Whale Sharks
Swimming with Change: Takykardia's Ode to Transformation
Lyrics
I've lost weight
I have experienced a decrease in body weight.
I've gained my self-esteem
I have regained confidence in myself.
I've toned my tiny booty
I have worked on improving the appearance of my buttocks.
so you'll maybe see it
These efforts are made so that others may take notice.
With whale sharks I swim
I engage in activities involving whale sharks.
so you'll notice me
This engagement is to gain attention.
like you notice the ocean
Similar to noticing the vastness of the ocean, the aim is to be noticed.
With whale sharks I swim
Continuing to involve myself with whale sharks for the purpose of being noticed.
so you'll notice me
Similar to the preceding line, seeking attention through this activity.
like you notice the oceans will change
Associating personal changes with the inevitable changes in the oceans, perhaps symbolizing broader transformations.
I've changed my preferences
I have altered my preferences, possibly in lifestyle or choices.
in what I like to eat
Changes extend to dietary preferences.
I've stopped spending all my gold
I no longer spend extravagantly on unnecessary items.
on dresses I don't need
Specifically, refraining from spending on unnecessary dresses.
With whale sharks I swim
Engaging with whale sharks for attention, mirroring previous lines.
so you'll notice me
Seeking attention similar to noticing the vastness of the ocean.
like you notice the ocean
Repetition of the desire for attention through interaction with whale sharks.
With whale sharks I swim
Parallel to the earlier lines, using whale shark interactions to be noticed.
so you'll notice me
Reiteration of seeking attention through engagement with whale sharks.
like you notice the oceans will change,
Connecting personal changes to the anticipated changes in the oceans.
will change
Emphasizing the inevitability of change.
With whale sharks I swim
Continued involvement with whale sharks for the purpose of gaining attention.
so you'll notice me
Repeating the desire for notice through interactions with whale sharks.
like you notice the oceans
Drawing a parallel between seeking attention and noticing the vastness of the oceans.
With whale sharks I swim
Reiterating the intention to be noticed through engagement with whale sharks.
