity of the last one. Unfortunately, I don't feel the same passion towards the people that inspired this one. But I'm sure I'll get angry enough to write another.

I liked this one a bunch.

Seemed to me the song was about wanting to just play your music and not sellout (like many musicians do.) I have a HUGE respect for that. Loved it. Keep it up!

There's a thin fine line between hate and rage.
Now watch the line be crossed and break!

I think it could be about selling out, but not so much for money, but selling myself short. The last thing I want it to sell myself short because I don't follow keys or know scales or theory or don't have a teacher.

Thanks for your comments everyone.
