Is it wrong to express yourself...

No one is forcing her to listen to it.. If you tired her up in a room and made her listen to the song on repeat than I could understand. If you have things you need to express than I think you have every right to do that, whether you chose to share your experiences or keep them private amongst the two of you, that's your choice. As long as your careful not to get caught in a defamation of character issue, do your lyrics claim anything about her.. like, "Mandy, your a cheating bag, and I hate you for killing our dog. Your a sociopath and a lesbian and you eat old socks for lunch." I think your okay. LOL

I also think that people get "offended" to easily. Really, get over it. Grow some tougher skin.

If I totally misread that then as long as you are aware there can be consequences for putting that stuff out there then go for it. Think about it this way. Who is going to really want to be with the guy who puts all their dirty laundry out for all to know? Also, don't get caught up in a defamation of character suit.

Just because someone has violent thoughts doesn't mean that they should go to a shrink or are "totally messed up".

Luke if that were the case then i should be in a padded room in an asylum. You just gotta have self control. lol especially at work!

Ironically enough didnt somebody have a thread about wanting to hurt people just this past week?

having violent thoughts and singing about them are different. I've been into martial arts and sports since I was a kid and i LOVE to fight. Is that messed up? Probably. Is it messed up to write a song about hurting somebody. You are GD right its messed up! Go talk to a professional or better yet, step on the mat with someone. Its fun, a good stress reliever and it's a great way to stay in shape! :D Now go hug someone you little rascal you :rofl:


by the way, when I said I love to fight I meant on the mat. Just sayin...

I write short stories that are heavy on violence and are fairly graphic with said violence. Writing stories or songs is just another medium to vent. You fight, other people write.

Im a lover not a fighter! :p

hahaha. As raptor said i believe its just another way for people to let everything out. Thats like saying drawing an music arent both forms of art...

EDIT: oh god i loatheeee hugging and touching like that. Nah you can keep your hugs pal.

Look, he asked for an opinion. I gave it to him. I didn't ask for one so I don't really care. Write all the stories you want. All I'm saying is if he specifically writes about PHYSICALLY hurting someone he is probably in a bad place and should talk to someone. He can get into a whole lot of trouble if he is threatening her in ANY way. No body wants that. I get that he hurts and is angry but putting into song that he wants to hurt someone is pretty darn (i'll say it again) messed up!


I dont even know that is what he did. If someone wrote anything about hurting me or my family in any way I would get the police involved.

Agreed. Keep the hugs. I like my personal space.

Edit: Then go yell at all of the other song writers who've done the exact same thing.

They didn't post here and ask for an opinion. ;)

that and I don't really care about them. I care about my bp.netters. He's going to do what he wants. You are going to do what you want and I'm going to go over to Mikey's house and hug the heck out his adorable self! Life's too short...
