SHINee - Lucifer (English Version)

Original music by SHINee (SME)
Lyrics/vocals by me
Video content does not belong to me

This song is much more complex than I first thought when I started rewriting it, even though I had listened to it dozens of times. It was an ambitious & spontaneous endeavor that went from 330-6AM one night, and I'm pleased with the result ^^

This is not a direct translation, though the feelings are pretty much the same. I'm singing from the perspective of a girl who's trying to get a guy who is being seduced by another woman...love triangle! This song is dedicated to Key, my imaginary husband.

Even when you try your best to turn from
The power she holds over
Your mind is weak and undone
You can't outrun it
Trapped by charm you're tied to her or
Trapped by love would you prefer
You're chained to her you can be sure
Her whisper is the lucifer

Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains
Strung you up, gave you pain
She caught you in her domain
Try to escape, but you cannot get away
All your struggles are in vain
Tell me who's the one to blame

Guard against her spell of love she'll ambush you, lucifer
G-g-guard against her magic she will use on you, lucifer
Dodge the lies she'll throw at you to make you give your heart to her
Where she really wants to go
You don't know, you don't know

When she first filled your eyes back then
She was all that you could see
You were blind to everything else around you
You were blind to even me (but I let it go)
Thought you were okay
It was your first t-t-t-t-t-time feeling like this
You began to change
And I wish I warned you way before she came

Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains
Strung you up, gave you pain
She caught you in her domain
Try to escape, but you cannot get away
All your struggles are in vain
Tell me who's the one to blame

Loverholic robotronic x2

Now she forcefully took all of you
And no matter how much you want to
Try to take back your time and effort it's too late to take back your words
No one can help you
You don't d-d-d-d-d-d-deserve any rescue
No one's here for you
Gotta g-g-g-g-g-g-get on your own yeah

You were hunted down, she pursued
But you gladly gave in, think I don't know
Now she rules over you, soul and mind and body too
There's no going back, do you regret choosing this track

Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains
Strung you up, gave you pain
She caught you in her domain
Try to escape, but you cannot get away
All your struggles are in vain
Tell me who's the one to blame

You're a fool for thinking love's the reason she holds you so tightly to her
If you'd open up your eyes to see what's right in front of you
Maybe finally you'd know, you can outgrow, playing her prisoner
Til then the burden rests on only you to find the truth

Loverholic robotronic x2

Leave her side you cannot
Cut her off you cannot
Flee from her you cannot, she won't let you choose
Captive by her every day
The troubles that you go through
Nothing you can do

She is all that you have in your heart now
No more room for that other possible route
It's a game, if you look you lose
And you lost yourself, this is so long farewell
I'm giving up on you at last
It's my final choice, I let too many things pass
Hope you find your way out of
Her controlling order and this thing called love

Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains
Strung you up, gave you pain
She caught you in her domain
Try to escape, but you cannot get away
All your struggles are in vain
Tell me who's the one to blame

You're a fool for thinking love's the reason she holds you so tightly to her
Do you think I care about your problems
Dug your own grave, hear yourself complain
Maybe finally you'd know, you can outgrow, playing her prisoner
Let me know when you get sick of her rein
Won't be long til she drives you both insane

Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains
Strung you up, gave you pain
She caught you in her domain

Loverholic robotronic x2
Guard against her spell of love she'll ambush you, lucifer

I like your rendition of an English version of this song. I know there are a lot of mixed feelings about this video, but right now I'm reading THE INFERNO, which was originally in Italian and translated many times. Every translator puts their own spin on the epic poem; some choose to keep the rhyme scheme, some try to decode it word for word.

I liked the rhyme scheme you had, melloe, and I agree that you keep the overall message -- love triangle! (gasp!)

[Rikza99]

The voice is so baaddd!!!!

[xxEeryrisxx]

The lyrics are good. Usually English covers don't match the rhythm, but this is fine. It's just your singing needs some work. Pitch and what not. You're just a little flat.

[miniwarlordpro]

srry im a disliker but the singing doesnt really go with this but you a good singer and keep on going!

[kaytixxx43]

[cuteangel1261]

This is good! You have a very beautiful voice! I love how you sang it. Can you do a video of just you singing the song and to not have the "Lucifer" in the background? I really want to listen to your voice clearly. And people why hate this? Don't you know all the hard work that was put into this? I mean come on! This clearly deserves more LIKES!
