Hi! Is it okay for some song lyrics to describe actions that are considered to be happening at the moment using present simple? For example, Judas Priest - Love Bites:
"When you feel safe
When you feel warm
That's when I rise
That's when I crawl
Gliding on mist
Hardly a sound
Bring the kiss
Evils abound
....
Into your room
Where in deep sleep
There you lie still
To you I creep
Then I descend
Close to your lips
Across you I bend
You smile as I sip
Now you are mine
In my control
One taste of your life
And I own your soul
Softly you stir(???)
Gently you moan(???)
Lust's in the air
Wake as I groan"
...
Another thing that seems strange to me is here
Dokken - Into The Fire
"You weave your spell, your eyes they beckon me
Your lips they speak, lies and misery
I know it's wrong, but I can't turn away
The flames draw near, they're telling(???) me to stay"
'Your lips speak', but 'the flames are telling' - could anyone please clear this up?
Response from native speakers is more preferable.
Thank you
