I came up with the idea for a song called "Forbidden Sin" a while back. Though I had the chorus down pat, I ended up writing the entire 11 minute backing track first and then not being able to write the lyrics for it, which I originally intended some fantasy theme in mind for.
Then I suddenly had the idea of writing lyrics about fashion, so the 'forbidden sin' is now wearing inappropriate clothing, and how that's ultimately a bit silly and people should be free to wear what they like.
Thanks to Sofox for his help polishing up some of the verses.
lyrics
Forbidden Sin
I find it hard to toe the line
So I wear jeans with too much shine
If I think they’d look good on me
Who cares what sex it’s meant to be?
It’s not your business what I wear
Or if I’d like to dye my hair
Long gloves to cover up my skin
High heels to wake the beast within
Forbidden Sin!
If I should buy some shiny socks
Or dress up like a human fox
There’s no accounting for your taste
Restricting fashion’s such a waste
There’s far more urgent kinds of mess
Than some guy trying out a dress
Why is it frowned on to get in
A tight suit like a second skin?
Forbidden Sin!
What You Have Done Is Forbidden!
It Is Sin! It Is A Forbidden Sin!
Suppose I paint my talons black
That shouldn’t cause a heart attack
But if I’d rather paint them blue
What has it got to do with you?
Suppose a catsuit’s what I’d like
Or racing leathers with no bike
Go play your tiny violin
I’ll take my new look for a spin
Forbidden Sin!
