I just finished this not too long ago. It's just a weird medaphorical piece of lyrics, comparing both how I feel, and how I'm perceived, to eggs. In the actual lyrics, words inside parenthesis would have to be sung by a backup vocalist. I know this is kinda' strange possibly, but I think it may have worked out alright. Judge for yourself.
"Like a Bad Egg"
-Rick, "RiCterMan," Strayer, Fecit.
This frying pan is not for me.
I'm forced to feel the opposite.
The steam cloud reaches down to me.
I don't embrace it.
(Pre-Chor.):
I know that I'm not satisfied
with the fact that there's potential to fly.
I know what could be.
But still I ask,
"With all this worth,
why do I, feel like a scrambled egg(!)?
(Chorus):
I'd rather be
sunny-side up,
(sunny-side up)
if I were to choose.
Although at times I
may bubble up,
I'll never give up,
and scramble myself.
(Moderately long Interlude, envisioned)
(Words to Bridge):
Don't butter me up...,
or add... salt to the mix.
I know my faults, but there was no intent
to be this way...
(repeat 1st verse)
(Pre-Chor.)
(Slightly Revised Chorus):
I'd rather be
sunny-side up,
(sunny-side up)
if I were to choose.
Although at times I
may bubble up,
I'll never give up,
and scramble myself.
I know, I know, I know
I look like a bad egg,
doomed to burn away.
I don't embrace.
(Revised Pre-Chor. as Outro):
I know that I'm not satisfied
with abuse of potential...
I know what I could be,
but I must ask,
"With all this worth,
why do I, feel like a scrambled egg...?"

For anyone here who may love eggs a little more than most do, don't be offended; I love eggs too. I just like originality, and doing odd things. That is the whole reason I'm typing out this stupid shit about loving eggs, at the end of this post!  Fun stuff indeed...! I hope the lyrics were alright, as well. Maybe we should all go eat eggs and write lyrics simultaneously... -or not... I dunno'.  Later! |

Reminds me of a childrens book somehow. It's not so much the serious type of subject you usually write about (even if it's only a metaphor for something different).
It's funny, though. I do still like it. Nice work.  |

This is pretty much talking about feelings I'm having right now. It's been a somewhat shitty night. But I was trying to achieve a medaphor that was unlike any others that I've thought up or used before. I'm glad you found it to be interesting. Later! |
