Don't Tell Me - New song Lyric help

JoshFox · 07-05-2013, 06:37 AM

This is a lyric for my new album. A clsoe friend of mine said they didn't understand what the the lyrics were about when I let them hear a rough mix. What do you think? Is it any good? I'm quite proud of them.

How do you fall in love and like it?
Giving all my choices away in a con named comprimise
Sounds like a pack of lies
Trying to disguise
The devolution of my social life

Don't Tell me
You're trying to save
That line
Drives me crazy
Drives me crazy
Drives me crazy

Wouldn't really work for me
Beign told where I should be
Once a time I knew
but now I think that I, don't want to too
How do you fall in love?
How do you fall in love?
How do you fall in love and like it?

Don't Tell me
You're trying to save
That line
Drives me crazy
Drives me crazy
Drives me crazy

How do you fall in love?
How do you fall in love?
How do you fall in love and like it?

Don't Tell me
You're trying to save
That line
Drives me crazy
Drives me crazy
Drives me crazy
Sounds like a pack of lies
Trying to disguise
The devolution of my social life

I think it's a bit too personal on the first verse. "The devolution of my social life". You dont need to let the listener use his mind when he listens to it, he/she doesn't want to consciously comprehend the lyrics. It should just flow.

What does the chorus mean?

What do you mean by "Dont tell me you're trying to save that line".. Which line are you talking about? It should be a little more comprehensible, otherwise it can be put together into something catchy for sure.
