Interlude: Song

Interlude: Song

10/3/2001

Another Song recently written:

Person who it's about would know (of course only if person reads this)

Anyway - like all songs written about people, it's supposed to tell a deeper truth about the Nature of human relationships and the Nature of the person Singing (though beware of Intentional Fallacy)

I called you my enigma once
To try to get a reaction
You wore the name like you wear a coat
Hanging it on your shoulders

I called you my enigma twice
to make sure you understood it
You took the name and folded it
Beneath your memories

You strut by to say Hi
and I try to reply
in a polysyllabic manner

CHORUS
And you cut me right oopen
with those eyes that see beyond the screen of language
set up to
set up to ...
what does enigma mean?

I told you to have faith in the future once
when I was losing faith in my own
you took the advice and wore it
Like a coat upon your shoulders

You come close to say what you feel
and then I reel back
in a polysyllabic manner

CHORUS
And you cut me right oopen
with those eyes that see beyond the screen of language
Right open with those eyes that see beyond the sea of surfaces
Right open
with those eyes that see beyond the creen of language
set up to
set up to ...
what does enigma mean?

I knew a girl whose name I forget
I called her my enigma
I gave her the name cause I wanted to
Forget my own name
