Kiddie Pool
Navigating Life's Depths: Gavin Maguda's 'Kiddie Pool' Metaphor
Lyrics
Swimming fine in the ocean but drowning in a kiddie pool
Feeling competent in a challenging situation but struggling in a trivial one.
Struggling to keep afloat while trying to keep my cool
Finding it hard to stay afloat while maintaining composure.
Waving arms and kicking feet but it all seems so minuscule
Putting effort into something seemingly insignificant.
No way out or in like I'm trapped inside a vestibule
Feeling trapped with no clear way in or out.
So you say to yourself
Reflecting on the situation.
Sit down
Suggesting a moment of reflection and self-awareness.
Listen to your body kid
Encouraging self-awareness and attention to one's body.
Deep breath you got this
Positive reinforcement and self-encouragement.
Reel it in
Bring your emotions under control.
Don't look now
Advising against anticipating difficulties.
Here it comes you feel it again
Feeling a familiar sensation.
Not another round
Expressing reluctance to face another challenge.
When will it end?
Questioning when the difficult situation will cease.
A volcano ready to burst like it did before
Metaphorically describing intense emotions or problems.
It is churning and bubbling rising once more
-Molten rock is coming up from the earth's core
-Leaving ash in its path it is too much to ignore
-So you say to yourself
Repetition of the internal dialogue, emphasizing the struggle with recurring challenges.
Sit down
-Listen to your body kid
-Deep breath you got this
-Reel it in
-Don't look now
-Here it comes you feel it again
-Not another round
-When will it end?
-Sit down
-Listen to your body kid
-Deep breath you got this
-Reel it in
-Don't look now
-Here it comes you feel it again
-Not another round
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
Intensifying the repetition, underscoring the desperation for the challenges to end.
When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
-When will it end?
