Vectors
Unveiling Self-Discovery: Vectors by Carmen Canedo
Lyrics
Maybe I took a picture
Reflecting on capturing a moment in time through a photograph
Of my name written on the ground
Depicting the act of finding one's name inscribed on the ground
Spelled out by tiny hands with chalk in them
Describing the writing of the name with chalk in small hands
They're out running now
Suggesting that those hands are now engaged in activities
Maybe I know my own name
Expressing self-awareness and recognition of one's own identity
I can discern it from the crowd
Being able to distinguish oneself in a crowd
Pick out surroundings of mine to leave behind
Choosing specific aspects of one's surroundings to leave behind
Before I'm found
Anticipating discovery or recognition by others
It will change even more
Expecting significant personal change beyond previous expectations
Than I ever thought before
Acknowledging the extent of anticipated change
No more legacy
Acceptance of the absence of a lasting legacy
For the person that is me
Recognition that personal identity lacks a lasting impact
Took awhile
Emphasizing the time taken to realize this absence
Took awhile
Reiteration of the prolonged realization process
Took awhile to see
Highlighting the time needed to comprehend the situation
But I see
Affirmation of understanding the situation now
I am no greater
Expressing humility, stating equality with the air breathed
Than the air that I breathe
Comparing oneself to the essential nature of air
Took awhile
Reiterating the time taken to realize this humility
Took awhile
Reaffirming the extended realization process
Took awhile to see
Emphasizing the duration to comprehend one's humility
But I see
Confirmation of understanding the humility now
It will change even more
Repeating the expectation of significant personal change
Than I ever thought before
Reiterating the acknowledgement of the extent of anticipated change
Maybe I took a picture
Recalling the act of photographing one's name on the ground
Of my name written on the ground
Revisiting the discovery of the written name on the ground
Spelled out by tiny hands with chalk in them
Describing the initial act of writing the name with chalk
They're out running now
Suggesting that the hands involved are now active or moving
Maybe I know my own name
Reaffirming self-awareness and identity recognition
I can discern it from the crowd
Reiterating the ability to stand out in a crowd
Pick out surroundings of mine to leave behind
Choosing specific aspects of one's surroundings to be remembered
Before I'm found
Anticipating the eventuality of being discovered or recognized
No more legacy
Restating the acceptance of the absence of a lasting legacy
For the person that is me
Reaffirming the acknowledgment that personal identity lacks lasting impact
Took awhile
Emphasizing the time taken to realize this absence
Took awhile
Reiteration of the prolonged realization process
Took awhile to see
Highlighting the time needed to comprehend the situation
But I see
Affirmation of understanding the situation now
I am no greater
Expressing humility, stating equality with the air breathed
Than the air that I breathe
Comparing oneself to the essential nature of air
Took awhile
Reiterating the time taken to realize this humility
Took awhile
Reaffirming the extended realization process
Took awhile to see
Emphasizing the duration to comprehend one's humility
But I see
Confirmation of understanding the humility now
