You Will Be My Music
Harmony in Longing: You Will Be My Melody
Lyrics
When all the songs are out of tune,
Expressing a time when all songs lack harmony.
And all the rhymes ring so untrue;
Describing rhymes that don't feel genuine or authentic.
When I don't find the words to say -
Feeling unable to articulate thoughts for a desired communication.
The thoughts I long to bring to you;
Expressing the desire to convey deep thoughts to a special person.
When I hear lonely singers
Hearing singers who share a sense of being lost or lonely.
Who are just as lost as me -
Identifying with other singers who are struggling like the speaker.
Making noise, not melody:
Contrasting noisy, chaotic sounds with harmonious melodies.
You will be my music.
Declaring that the person addressed will become the speaker's source of inspiration and comfort.
You will be song.
Stating that the person will be the speaker's metaphorical song.
You will be my music.
Reiterating that the addressed person will be the speaker's music.
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
Expressing impatience and a sense of urgency, unwilling to wait if the speaker is mistaken.
I'll never find the song to tell me
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding a song that encapsulates the speaker's feelings.
All the things I need to say.
Expressing a struggle to articulate necessary sentiments through song.
And I'm afraid as time goes by
Voicing fear that with time, the person addressed might leave.
That someday soon you'll go away.
Anticipating the potential loss of the person and the emotional impact.
And I'll be lost in trying
Feeling lost in the pursuit of songs that may never be sung.
For songs I'll never sing.
Expressing the desire for the person, as it means everything to the speaker.
Wanting you is everything:
You will be my music.
Reiterating that the person will be the speaker's source of inspiration and comfort.
You will be song.
Emphasizing that the person will be metaphorically represented as a song.
You will be my music.
Stating again that the person will be the speaker's music.
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
Repeating the impatience and urgency, unwilling to wait if the speaker is mistaken.
I can't wait any longer for my song.
Expressing an inability to wait any longer for the realization of the speaker's metaphorical song.
