r/LyricalWriting

[Discussion] need help naming a song based on the lyrics

I'm looking for something independent from the lyrical themes themselves so I'm not going to share them at this time but they are about missing a close friend I've lost contact with so much that I'm concerned I feel love for her moreso than friendship. Lines like "but these memories are so perfect." (Representing confusion in the context)

Any related words or small phrases I could title the song with? I prefer things to be a bit surreal and figurative if that helps specify.

(Crimson Witch [Lyrics]) looking for feedback. I reckon I’ll change the second verse but would like your thoughts.

Verse 1
Daughter of Lilith
Caught in your wrappings of lace
Hiding behind lies
A ceramic shard
Of your porcelain face cuts
Deeper than glass knives

Chorus
Demon of desire
I know who you truly are
A beast in woman’s form
Bleeding those who brave your love dry
Punishment of a carnal fire
I know what you truly are
A witch best suited as whore
You dreaded demon of desire

Verse 2
Find yourself a god
Go ahead and burn in hell
Torturing my dreams
Metamorphosis
Witch of misery and lust
Counteract your spell

Chorus
Demon of desire
I know who you truly are
A beast in woman’s form
Bleeding those who brave your love dry
Punishment of a carnal fire
I know what you truly are
A witch best suited as whore
You dreaded demon of desire

Bridge
And in the end, our dark exchange reveals
That "whore" has been too generous a seal
The anger, dread, disgust, and jealousy
Was what you took worth all my misery?

Chorus
Demon of desire
I know who you truly are
A beast in woman’s form
Bleeding those who brave your love dry
Punishment of a carnal fire
I know what you truly are
A witch best suited as whore
You dreaded demon of desire

All Alone (With You) [Lyrics]

[Intro]
The electric bill seems high this month,
The numbers, budgetary crimes.
I left the lights on overnight anyway —
it feels like company sometimes.

[Verse 1]
I cook too much for just one mouth,
I see plates set out for two.
There’s always a little something left,
like me trying to get to the truth.

[Chorus]
Love is a flowerbed, they said,
intended for all to see.
You watered plastic plants instead,
and you never watered me.

[Verse 2]
There’s nothing more to do or fix,
no promises of when peace begins.
Just the clinking of our favorite sipping cups,
with the evening coming in.

[Bridge]
The silence hums like a fluorescent light,
Changing from red to blue.
Your ghost hums a faint second part,
beneath this sliver of a moon.

[Chorus]
Love is a flowerbed, they said,
intended for all to see.
You watered plastic plants instead,
and you never watered me.

[Outro]
Now I’m all alone in the house with you,
and all your echoes too.
You craft a song about me loving you —
and I pretend that it’s true.

[End]

How I envisioned the song:

[Lyrics] Blue Ghost

[verse 1]

Cellphone light on my bedroom walls
20/20 vision, still don’t answer my calls
Battery dying just as fast as I do
Swear I will never love another like I love you

Eyes wide open at 3 AM
Type, erase, then type again
Thought if I could write the perfect line
Maybe you would turn around and change your mind

Losing my mind as the clock ticks by
Wish I never ever wasted your time
Wrecked the best thing I’ll ever know
Now I’m stuck staring at your blue ghost

[chorus]

If you called right now I’d pick up fast
Like we never broke, like nothing passed
Maybe that’s pathetic, maybe it’s true
I still belong to you

Every night I swear that I’m moving on
Then I see your name, all my strength is gone
Guess some hearts never do
Stop belonging to you

[verse 2]

Told all my friends that I’m alright
Then I saw your car at a red light
Still hear you knocking on my front door
7 AM, laughing loud on the floor

Your coffee cup still by the sink
Catch myself buying your favorite drink
Every little thing keeps piling up
Just like the dust on that cup

[chorus]

If you called right now I’d pick up fast
Like we never broke, like nothing passed
Maybe that’s pathetic, maybe it’s true
I still belong to you

Every night I swear that I’m moving on
Then I see your name, all my strength is gone
Guess some hearts never do
Stop belonging to you

[bridge]

I still never touch your side of the bed
You still running circles in my head
Tried to bury every trace of you
But every road somehow still leads me to

Late night drives and all the words I never said
Now your memory’s living rent-free in my head

[final chorus]

If you called right now I’d still lose sleep
Think of all the memories that I keep
Maybe letting go, ain’t that easy to do
Guess part of me still belongs to you

Every night I swear I’m almost through
Then your blue ghost pulls me back to you
Guess some loves don’t fade out clean
They just learn how to haunt your dreams

[outro]

Battery dying beside my bed
One last message I’ll never send
Morning light coming into view
Still waking up belonging to you

(Feedback appreciated)

[lyrics] Who wouldn't be in love with you?

60s soft rock kind of song

[Verse 1]

Baby, I can’t believe what you say.

Is it true what you ask me?

I’ve always been in love with you.

From the first day that I saw you.

[Verse 2]

After a long time, when you left.

I needed an answer, and though.

I’m not meant for you, I can’t believe.

What you ask me, if I love you.

[Chorus]

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?

[Verse 3]

Now we’re so far from each other.

But in my dreams now and then.

You come into my arms.

And say the words.

I long to hear.

[Guitar solo over here]

[Verse 3]

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?

(I never felt this way)

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?

(Just the day you came into my life)

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?

[Verse 4]

Now I know I’ll be alone.

Cause there’s nobody like you.

Now I long for a kiss.

A kiss that will never come.

[Outro]

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?

Who wouldn’t be in love with you?
