Lyric Idea: I Am
January 6th, 2010 | By Kal
I tell bad jokes in the morning
I am a dichotomy
I value respect
I think too much
I over analyse
I don’t save files properly
I need telling more than once
I might appear arrogant
I might say might to soften the blow
I ruin the moment through inaction
I want someone who knows better
I am self absorbed
I need to slow down
I can’t remember
I want to grow up
I am sorry
I said too much
If it’s bold, it means I’ve added it since I posted this. Sometimes I have ideas just before I drop off to sleep :)

hey, I love it, i think it’s a greasat song idea, ’cause you’re being you’re self.. just let the words come out by they self, you’ll figure out what phrase is next, you rock !!
sorry about my english, I’m from argentina… I’m still studing :P
Hey Kal, I really like these lyrics they are honest and get me thinking aswell, I really like the first line I’m not sure why but it a great way to start off the song, keep up the great work! I am very excited to see more :)
// Kal, these lyrics are many sensitive // :) //
Alright Kal, very impressed! Reminds me of Good Shoes song, Ice Age I think it’s called. “I ruin the moment through inaction” is an awesome line. The phrasing of the lines could be really interesting, especially in the last few lines. You got any ideas of how it would sound like in a song? Shouty/rocky/punky style maybe-slightly different from your other stuff!?!
This makes me think of the lesser known Alanis Morrisette album- supposed former infatuation junkie (much better than jagged little pill). If you didn’t learn the whole album off by heart when you were 14, now is definately the time to do so. It’s the every line starting the same thing and the general stream of concsiouness thing that’s similar.
I particularly like line 1 and line 10. x
Hey B, any comparison with Alanis Morissette can only be a good thing – thank you. I will give that album a listen to over the next day or so, thanks for the recommendation.
Lines 1 and 10 huh? Perhaps they have a particular truth to them xx
“I might say might to soften the blow” – This is one of the best lines you’ve ever written.
