Musical lyrics enhance his identity

his life is written in songs and all along 

I was looking for his voice in the wrong places

his mouth was never indicated for such expression

their lyrics took it all 

as he hums life blasting through the stereo

I analyze his selection

to finally get a perception

on what his playlist identifies

everything he holds inside

misfortune to him, a fortune to others

life makes sense in 3 minutes and 30 seconds

feels like purgatory 

close to the heavens of lyrical bliss

and the hell of pasts evil mist 

to think it took me so long to understand his playlist

as I sit in his car

listening to the future, the past, and the present

I realize his life is on a shuffled selection

of someone else's inspiration 

listen listen hear 

put him on replay

comprehend 

because their words mean more than platinum albums

it incites the mystery of his history

in every sound wave you will hear him

and for once truly meet him
