Orienteering
Navigating Life's Maze: Alex Lacorcia's Orienteering Journey
Lyrics
The vitiligo sky clouds my process of thought
The sky affected by vitiligo symbolizes a disturbance in clear thinking.
As I try to choose my life's one profession
The struggle to choose a life profession is central to the speaker's concerns.
The more I try the more I realise
Increasing effort reveals the desire to break free and express through music.
I'd love to leave this desk and sing guitar-backed confessions
The yearning to leave a conventional desk job for more authentic self-expression.
A life on the plains a patchwork paddock rolls
Imagery of a simple rural life seems appealing under the sunburnt shack.
Beneath my sunburnt shack it could be very endearing
The charm of a patchwork paddock beneath the shack is endearing.
I can't explain what I'd find in the carpet streets
The speaker cannot explain the allure of carpet streets while orienteering.
That line the park while I'm off orienteering
The speaker finds fascination in the streets while engaged in orienteering.
If I had four hands I'd count on all my fingers all the years
The speaker reflects on the years spent training for a decision.
I've spent in training for this hung indecision
An acknowledgment of indecision despite years of preparation.
But in searching for a picture in which I look even slightly photogenic
Searching for a photogenic image reveals a struggle with self-image.
I found there's no such thing as underthinking
The realization that there's no such thing as underthinking, implying complexity.
At least not for me
Personal acknowledgment that underthinking is not applicable, at least for the speaker.
I could fly planes if I overcame my fears of
The potential to overcome fears (of cramped rooms and open spaces) to achieve greater things.
Cramped rooms and wide-open clearings
Specific fears of cramped rooms and open clearings may hinder progress.
If all else fails at least I'll know my lack of direction rules out orienteering
Considering the lack of direction as a ruling out factor for orienteering.
