"If I promise to you boy That I’ll never talk again And I’ll never love again I’ll never write a song Won’t even sing along I’ll never love again So speechless You left me speechless, so speechless Why you so speechless, so speechless? Will you ever talk again? Oh boy, why you so speechless? You’ve left me speechless Some men may follow me But you choose “death and company” Why you so speechless? Oh oh oh"

This song above is called Speechless by Lady Gaga. She wrote it to a plea to her father. It deeply inspired me because the meaning in the song is having that one moment in your life when you can't find the words, they just slip right out of your mind. I have had so many times in my life where i couldn't find the words to tell someone something. I become Speechless. Being speechless invokes the metaphor of not being able to speak because of shock or fear. This song could also be interpreted as threat to someone, if they leave what you will do, out of spite or anger.

The pictures below By Jerry Uelsmann, Jasondecariestaylor, and Andy Goldsworthy inspired me because they all have so many different parallels of meanings but to me they have to do with this untenability to speak. the little girl in the corner has her eyes shut and looking up, like she is in so much joy and delight there are no words to describe it. In the middle picture it displays a picture of the Mona Lisa. That painting in particular has always eluded many because of her secret smile. She doesn't speak or have words written on her face, but her smile says so many things. The last picture that really influenced me is the one of the rock balancing carefully on a peak. In a way it reminds me of when you are teetering on the bring of self destruction or of a great fall, and one word or one sound can send you spiraling over the edge. This pictures have so many meanings, but to me The stand on the lines of feelings we cannot process into words.
