Miracle 14,068 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Following the 2011 "Yuyi" theme, I've written some concept lyrics (that are part from a poem I wrote back in the day) fully developing the concept of mermaids and the sea. I didn't make it as a Lady Gaga concept song, but as a entry for a poetry contest. Since It has been quite succesful in the contest webpage I wanted to fix it a bit, add a chorus and post it here as lyrics adjusted for her. Dear SailorVERSE IImmersing into the seaBeware of the spooky monsters therethey're scary shadows of the siren's singThrilling heirs of a witch curse that makes them deafHidden from the ocean's magic lyreCHORUS I Dear Sailor, don't be afraidDon't worry if it's obscure, everything will litWhen you get near our treasured marble shellWhere there's no overpriced rents, no billsOnly whispers of mermaid's prayersPOST - CHORUS IWe used to sing to the moonlightWe used to sing like larksBut they used to confuse our voicewith a melody of helpThey didn't know they weresongs of beauty and loveCHORUS IIDear Sailor, don't be afraidDear Sailor, please take a chanceDon't think we have dissapearedIt's just that we hideto live in a mythand keep the mystto those who are daredevil and freePOST - CHORUS IIDear Sailor, Dear SailorWe love youVERSE IIThe terrifying old tales sayour grandmas made that witty, beautiful man sinkOur home was built by lies, a malicious flamWe've totally made it shimmering, adequateBut we miss journeys of myrthCHORUS IIIDear Sailor, don't be afraidDear Sailor, get hereTell everyone we wanna seewaves romping on our roofthat our nature has no roomTell everyone our minds haved turned into gloomThat we have no loom, we're just creaturesof the dark side of the moonOUTRODear Sailor, we'll flood the sea tear by tearif you don't take the risk we need There's no certain / obvious main chorus but all the choruses start with the same words "dear sailor" even if they have slight lyrics / melody differences Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,379 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This could work for Gaga if it was some seriously experimentally atmospheric track where she uses a very haunting modified vocal or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miracle 14,068 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 This could work for Gaga if it was some seriously experimentally atmospheric track where she uses a very haunting modified vocal or something.Keep in my mind that it comes from a poem. I focused on the theme rather than it actually making it work as a song for Gaga that's why it's a concept. I know turning these lyrics into a pop song is rather difficult but well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know turning these lyrics into a pop song is rather difficult but well Which is why it would work better if there were no typical pop song restraints I'd love it, don't get me wrong, I'd love a very conceptual, metaphorical and fantastical approach on some next album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic 11,922 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I find it quite chilling and dark. Not sure if that was the intent but I really liked it. Good work I don't know how good you are at music but you should try create a little melody to go with it and develop it further. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
