A song I don't think I'm gonna use - "Phenyethylamine&q
I'm probably just going to throw this one out. For anyone who doesn't know, the title "phenyethylamine" is a reference to the brain chemical PEA, a chemical cousin to amphetamine, which is responible for the fast heartbeat, excited, fast "love-y" feeling when it is released, which has given it the nickname of the "love chemical". The song is about the chemical/feeling of excited love taking over thoughts and leading to romantic relations despite reasons to act otherwise.
If anyone thinks I shouldn't or definitely should, drop a line. Any feedback much appreciated. Thank you all.
PHENYETHYLAMINE
Synchronized with rationale, chemical outbursts start to shift
in an understanding mind toward the emotion's favorite sift
And while once perhaps I would not so easily deny,
facts are deemed irrelevant in the stare of two deep eyes
Catalyst for thought's destruction turns pulse into a spree,
a rapid beat driving on through any clairvoyancy
a word, a phrase, a look, a gaze, all further enflame the fire,
an unexplainable lovable lack of thought fueled by desire
And it goes on, old thoughts are gone, so easy to forget
those that make it feel less worthwhile or make you feel less set
In ignorance it seems so flawless, it makes it taste so sweet
a diamond in misconstrued eyes of chemical deceit
But in the end, I understand, and choose to look away
and accept the glimpse at peace that sits staring at me today
And close my eyes, open my arms and so I can pretend
all I embrace and all I dream will not come to an end
