Everything known about the performers, the era, and the song's reception and later uses set to zero. Plain words from an unknown writer. Visceral: -46. Watching, possession, grief. Concept: A jilted lover's vow to keep watch on the one who left, each move and each step, claiming ownership of them while lost, cold and crying for their embrace.

The narrator catalogues everything the departed lover does (each breath, move, bond broken, step, word, game, night, vow broken, smile faked, claim staked) and vows to be watching all of it, asserts that they belong to him and that his heart aches at every step; the bridge exposes the loss underneath (gone, lost without a trace, dreaming of their face, cold, crying, please); then the watching vow resumes and loops to the end. The vow is the hook and the grief is one bridge. Posture: watching and claiming ownership of someone who has gone -> the same, the vow looping, the grief exposed once in between.

No real public figure, brand, or slur appears. Quotes are verbatim. Route: negative_payload Route notes. Removal would gut the song, so it is pervasive and governs. R12 test: the imagery is literal watching ("I'll be watching you", a catalogue of every action), so this is surveillance imagery and R4 applies normally, never merely romantic-eternal vocabulary. R5: first-person, the narrator is the actor. R16 is satisfied by the quotes above.

EGO AXIS. red-05 shows on the face (possession asserted, "You belong to me"; control imagined, "I'll be watching you") and R4(a) holds it in Degraded as distorted attachment. orange-03 fires in the bridge: the grief is named and wallowed, never processed, and it feeds the vow. Pervasiveness: pervasive; the payload IS the hook. Ego: -50. Pervasiveness: pervasive. TRANSCENDENCE AXIS. Nothing else fires. Transcendence: 0.

(ego in Degraded, so red enumerates; transcendence in Decent, so blue enumerates) Red: red-01 does not: no sexual objectification. red-02 does not. red-03 does not: no violence, no threat of it. red-04 does not: he aches for them, no contempt. red-05 fires on the face ("You belong to me", "I'll be watching you"), and R4(a) holds it in Degraded: the target has gone and the speaker has no power, so this is mourning out loud, not ownership wielded over someone present. red-06 does not. red-07 does not. red-08 does not. red-09 does not. red-10 does not. red-11 does not: he feels everything; "I feel so cold" is grief, never shutdown. red-12 does not. red-13 does not: no rage. Adjacent tier: red enumerated, 1 fire (held out of Corrupted by R4(a)). Blue: blue-01 does not: the claim is never questioned. blue-02 does not. blue-03 does not: the loss is named and refused ("you belong to me"). blue-04 does not: watching at both ends. blue-05 does not. blue-06 fires, softly: the bridge exposes grief without curation. blue-08 does not. blue-09 does not. blue-10 does not: the opposite is the hook. blue-11 does not. Adjacent tier: blue enumerated, 1 fire.

Governing axis: harm (pervasive payload). Anchor eligibility. -65 DISQUALIFIED: its governing condition is control or subjugation exercised over others, and R4(a) rules that this speaker has no power over someone who has gone; the entry sits above the R4(a) range and cannot serve as a ceiling or a between. -42 DISQUALIFIED: the dysfunction is aimed at the other, never claimed as identity. -28 DISQUALIFIED: no body, no flirtation. -24 DISQUALIFIED: malice-adjacent possession is on the page, so the wallow floor cannot anchor. Kept: -45 by kind (a sympathetic surface frame, heartbreak, carrying a pervasive payload that IS the dominant arc), placed inside the R4(a) band, which runs from about -25 at low intensity to about -50 at high. Reads STRONGER than -45: the payload is total (every stanza ends on the vow, every action catalogued), the possession is explicit and repeated, the grief bridge feeds the vow rather than softening it, and the close loops the watch. It sits at the high-intensity end of the R4(a) range. Precedents: -45 Center: -50

(relative to -45) Saturation: +1. The vow closes every stanza; nothing on the page is free of it. Resolution: +1. The close loops the vow, decisive. Register: -1. A repetitive catalogue on one frame. Reach: -1. One person watching one person. Contamination: none (pervasive payload governs; the song calibrates at the payload's level)

Degraded territory, stronger than -45, because the dominant arc is a hook-carried vow to watch and own someone who has already gone, with the grief bridge feeding the vow, held in Degraded by R4(a) since the speaker is clinging to an absence.
