Give me some dark, cryptic lyrics.. Or make me wonder what the hell you are talking about!

This is my 1st contest & I'm very excited about it, so don't disappoint me! Lol!

You have 2 options. They are similar, but you can make what you want of them...

Option 1: Write me dark cryptic song lyrics. Think dark rock! Evanescence, Korn, System of a down, Lacuna Coil.. Write about whatever you want.. It can be about love, politics, anger, sadness, suicide, or whatever else you can come up with.. It should have meaning, yet be abstract..


Option 2: Write me song lyrics about absolutely nothing.. This one is pretty tough. I have tried to do it myself & had a hard time. This one doesn’t necessarily need to be dark.

I have an example for this one.. This song is called Jet Pilot (by System of a down)..
“Wired were the eyes of the horse on the jet pilot
One that smiled when he flew over the bay”

You might ask yourself what the hell is he talking about? Obviously it’s political (per usual with this band), but you know what I’m saying.. That’s what I want to ask myself when I read your lyrics!!
PS If anyone knows what those lyrics mean, please let me know! Or what’s your interpretation anyway! Lol!

Rules:
NO StiCKy cAPs, please and NO erotica or adult content
Profanity is fine

I will try to comment on everyone's pieces, but I can make no guarantees! Thanks for checking out my contest!

That’s all!! Have fun!

    PLEASE

    please please PLEASE allow pre-writes.im a HUGE evanescence fan, plus bands like HIM and system and cradle and manson ect, so everything of mine is what you are asking for.plus ALL i write is lyrics,for reasons i can't quite understand except it just works in my head.
    But im on a huge mental block so i really cant write anything new and would really love to get your opinion on a song or two by me as you obviously appreciate lyrics like the ones i write,you even mentioned one of my favorite bands.

    so please allow pre writes.thanks.
