I feel powerful as the words surge through me. Their original situation became redundant the moment the author released them for others to adopt, at which point the words conveyed a thousand different meanings to a thousand different interpreters.
That's the beauty of shared lyrics; they're public domain. The same words can be applied to different situations. They're relatable. People project their own lives into their ambiguous lyrics. At the core, humans all experience the same emotions, just in different contexts.
And as I sit here, I know that my context is different to the author's, but somehow we have connected, forever linked by a melody that touched our subconscious. That melody is now my life as well.
