Velodrome Reflections: A Journey Through Windows and Declarations

Lyrics

Well I saw you looking out of a window

Observing someone gazing out of a window

In a cafe down by the velodrome

At a cafe near a velodrome

They spelled your name wrong on the

Incorrect spelling of the person's name on their birth certificate

Birth certificate

Emotional reaction to the error during the car ride back

You cried about it for the whole drive home

Continuation of the emotional response

And I saw you down at the demonstration

Witnessing the person at a demonstration without understanding its purpose

But I couldn't tell what it was about

Personal confusion about a declaration, leading to crossing out the name

I spelled my name wrong on the declaration

Reflecting on the positive feeling of the situation

Couldn't erase it so I crossed it out

Reiteration of the positive emotions


And didn't it feel so good

Expressing the goodness of the experience

Didn't it feel so good

Repeating the positive sentiment for emphasis


So I close my eyes and push all the air out

Engaging in a meditative or calming activity

Then I float up to the surface again

Describing a sensation of floating to the surface

I love the feeling of running in circles

Expressing enjoyment of the experience of running in circles

I am a slave to the curriculum

Feeling constrained or controlled by an established curriculum

Seems like everyone I know is in trouble

Observing that many people around are facing difficulties

Seems like everyone has nowhere to go

Noting a sense of directionlessness among people

The country lives on despite our frustration

Despite frustrations, the country continues to exist

Built a vibrator from a radio

Creating something innovative out of available resources


And didn't it feel so good

Reiteration of the positive feelings

Didn't it feel so good

Repeating the joyous sensation


Well I saw you looking into a window

Observing someone looking into a window again

There's a cool breeze at the top of my cage

Feeling a refreshing breeze at the top of personal confinement

I check my radar, it's all so exciting

Excitement about the radar, possibly metaphorical, and the challenge it presents

I'm losing contact but can't disengage

Experiencing difficulty maintaining contact but unable to disconnect
