Slowly Unfold
Unveiling Unseen Stories: Flo Perlin's Canvas of Life
Lyrics
She painted brown
She expressed herself through the color brown.
She painted blue and green, she painted pictures of her family that were never seen
Using blue and green, she created artwork depicting her family, which remained unseen.
Ohhh when she passed nineteen
At the age of nineteen, something significant happened in her life.
She painted brown
She continued to use the color brown in her art.
She painted blue and gold, she painted pictures of the stories that were never told
Now incorporating blue and gold, she painted stories that were never shared.
Ohhhh they would slowly unfold
These untold stories would gradually unfold.
Oh eh oh oh oh they would slowly unfold
Reiteration of the gradual unfolding of stories.
Oh oh oh oh they would slowly un
The process of revealing these stories would happen slowly.
She took her time
She took her time with her creative process.
She stayed up late at night, she had her fathers hands she wrote
Staying up late, she inherited her father's hands, and she wrote to understand.
So she could understand
Despite her efforts, true understanding might elude her.
Ohhh well she'd never really know
There's a sense of ambiguity or uncertainty in her understanding.
She swam away
She moved away or distanced herself from something.
She's learning front crawl in the day, she had her mothers knees
Learning to swim during the day, she inherited her mother's knees and didn't seek approval.
She never really cared to please
She didn't feel the need to please others.
Ohhh, she would slowly unfold
Similar to the earlier reference, her life story would gradually unfold.
Oh eh oh oh oh she would slowly unfold
Repetition emphasizing the gradual unfolding of her life.
Oh eh oh oh oh she would slowly unfold
Continuation of the theme of slow revelation in her life.
Oh oh oh oh she would slowly unfold
Expressing the gradual unfolding of her life story.
Oh oh oh oh she would slowly unfold
Reiteration of the gradual nature of her life's revelations.
Oh oh oh oh she would slowly un
The process of revelation would happen slowly.
She painted brown
Using the color brown again in her art.
She painted blue and green she painted pictures of her family that were never seen
Repetition of creating unseen family depictions using blue and green.
Ohhh when she passed nineteen
A reflection on her life when she passed the age of nineteen.
