She Loves Me So
Eternal Love in Rust: Anthony Green's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I keep writing myself into rust
I find myself deteriorating or losing vitality through my writing
It's all around us
This sense of decay is pervasive in our surroundings
Get naked and get into bed, right away
An urgent desire for intimacy, suggesting immediacy in the relationship
I keep writing myself into rust
Reiteration of a self-destructive pattern in writing
Make it all seem so much longer
Making time feel more extended or burdensome
But soon, you'll be far away
Anticipation of physical distance between the speaker and the subject
Just keep those lonely hands in yours pockets and
Advice to keep one's emotions guarded by keeping hands in pockets
Fold away all your best clothes
Suggests putting away one's best clothes, possibly a metaphor for vulnerability
I'm only truly happy if I know
The speaker's true happiness is contingent on knowing that the subject loves them
She loves me so
Repetition emphasizes the intensity of the subject's love
She loves me so
-She loves me so
-She loves me so
-I keep writing myself into rust
Reiteration of the self-destructive theme in writing
It's all around us
The pervasive feeling of decay continues
Get naked and get in my arms
Expresses a desire for physical closeness
As fast as you can
Emphasizes the urgency of the desire for closeness
I keep writing myself into rust
Repeating the pattern of self-destructive writing
Make it all seem so much harder
Making challenges seem more daunting
But, soon, you'll be far away
Anticipation of increasing physical distance
Far away
Reinforces the idea of being far away
Keep your lonely eyes to yourself and
Encourages keeping emotions private and guarded
Fold all your best clothes
Symbolic suggestion to put away vulnerability
Make sure all those mother fucking boys know
Asserting that others should be aware of the subject's love
She loves me so
Repetition intensifies the affirmation of the subject's love
She loves me so
-She loves me so
-She loves me so
-She loves me so
-She loves me so
-She loves me so
Final affirmation of the subject's love
