A Little Lyricism/A Little Night Music

So, I've got a new song up on Soundcloud. I don't usually mention stuff like that because it would take this little barely existent blog off mission. Bonus points to those who can tell me why this belongs on "Music and Orthodoxy".

You get one hint:

V1:
I tremble when you speak my name
There is no containing all the thoughts I have of you
I’m terrified I can’t explain
How insane it can be seeming that I find myself in you
The unexpected insertion into history is a mystery makes no sense to me
How two can be in unity, unconfusedly, inseparably,
Perfectly true in each whole yet joined into one
How can I approach you and not be completely undone


Chorus:
And don’t come too close come too close come too close
Or I might die
Destroyed by your beautiful face
And don’t come too close come too close come too close
I’ll go insane
No mind has been created that can apprehend your grace


V2:
I seek answers in what I know you’re not
I’ve been caught red-handed stealing fire from the gods
I ask only to be more myself
When I delve into your love cause I’m sure I’m beyond all help
This strange alchemy that’s breaking me in the distillery of the light unseen
That’s cast by thee is leaving me in a newfound purity
Black and blue red and bleeding I am broken, unmade, unformed
White blinding flashes from the ashes I find myself reborn

Chorus

Bridge:

Just my luck to be awestruck try to say what I know but my words get stuck
Like I’ve been hit by a truck the sight of you leaves me downed
You’re a mystery so deep to the plumb the depths I would drown
A sound that echoes into the caverns of your being
My noetic vision can’t pierce this darkness so revealing
Concealing me for my own protection’s sake
Against a reality so profound it leaves me but a fake
My mistake, the closer I get the more real I become
But I’ve feared getting real since the time I was young
Overcome by the sight of an uncreated light
That I can’t yet see in this long and dark night
Of my soul I’d lose control but what I lose I gain
To be healed of my disease I must embrace the pain
Sounds insane in fact it’s the paradox of reality

But until the day I can stand it don’t come too close to me  

Chorus

Outro Verse:
I tremble when you speak my name
There is no containing all the thoughts I have of you
I ask only to be more myself
When I delve into your love cause I’m sure I’m beyond all help
This strange alchemy that’s breaking me in the distillery of the light unseen
That’s cast by thee is leaving me in a newfound purity
Black and blue red and bleeding I am broken, unmade, unformed
White blinding flashes from the ashes I find myself reborn


And of course, the link to the song: Mystery of You
