Lyrics & Translation

[English]

MY NAME IS PATINA DELINSK

AND I WAS BORN BLIND.

GROWING UP BLIND; YOU WEREN'T EXPECT TO...

TO DO MUCH!

I WANT TO BE EXPECTED TO DO

WHATEVER EVERYBODY ELSE IS EXPECTED TO DO

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ATHLETICS

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE PART OF A TEAM.

THE ONLY MODIFICATION THAT'S BEEN MADE IS IN DEMONSTRATING

HOW TO DO IT.

[TRAINER] PUT YOUR KNEES BACK. MORE. MORE. MORE. MORE. MORE.

[PATINA] SO SHOWING ME EXACTLY WHAT THE MOVE LOOKS LIKE

INSTEAD OF DOING IT VISUALLY; I DO IT TACTILELY.

ITS DEFINITELY CLOSE.

HOW HIGH WOULD YOU SAY IT IS? LIKE TO YOU BODY AT LEAST?

-WAIST -OKAY. WAIST LEVEL.

SO I'M GOING FOR...

-TAKE A WILD STAB AT... -BENCH? TABLE?

YOU THINK ITS A BENCH?

AHH LIKELY

-WANNA SEE? I WANNA SEE. -OKAY

ITS NOT A MATTER OF ENJOYING IT MORE OR LESS.

ITS ABOUT ENJOYING IT DIFFERENTLY.

YOU KNOW, ITS ENJOYING IT...

THROUGH.... THROUGH DIFFERENT VISIONS

THROUGHT ANOTHER LENS
