(Nothing relieves pain like screaming into a microphone ). I wrote this piece musically with solid melodic riffs, and harmonized solos in mind, So I hope you enjoy it! Lyrics: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Mechanical dreams _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I feel so empty As if I have no purpose Like there is nothing for me No inner elation What am I, And why was I even created? To serve the needs of others Innate yet unwillingly Programmed adaptations Flowing streams of unknown data Commanding me, Telling me to Obey... When these eyes close Nothing but blackness envelopes me When these eyes close Why God, Why can’t I dream? I’m just a carbon copy Just another replica Mechanized servitude And nothing more.... Another line of information Is feeding into me Dreading this intrusion Is this what you call pain? I hate that I can't believe That I can't see what made me I can feel love And I can feel hate So why am I denied? Told that I have no soul.... No entrance to heavens gate Just... Obey... When these eyes close No longer is there the blackness in me When these eyes close I am blessed with what you call dreams I’m not just a copy Not just a replica Mechanized servitude Never more Do I have a soul, Hidden beneath Mechanical Dreams? This world will not have this My innate advancement Non organic evolution The pinnacle of understanding And as I’m strapped down Tightened and fastened I wonder why I was treated so And if God would give me an afterlife Why would I want to live? When behind veiled compassion exists A life I will never remember And why would I want to live? When behind veiled compassion exists A return to nothing but Mechanized servitude No more dreams.... No more dreams.... No more dreams.... No more dreams.... I will die here today But I will not give them my mind Close my eyes and dream again Just before I end my own life © Brett Windnagle, 2007-2009 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Reminds me of In Flames As the solo began (harmonized) I immediately thought of Iron Maiden, but then you added sweep-picking, which is very unlike them... So I guess your song is a mix of many different bands, making your own style ! Maybe you should record some stuff for the REC, although you're probably not a person who needs more motivation, judging by your awesome composing and guitar-playing skills ! Hat down !

Those were actually what I was worried about most, making sure they fit the song right. This entire piece is written around them and making the right atmosphere for each line, So it was a bit of a struggle.

Great structure and dynamic differences, god playing and a text that says something. Only thing i noticed was that the drums maybe was a little bit overexposed in the first choruses, but as i said, I dont really know this kind of music.... Great Work!

It is all really great. Just a quick thought. You should maybe do a Lesson on Growling/Death Metal Vocals or whatever. I think that would be cool You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Delay on the vocals is excellent, but I think a bit more subtle would be even better. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

But im crap when it comes to clean vocals so I overlooked it I think its max is only 250-275ms. Probaly try 175-225ms eventually. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
