The View From My Tank
A Watery World: Embracing Life's Circles in 'The View From My Tank'
Lyrics
I swim around a room with no walls
I navigate through a space without physical boundaries.
Everyday I come around the same full circle
Each day, I go through a repetitive cycle or routine.
They tap on the glass, smile and laugh
People observe me, tapping on the metaphorical glass, expressing joy.
I feel so small and so purple
I feel insignificant and possibly emotionally vulnerable.
My rocks and my plants
I have possessions like rocks and plants.
My hate and romance
My emotions encompass both hatred and romantic feelings.
Don't care what she says but I'd kick the bucket if I had legs
Despite not caring about someone's opinion, I would take drastic actions if I could.
Living in a bowl
My existence is confined within a limited space, akin to living in a bowl.
Feeling like I should have known
I experience a sense of regret or missed understanding.
A waiting room mascot
I am like a mascot in a waiting room, symbolizing a sense of anticipation.
But I got everything I want
Despite limitations, I possess everything I desire.
In and out of my castle
I move in and out of my personal space, akin to a castle.
It's all brand new to me
Everything around me feels new and unfamiliar.
I can't remember how I feel so I live happily
Due to forgetfulness, I live in a state of contentment.
I make new friends everyday, the old ones never stay
I form new connections regularly, but old ones don't endure.
Surrounded by the water I breathe, why would I want to leave?
Surrounded by my environment, I find no reason to leave.
My rocks and my plants
I have possessions like rocks and plants (repeated).
My hate and romance
My emotions encompass both hatred and romantic feelings (repeated).
Don't care what she says but I'd kick the bucket if I had legs
Despite not caring about someone's opinion, I would take drastic actions if I could (repeated).

My existence is confined within a limited space, akin to living in a bowl (repeated).
Feeling like I should have known
I experience a sense of regret or missed understanding (repeated).
A waiting room mascot
I am like a mascot in a waiting room, symbolizing a sense of anticipation (repeated).
But I got everything I want
Despite limitations, I possess everything I desire (repeated).

A waiting room mascot
I am like a mascot in a waiting room, symbolizing a sense of anticipation (repeated).
But I got everything I want
Despite limitations, I possess everything I desire (repeated).
Bring me to the predator that preys
I seek confrontation with a predator, possibly to create a spectacle.
On me so I can make his day
I want to be in an exposed situation, struggling for others' entertainment.
Put me in an open field and stay
Place me in an open space to witness my difficulties and suffocation.
To watch me struggle and suffocate
The desire for others to observe my challenges and distress.
