murmur
Ephemeral Symphony: Decoding the Poetic Dance of Love
Lyrics
You're a murmur of starlings
You represent the collective sound of starlings, a murmuring presence.
Darling
An affectionate term, expressing endearment.
All your ever-shifting parts
Your constantly changing aspects make you a contemporary masterpiece.
A work of modern art
Your essence is compared to a work of modern art.
That I cannot understand
I struggle to comprehend you fully.
And I can't look away
Despite the challenge, I'm captivated and cannot divert my gaze.
Or convey
I find it difficult to express my thoughts about you.
All my slip-sliding thoughts
My thoughts are chaotic and entangled.
All twisted up in knots
Feeling perplexed and emotionally tangled.
Explaining how I feel
Struggling to articulate my emotions.
So I'll keep writing you all these love songs
I express my love through continuous songwriting.
All my life long
A commitment to write love songs for the entirety of my life.
Trying to get it right
Persistently attempting to capture the essence of love.
And you'll keep asking me
You question my motivation for creating love songs.
Why I do it
Seeking to understand why I persist in this endeavor.
Why I can't quit
Your curiosity about my commitment to songwriting persists.
But I just don't know how
Despite your inquiries, I lack the knowledge of how to stop.
It's just like breathing now
Writing love songs has become as natural as breathing for me.
I'm an old tv set
Comparing oneself to an old TV set struggling for clarity.
Trying to get
Attempting to receive a clear picture.
The picture to come in
Utilizing makeshift materials in the pursuit of clarity.
With strips of kitchen tin
Using strips of kitchen tin to improve reception.
Wrapped around my ears
Metaphorically, facing challenges with distorted hearing.
But it's mostly just snow
Despite efforts, the clarity remains elusive, akin to TV static.
Even though
The visual and auditory experience is disrupted.
I'm giving it my best
Giving one's best effort despite persistent difficulties.
I just haven't got it yet
Yet, the desired clarity remains unattained.
As clear as it can be
Clarity is not achieved as much as desired.
So I'll keep writing you all these love songs
Continuing the theme of expressing love through songwriting.
All my life long
A commitment to this expression throughout one's life.
Trying to get it right
Striving for accuracy and authenticity in love songs.
And you'll keep asking me
Your questioning of my motivation persists.
Why I do it
Seeking an understanding of the reasons behind my actions.
Why I can't quit
Your curiosity about my commitment endures.
But I just don't know how
Despite your inquiries, I lack the knowledge of how to stop.
It's just like breathing now
Expressing the inevitability and naturalness of the creative process.
There's a word that I learned
Introducing a concept learned from a friend about communication.
From a friend
A term of endearment used by a friend.
About saying what you've got
Describing the act of expressing possessions by negating what they are not.
By saying what it's not
An approach to defining things indirectly.
Possible to say
Acknowledging the limitations of language in conveying feelings.
So then all that I know
Alluding to the speaker's limited understanding of certain aspects.
I suppose
Recognizing the speaker's knowledge gaps.
Of language and of rhyme
Reflecting on the complexities of language, rhyme, existence, and time.
Of being and of time
Emphasizing the insignificance of knowledge without the presence of the beloved.
Means nothing without you
The essence of language, rhyme, existence, and time holds meaning only in the context of the beloved.
