Unveiling the Park's Secrets: A Poetic Journey Through Daniel Striped Tiger's 'Slalom'
Lyrics
Down at the park was where I saw you.
Encountered you at the park.
In flowers, in blankets over brick homes.
Noticed you amidst flowers and blankets on brick homes.
Running your name through the reeds, I ask you:
Observing you as you contemplate, asking if you saw someone in the street.
Was it somebody you saw in the street?
Inquiring about a person you may have noticed outdoors.
Dead in the park was how I found you,
Discovered you lifeless in the park.
Among brick names were flower beds.
Surrounded by memorial bricks and flower beds.
Running your name through the reeds, I ask you:
Continuing to ask about the person you might have encountered in the street.
Was it someone that you met in the street?
Seeking information on someone you may have met outdoors.
(Let's realize our motion here:
Expressing the need to recognize the present moment.
The time is now.
Emphasizing the importance of the current time.
The windows glow blue).
Noting the blue glow of windows, possibly indicating a specific atmosphere.
And if a leg was broken
If a leg were broken, attributing blame to the pavement.
You'd somehow blame the pavement.
Highlighting a tendency to assign fault to external factors.
Pushing forth the waiting list.
Advancing in the queue, moving forward with life.
There's no more room for blackmail.
Rejecting the possibility of further manipulation or coercion.
I tried to stand up (I lost my balance).
Attempting to stand up, losing balance in the process.
I tried to stand up (I lost my balance and fell).
Repeating the attempt to stand up, experiencing a loss of balance and falling.
Fifteen times (Fifteen times).
Falling fifteen times, suggesting persistent struggles or setbacks.
They blasted holes through the clouds.
Describing the creation of openings or disruptions in the metaphorical clouds.
