Need lyrics to be checked by english speaking people

Hey I'm writing my first song but I need to be sure I'm not making mistakes in the writing since I'm writing in english which isn't my mother tongue...

 

Here are the verses, I should be adding more but I'd like to know if there's anything nonsensical or mistakes...

 

We should be celebrating
Instead of calibrating
And flutter twice into thin air like butterflies, vibrating

Should there be room for us
In that rather messy universe
My life would feel like a song and I'd want you to sing its chorus

Let's meet at the station!
I don't care the destination
As long as you & I perform some form of soul amalgamation

I wanna take you places
And visit outer spaces
That'll set our hips loose and let 'em sway to our records' paces

Hop to the front seat
Bop to my heartbeat
Snap our fingers on the afterbeat then cuddle in the back seat

Though I don't need no company
Without you I'm in agony
I think of you profusely and quite a bit and a lot and plenty

 

Cheers!

I'd imagine your imperfections might be a good thing????

 

Apparently The Beatles are The Greatest Band In The World? Or so people say. Read these nonsensical lyrics lol

 

It would be hard to correct lyrics without understanding what the vocal line is supposed to be doing. I mean we could tell you if the syntax is off, but not correct the language because a vocal line has a rhythmic and melodic component to it which would then collapse that part of the song if it were altered.

 

That being said, in reading through it, apart from the cheesy lyrics, i can't find any tortured english in there.

Also, you forgot the word baby. (this is a joke)


Yo yanG, were you inspired to write lyrics by vsnares going all vocal on us?

Well thanks, I hope the lyrics are not too cheesy or that they fit the naive mood of the song, i do mean to play it to someone, i wanna be nice :)

 

here's a rough sketch, i'm not happy with the singing, i'm posting so that you can get a better picture. the telephone sound is intended.

It's fine, the last line doesn't flow very well though. You could change that last line's structure to less rhymes to help you to be able to sing it faster or alter the rhythm. That's the thing with rhymes, they always seem to leave a pause after them, it's like an exclamation mark or something, even if it's just a trick played by our minds. This can kill the flow a little unless you're careful in how you pepper them through.

I'm hardly a closed minded nun. Remember, I'm on a fucking IDM forum.... an IDM forum.. Think about that for a second before claiming people are closed minded nuns.
