Parallel Life
Embracing Possibilities: Alice Peacock's Parallel Life
Lyrics
In my parallel life I would be a painter
In an alternate reality, the singer imagines being a painter.
Color and light would be all I see
The artist envisions a world where colors and light dominate their perception.
In my parallel life I'd live in the mountains
In this parallel life, the singer would reside in the mountains.
And spend all my summers down by the sea
Summers would be spent by the sea in this imagined existence.
In my parallel life I would take up dancing
The singer dreams of taking up dancing in this alternative reality.
I'd be so graceful out on the floor
In the parallel life, the artist envisions being graceful on the dance floor.
In my parallel life I'd do all these things and more - for sure
The singer desires to do all these things and more in their alternate life.
'Cuz in my parallel life
Expressing the idea that in this parallel life, the singer has more possibilities.
I can reach for the stars
The singer believes they can strive for ambitious goals in this alternate reality.
I can be what I want
Implies the freedom to be whatever the singer desires in the parallel life.
I can be where you are
The singer can be close to someone they care about in this imagined existence.
In my parallel life I could pick the phone up
The singer envisions confidently making a call in the parallel life.
I'd make you laugh with my repartee
The parallel life lacks the courage to express feelings, as contrasted with the idealized scenario.
In my parallel life I would have the courage
The singer wishes for bravery in their alternate life.
But I just don't know what to say
Despite the desire, the singer struggles to find the right words.
But parallel lines never meet
An observation that parallel lines, symbolizing different paths, never intersect.
So there I was walking down your street
The singer reflects on being near someone but unable to connect due to separate paths.
I rang your bell but I ran away
A moment of hesitance and avoidance when faced with the opportunity to connect.
In my parallel life I could solve this mystery
The singer fantasizes about solving problems with the finesse of a mystery solver like Agatha Christie.
Like Agatha Christie I'd have a clue
In the parallel life, the singer imagines having the confidence and knowledge to handle challenges.
In my parallel life I would act exactly like someone who knows what to do
The artist wishes to portray an image of confidence and competence in the alternate reality.
