Gazelle
Chasing Shadows: A Poetic Pursuit of Nature's Dance
Lyrics
I see gazelle and gazelle sees me
I observe a gazelle, and it observes me in return
I watch gazelle as he crosses the stream
I watch the gazelle as it crosses a stream
I hunt gazelle and gazelle fears me
I pursue the gazelle, and it is afraid of me
One day I'll catch him and feed my family
One day, I intend to catch the gazelle to provide for my family
Gazelle, I see you jump
Addressing the gazelle directly, acknowledging its movements
I see you dance across the field
Describing the graceful actions of the gazelle across a field
You could be my lunch
Suggesting the possibility of the gazelle becoming a meal
You could be an intimate lover or possible meal
The gazelle could be either a potential lover or a source of food
Gazelle, won't you stay for dinner?
Inviting the gazelle to stay for dinner, considering it a special guest
You are my special guest
Emphasizing the importance of the gazelle's presence
I won't take a no for an answer
Insisting that the gazelle must stay, rejecting a refusal
Gazelle, it's just a hunch
Expressing a feeling or suspicion about the gazelle
That you and I were never meant to be
Suggesting an incompatibility between the speaker and the gazelle
Your luscious crunchiness
Describing the appealing texture or quality of the gazelle
A taste I may never absorb
Expressing uncertainty about experiencing the taste of the gazelle
So it's back to the zebra, the yak, or hyena
Considering alternatives like zebra, yak, or hyena for a meal
Quietly I peek through the foliage
Observing the gazelle discreetly from behind foliage
And gaze upon a graceful gazelle
Appreciating the elegance of the gazelle
I try not to disturb him
Attempting not to disturb the gazelle
But my clumsiness just gives me away
Despite efforts, the speaker's clumsiness reveals their presence
He runs off in laughter
The gazelle reacts by running away with laughter
The gazelle I was after
Reflecting on the unsuccessful pursuit of the gazelle
Quietly I lost gazelle
Quietly acknowledging the loss of the gazelle
