"The Anthem Of Your Underground"
By Brandon Alllin
Verse 1
I look around this empty room
I can't imagine what I'd do
Without this place, a part of my life
It's hard to tell if i'd even survive
The bed's are made, the light's are off
The time's have changed but there not lost
The memories will always last
Captured in our photograph's
Chorus
So just what it's like to be
Another part of history
With our world upside down
And and another day gone by, because
The clock is ticking out
The word's falling from our mouth's
Day's far and in between
And you'll never be the same
As me
Verse 2
The only day's I felt alive
Were spent here on the summer night's
Sitting on the dock till 4 AM
Watching the sunrise once again
The door's are locked, the place is clean
In a year where will we be
I can't forget the moment's we shared
Am I the only one, who ever cared ?
Chorus
So just what it's like to be
Another part of history
With our world upside down
And another night gone by, because
The clock is ticking out
The words falling from our mouth's
Day's far and in between
And you'll never be the same
As me
Bridge
Were sitting
Were sitting on the dock
Were waiting by the clock
Were watching the night fall
And hearing the sunrise
Were sitting on the ground
Were passing every sound
Were singing to this anthem
This anthem of your
Anthem of your
This anthem of your
Underground
Chorus
So just what it's like to be
Another part of history
With our world upside down
And another day gone by, because
The clock is ticking out
The words falling from our mouth's
Day's far and in between
And you'll never be the same, because
The day's are passing by
And were living out our lives
Another endless night
And you won't ever be the same
As me

that sounds like you took lots of lyrics from Ataris songs and rewrote them
"So just what it's like to be
Another part of history "
i dont understand that, as a sentence
overall, i dont like this because its really corny like an Ataris song. is it a reference to Saves the Day - At Your Funeral, or is 'anthem of your underground' from something else, too?
"The word's falling from our mouth's"
i like that line a lot

I don't see how these lyrics are like the ataris, but that's your opinion.
and the lines " So just what it's like to be, Another part of history"..i didn't expect too many people to understand. there's a story behind this song, but i don't exactly feel like getting into that right now. yes, the name was taken from the At your Funeral song by saves the day, but the name fits the song (if you knew the story) perfectly.
I take your criticism well and think about it, but im perfectly happy with the way this song is now.

if you could explain how you find this song like an ataris song, that would be appreciated.

Please! Don't write songs about another "anthem"! Everyother song on everyother CD has created has their own anthem!

By the way I seriously didn't mean every other cd, pathetic that I had to point that out. Atleast come up with something original next time.

I'm pretty sure that since I named 4, and that was all I could think of, I was aware you didn't actually mean every cd. So really, there was no need for you to point it out, open your eyes.
Oh, and since this song isn't original enough for you, then I might as well explain how I completely ripped the title off from the song 'At Your Funeral' by Saves The Day:
"This song will become, the anthem of your underground"

i would agree with you there, but i just felt the need to list ton's of songs and bands and cd's using the word "Hero" in one of his threads for a song he wrote. Heh, im sad.

The nostalgic element sort of reminds me of Here in This Diary by the Ataris, and I think that's what that other dude was pointing out.

basically its about a kid who has to move away from all his friends and stuff..and doesnt want to leave becuase all his friends and that town will be gone from his life and he feels like he belongs there.
i can relate to this song, so thats why i wrote it.
