Slave (RC)
Question: Wrists bound, I am slave to all I want. Feet bound, I am slave to all my wrongs. Hands tied, I am slave to my desire. My heart cries, I am a slave to my fear. Demand purity, and Still I bring You dirt. Soiled and stubborn, Pierce my beating heart. Speak a word, Break my dying mind. Pull me close, Place a purpose on my life. I need Your hope, I need Your wings To fly. Answer: Originally Posted by SarahTheGuitarist Wrists bound, I am slave to all I want. Feet bound, I am slave to all my wrongs. It's a fine opening, but it doesn't have much 'hook' to it. It's not original enough to make someone sit up and take notice, unless the music does it. Hands tied, I am slave to my desire. My heart cries, I am a slave to my fear. The rhymes here make me think that perhaps you ought to change the 'bound' repetition in the first verse. I like the "My heart cries" "slave to fear" lines. Demand purity, and Still I bring You dirt. Soiled and stubborn, Pierce my beating heart. Speak a word, Break my dying mind. Pull me close, Place a purpose on my life. A few things here--I like the first two lines especially, but 'break my dying mind' seems almost redundant, your contrast doesn't make any difference-the mind goes from dying to broken. I need Your hope, I need Your wings To fly. I like it--it's got a nicely polished and snugly fit feel, but it's a bit cliche. You'll need to back this song up with interesting music to make it work.
