lyric of the day 2/7/08
She wrote this song because she was being stalked and wanted to understand the mind of the stalker. It's not really a happy song; it's actually very creepy and, having been stalked before, I can relate to it. I don't do well with people constantly in my face (or on my screen, on my phone, around me every day). In fact, someone I don't know well does it too much, and they're cut off.
Such is the way of one who has been stalked.
Into this night I wander;
It’s morning that I dread.
Another day of knowing of
The path I fear to tread.
Oh
Into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride.
Nothing stands between us here
And I won’t be denied.
And I would be the one
To hold you down.
Kiss you so hard,
I’ll take your breath away.
And after I’d wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear.
- Sarah McLachlan, "Possession"
