Lyrics
Obsession it takes control,
Obsessive thoughts have taken over, dominating the speaker.
Obsession it eats me whole.
The obsession consumes the speaker entirely.
I can't say the words out loud,
The speaker struggles to vocalize their emotions.
So in a rhyme I wrote you down.
They express their feelings indirectly through poetry, immortalizing someone.
Now you'll live through the ages,
The subject of the poem will endure through time.
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
The speaker feels the essence or heartbeat of the person within their writing.
I have written you down
The person has been documented in writing.
Now you will live forever
Assurance that the person will be remembered eternally.
And all the world will read you
Their story will be known universally.
And you will live forever
Confirmation of eternal existence through the written word.
In eyes not yet created
Even by future generations yet to come.
On tongues that are not born
The person's essence will live on in language yet to be spoken.
I have written you down
The act of inscribing someone's essence into writing.
Now you will live forever
Ensuring perpetual existence through documentation.
Your body lies upon the sheet,
Metaphorically, the person's body is represented on the written page.
Of paper and words so sweet.
Describing the person through beautifully written words.
I can't say the words,
The speaker struggles again to articulate their emotions verbally.
so I wrote you into my verse.
Conveying feelings indirectly through poetic expression.
Now you'll live through the ages,
The perpetuity of the person's legacy through the written word.
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
Sensing the life force or essence within their writing.
I have written you down
Reiterating the act of documenting someone through writing.
Now you will live forever
Assurance of everlasting existence through the written word.
And all the world will read you,
Their story will be universally known and read.
And you will live forever
Confirmation of eternal existence through the written word.
In eyes not yet created
Even by future generations yet to come.
On tongues that are not born
The person's essence will live on in language yet to be spoken.
I have written you down
Repeating the act of inscribing someone's essence into writing.
Now you will live forever
Ensuring perpetual existence through documentation.
I have read her with these eyes,
The speaker has experienced the person through their own eyes.
I've read her with these eyes,
Reiteration of experiencing the person through the speaker's eyes.
I have held her in these hands.
The physical connection and intimacy with the person.
I have written you down,
Confirming the documentation of the person through writing.
Now you will live forever.
Assurance of eternal remembrance through poetic virtues.
The virtues in the verse,
Highlighting the value of virtues expressed through verse.
And you will live forever.
Confirmation of eternal existence through the written word.
I have written you down
Repeated assurance of eternal remembrance through documentation.
Now you will live forever
Confirmation of everlasting existence through the written word.
And all the world will read you
Their story will be universally known and read.
And you will live forever
Confirmation of eternal existence through the written word.
In eyes not yet created
Even by future generations yet to come.
On tongues that are not born
The person's essence will live on in language yet to be spoken.
I have written you down
Reiteration of the act of inscribing someone's essence into writing.
Now you will live forever
Ensuring perpetual existence through documentation.
