Elevator Show
Unspoken Emotions: Julie Doiron's Elevator Show Revelations
Lyrics
Went to see you play for the first time
Expressing attendance at a live performance for the first time.
What a time
Reflecting on the experience with the phrase "What a time."
People looked at me and I think
Noticing that others in the audience observed the speaker.
They wondered why
Suspecting that people were curious about the speaker's presence.
That I was not up there
Acknowledging not being on stage with the performer.
I was not up there
Reiterating the absence from the stage.
With you
Expressing a desire to be on stage with the performer.
I watch and listen for the first time
Observing and listening to the performance for the first time.
I was kind of sad
Feeling a sense of sadness during the initial part of the performance.
After you played a while I realized
Realizing a shift in emotions to gladness after some time.
I was kind of glad
Experiencing a positive change in emotions.
That I was not up there
Reiterating the absence from the stage and the unfairness of being there.
It would not be fair
Emphasizing that being on stage would not be fair to the performer.
To you
Reaffirming the sentiment of fairness to the performer.
And you did real well you did real well together
Commending the performance and expressing unity.
We did well together
Highlighting the success of the collaboration.
But not forever
Recognizing the impermanence of the collaboration.
I was kind of scared of how I feel
Expressing fear about emotions upon reaching a certain place.
When I got there
Describing an emotional state upon arrival.
Might have thought that you were wrong
Suggesting a possible misconception or misjudgment by others.
I was scared
Confirming a feeling of fear in that situation.
Cause I was not up there
Reiterating the absence from the stage.
I was not up there
Affirming the speaker's non-participation on stage.
With you
Expressing a desire to be on stage with the performer.
And you did real well you did real well together
Commending the performance and expressing unity.
We did well together
Highlighting the success of the collaboration.
But not forever
Acknowledging the temporary nature of the collaboration.
