Smosh Forums > POTW ---> Week 20 ---> Entry Thread

This week's theme is SONG LYRICS!

Inspiration here if needed.
PS. Writing lyrics on a piece of paper then taking it a picture of it is very unimaginative. Use your brains, people.
The closing date is Thursday, January 22nd, 10pm GMT

RULES
Similar to the now dead SOTW, POTW will allow people to take pictures,(themes will be given out) and post them. People will vote for which picture they think is the best.

1.You must have at least 50 posts to enter.
2: You must have been a member of Smosh for two months.
3. The Photography MUST follow the weeks theme.
4. Resize the pictures if they are too large, or put them into a spoiler.
5. You may edit, but you must include the original picture. *
( This is a biggy. Please, try NOT to edit your picture to death.)
6. You may not vote for yourself.
7. You MUST post your own pictures. Anyone caught taking pictures off of websites, will be banned from POTW.
8. No pre taken photographs, thank you very much, If you are talented at this, you shouldn't need to revert back to your old stuff.
9. Have SOME level of professionalism about your photographs. Taking a picture of a bowl of fruit is fine but make it interesting to the viewer. This is what we are all about, people.
10 We will refer to a similar way of voting that is present in the SOTW as it has been found to be more effective.
And for this week there is an additional rule;
- Include the song lyrics and title in your post that your photo was influenced by. Example in spoiler below;[spoiler] IPB Image

'It's just past 8:00 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says: "Do not open before Christmas" '
Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued - Fall Out Boy[/spoiler]
INCLUDE PHOTO OF YOURSELF AT THE SETTING OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPH AND ORIGINAL (IF EDITED) OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED

REMEMBER bitches, it is not the quality of camera that matters in this, it is how creatively you use it.

"Sunday morning is everyday
For all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found God"

It is from the Nirvana song, "Lithium".

It is about a man's wife who died, and he turns towards religion to prevent him from suicide. Yes I know it's creepy but I love the song. The thing near RIP is supposed to be her ring.

I love this idea, song lyrics. As some have said, it's highly inspiring. Also, I feel like people can actually find and use some other ideas to affect their photos, as apposed to the usual just thinking of photo ideas to go along with the theme. The theme allows people to go in different places and use their creativity more effectively. Hard for me to explain, but yeah.

I shot some pictures last night for this, but I didn't like them and I felt that it was slightly inspired from the song but the pictures didn't represent the song as well. I don't know how else to say that. So anyway, I'm going to shoot some more tomorrow for this.

Song: Hosanna by Hillsong United
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQGJdTpMUcU

Lyrics: [spoiler][Verse 1]
I see the King of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing

[Chorus]
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest (x2)

[Verse 2]
I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees

[Bridge]
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Movie Stars and Super Models - The Rocket Summer
How come my life ain't like this movie?
I should try to look some more like that.
And maybe then I could be a movie star

Movie Stars and Super Models - the Rocket Summer
How come my life ain't like this movie?
I should try to look some more like that.
And maybe then I could be a movie star,
And maybe then you'd always laugh at my jokes.
'cause life would be just like this movie,
and I would never feel alone. In fact,
all the problems that I have would go away,
and I would forget how to feel sad.

'cause this silver screen that I'm looking at
is making me a little bored of my life 'cause
its not what I'm looking at,
'cause this has so much more of excitement,
thrills, and adventurous things in every life.
And a sparkle is the reflection in my eye.

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
If only the shows were as real as the glows
then we'd never see the same,
but I guess we'll never know.
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
Well they showed it, and we bought it.
So you see it's not just me, its sweet - It's in the movie.

She wants a better body and some super model moves.
'cause in her head she's always been the ugly one.
Well hey, we think we're ugly too.
And it's true that we will never know
all of the things that she could have known.
Well I wonder when she thought it was that she would win?
'cause man she got so thin.

Every now and then she would start to pretend like she was a star and in the movies they're in.
But it's strange 'cause it seems
there's never happy endings.
Is it make believe?

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
If only the shows were as real as the glows
then we'd never see the same,
but I guess we'll never know.
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
Well they showed it, and we bought it.
So you see it's not just me, its sweet - It's in the movie.

The Horrorist- One Night In New York City.
It's about a young girl...
She's only fifteen years old and has blonde hair and blue eyes.
...
And he said, "Take this pill..." And she did.
And then she said, "What did you just give me?"
"Ecstasy." he said. And then...

He fucked her all night. Fucked her all night. Fucked her all night.
Fucked her all night...

It's just one night in NYC. One night in NYC. One night in NYC.
It's just one night in NYC.

I really want a new camera. D:

Jan. 19, 2009. 09:26 AM

There's a lot more where these came from. Since I took so many photos this morning and on the morning of the 16th, I had a hard time choosing which one that I like the best for this competition. I was orginally going have my entry inspired from the song Poplular,(Wicked) but I didn't feel that the picture itself was good enough, although it went with the song. Today I experimented much with the angles, focus, and also turning the flash on and off, so these turned out "better." But it was still pretty hard to capture a good shot since I had multiple things going on in it and I had to get the angles/focus/lighting that I wanted. Oh, this would have been great for the diptych theme, too.

