Jetzt ist alles klar und ich bin froh immer mal wieder eine neue englische Formulierung zu lernen.@ Topic: I liked the lines "So I showed you quite directly I can do some things correctly" the most in this song. For me it sounded sarcastic right away. It's like "You told me all the time to do things the right (your) way. Now I do the right thing and see how it ends - nah-nah-nah-nah-na". @ Thomas:

I liked the lines
“So I showed you quite directly
I can do some things correctly”
the most in this song.

What about "set off for a new start and adventure"? Or does "relief" is a better phrase? I really agree with Ben, maybe “set off for freedom and adventure” fits better.

I appreciate your input. Fortunately there's no break between the first and second verses so it'll run right together. No worries! I appreciate your input.

Now it makes sense and it's clear :). Sorry I didn't notice it before. Appart from that I find it's perfect as it is. It's a strong song and the meaning is clear. Can't wait to hear it finished.

The sentence is: "Pretty sure they wouldn’t blame me if I thought that it was worthwhile to erase my online profiles." If you start on "if" then yeah, it kind of leaves you hanging! ;) While those lines work fine, I don’t think that “if” needs a “then.” The sentence is: “Pretty sure they wouldn’t blame me if I thought that it was worthwhile to erase my online profiles.” If you start on “if” then yeah, it kind of leaves you hanging! ;)

Also on the second verse: "If I thought that it was worthwhile/To erase my online profiles", as the line begins with "if" it needs a "then" at some point, but it never comes, leaving the meaning unconclusive. What do you think of: "Now I find that it was worthwhile" if your character has erased his profiles or "If I thought that it was worthwhile/I'd erase my online profiles" if he hasn't gone through with it (yet)? I'm sure it will be a great song, both music- and lyric-wise! I feel exactly what you describe, from time to time!

"Freedom" it is! I can't help but notice the alliteration as well. :)Thomas, "new start" wouldn't work because of the way the syllables fall. "New" would be stressed and "start" wouldn't, so it would sound awkward.Ben, as for your #2, while I like your lines, I prefer my sarcasm. She told me to go away, so I did! Kind of brings the verse and perhaps the whole song together, to my way of thinking at least. I like it. “Freedom” it is! I can’t help but notice the alliteration as well. :)

Meld mich nicht als vermisste Person... okay, ich hoffe das erklärt so manches!Ansonsten gefällt mir der Text ziemlich gut! Viele Grüße Thomas. Hi Andy,

I must loud out laughing as I read yours “Who let the dogs out” ;)
I guess it was Snoop Doggy Dog, wasn’t it?

Don’t know what language you speak, but if it’s german: “Don’t go calling missing persons” bedeutet in etwas so viel wie: Mach keine Vermisstenmeldung, bzw. Meld mich nicht als vermisste Person… okay, ich hoffe das erklärt so manches!

Ansonsten gefällt mir der Text ziemlich gut! Viele Grüße
Thomas.
