You have your copy yes, but the rights you had to it are gone. It's no longer "your" song, book, or painting. It eventually belongs to everyone.
A creative work is more than just the creation itself, it's also the bundle of associated rights. Those rights are taken away in time, if you publish. I think that's a good thing, eventually.