So, here's my entry: (I usually hate using the camera's flash, but sometimes it can work)
IPB Image

"Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!"

- Defying Gravity (Wicked)

Complete lyrics:
[spoiler]GLINDA
(spoken) Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
(sung)
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!

ELPHABA
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition

BOTH
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now

GLINDA
(spoken) Elphie, listen to me
Just say you're sorry
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted

ELPHABA
(spoken) I know
(sung) But I don't want it
No, I can't want it
Anymore

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
(spoken) Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could
do together.

(sung) Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda
Dreams, the way we planned 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem

BOTH
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

ELPHABA
(spoken) You too
(sung)I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend

ELPHABA
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

GLINDA
I hope you're happy!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!

ELPHABA
Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her

ELPHABA
Ahhh!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Down![/spoiler]
>Plus, here's an amazing live performance from them.<

I have a hate/love relationship with Fall Out Boy. I like their old stuff and that's about it.

LYRICS:
[spoiler]I got my stitches stitched, I got my fixes fixed,
And in my aching head I got my kisses slipped.
Our gossip lips stuttered every word I said, I said,
I got your love letters, corrected the grammar and sent them back.
True romance is dead, I shot it in the chest then in the head.

And if you wanna go down in history then I'm your prince,
Because they've got me in a bad way I've never seen a heart I couldn't break.
It was never about the songs, it was competition,
Make the biggest scene, make the biggest...

Which came first, the music or the misery?
We're high-fashion, were last chances.

And if you wanna go down in history then I'm your prince,
Because they've got me in a bad way, I've never seen a heart I couldn't break.

QUOTE

I hung up the phone tonight,
Something happened for the first time,
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush,
Cause the possibility that
You would ever feel the same away about me,
It’s just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth,
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized,
And I just got to know

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
All that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love,
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you,
Are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

Has it ever cross your mind when we’re hangin’,
Spending time girl,
Are we just friends, is there more, is there more,
See it’s a chance we’ve gotta take,
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last,
Last forever, forever

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love,
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you,
Are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

Why do I keep running from the truth,
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized,
And I just got to know

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love,
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you,
Are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

3OH!3 - Don't Trust Me.

X's on the back of your hands,
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands.
And your setlist (setlist),
You stole off the stage,
Had red and purple lipstick all over the page.
B-b-b-bruises cover your arms,
Shaking in the fingers with the bottle in your palm.
And the best is (best is),
No one knows who you are,
Just another girl alone at the bar.[spoiler] IPB Image

I was listening to this song and it made my think of my friend Goldy (pictured). These words are a reflection of her and everything she's been through. Which is just about everything.

You were a screaming mess on a hospital bed.
You were a violent night thats ended in death.
You were a 100 feet of emptiness below.

[spoiler]Thoughtless Jolly - Made of Glass

There’s a kite caught in a tree not far from here.
It reminds me of you and me and our desperate love.
Cause I can’t fly when you smother me, but I’ll just fall to the ground without you, and our desperate love.

You were the saddest song, that I could sing.
You were a broken bridge dropping a thousand feet.
You‘re my reason to try be everything.
You were a starving child, on a TV screen.
You were the ship beneath a storm mounting.
You’re the broken hands on a pianist.
You’re lost
And there’s a boy made of glass who stays out the rain cause he’ll slip and he’ll fall and he’ll break and then he’ll be gone.
But there’s a girl made of concrete who holds his hand.
She knows just want he wants, what he needs so he won’t go smash under her.

You’re the only place, I really belong.
You’re the line I scream in my favourite song.
You’re a mistake I made, that I won’t admit was one.
You’re a boiling day led out in the sun.When we’re all happy, and we love everyone.
You bring me to think of what I’ll become cause I’m scared.
You just seem to know me so well.
And I cant remember anything before, you came around.
It’s a joke to say I’d ever been as happy but I am now.
And you just seem to know me so well.
You were beautiful when you fell asleep, then you’d sit up awake and you’d talk to me.
Tell me everything's going to be okay and we‘ll heal.
You were a screaming mess on a hospital bed.
You were a violent night thats ended in death.
You were a 100 feet of emptiness below.

You're an accident in a roadside stare.
You're a statue in a broken monument.
You're a microphone picking up everything that I say.
You're a little girl, trapped in an old deep well.
You’re a time long ago, when I could still really feel like I was still alive when I could feel your hands on my skin.
You’re the cruelest thoughts, that I could never tell.
You’re the waving hands of my hardest farewell.
You’re a daydream I won’t ever wake from.
Everything I hate, I love, I need.[/spoiler]

I'm going to use this chance to SHAMELESSLY promote this guy, Thoughtless Jolly , he's amazingly talented and this song and May are some of the most moving things I've ever listened too. A truely great songwriter.
