Echoes of Solitude: Christina Shin's Daily Reflections
Lyrics
Walked the trail alone today
Walked alone on the trail today
Saw a squirrel run away
Observed a squirrel fleeing
"Hey, let's go together"
Expression of desire to accompany someone
Danced around in my room
Danced joyfully within my room
Saw myself in braids
Saw myself with braided hair
"Hey, let's dance together"
Expressing the wish to dance together
When I hear them sing
Imagining oneself performing when others sing
I picture myself on the stage
Fantasizing about being on stage
Then I open my eyes and
Transitioning from fantasy to reality; realization that nobody listens
No one's listening
Feeling unheard and unnoticed
Called my dad today
Attempted to contact father
No response for several days
Received no reply for an extended period
"Hey, what's going on"
Expressing concern about the lack of communication
And it's like this every day
Describing the repetitiveness of this experience daily
Not things just for today
Emphasizing that these are not momentary issues, but ongoing
Hey, it's daily
Highlighting the regularity and consistency of these occurrences
When I hear them sing
Reiteration of the fantasy of performing
I picture myself on the stage
Reimagining oneself on stage during singing
Then I open my eyes and
Returning to the realization that nobody pays attention
No one's listening
Emphasizing the consistent lack of audience
No one
Reiterating the absence of listeners
No one's listening
Repeating the statement about no one listening
No one
Continuing the assertion of lack of audience
No one's listening
Reaffirming the absence of listeners
No one
Restating the notion of no one paying attention
No one's listening
Reiteration of feeling unheard and unnoticed
