Futile Devices
Unspoken Love and Mesmerizing Moments: Exploring the Essence of Futile Devices
Lyrics
It's been a long, long time
Expressing a significant passage of time
Since I've memorized your face
Highlighting a memory of the listener's face being memorized
It's been four hours now
Indicating the duration since the narrator has been in the person's space
Since I've wandered through your place
Describing the narrator wandering through the person's place
And when I sleep on your couch
Expressing a sense of security when sleeping on the person's couch
I feel very safe
Conveying a feeling of safety during sleep
And when you bring the blankets
Referring to the person bringing blankets
I cover up my face
Describing the action of covering the face with blankets
I do
Reaffirming love for the person
Love you
Repeated expression of love
I do
Reiteration of love
Love you
Restating love for emphasis
And when you play guitar
Observing the person playing the guitar
I listen to the strings buzz
Listening to the sound produced by the guitar strings
The metal vibrates underneath your fingers
Noting the physical sensation caused by the guitar playing
And when you crochet
Being captivated when the person engages in crocheting
I feel mesmerized and proud
Feeling mesmerized and proud during the crocheting activity
And I would say I love you
Expressing a desire to say "I love you"
But saying it out loud is hard
Acknowledging the difficulty of vocalizing love
So I won't say it at all
Deciding not to verbalize love
And I won't stay very long
Expressing an intention not to stay for an extended period
But you are life I needed all along
Acknowledging the profound impact of the person on the narrator's life
I think of you as my brother
Defining the person as a significant and close connection
Although that sounds dumb
Acknowledging a familial bond, even if it may sound unconventional
And words are futile devices
Concluding with the idea that words are ineffective tools for communication
