the swing by smallnice

"Swing or swinging may refer to many things" see Wikipedia e.g.

Wikipedia: "swing is a seat, often found at playgrounds for children, at a circus for acrobats, or on a porch for relaxing, although they may also be items of indoor furniture, such as the Latin American hammock or the Indian oonjal. The seat of a swing may be suspended from chains or ropes. Once a swing is in motion, it continues to oscillate like a pendulum until external interference or drag brings it to a halt. Swing sets are very popular with children."

Wikipedia: "In music, the term swing has two main uses. Colloquially, it is used to describe the propulsive quality or "feel" of a rhythm, especially when the music prompts a visceral response such as foot-tapping or head-nodding (see pulse). This sense can also be called "groove". The term swing, as well as swung note(s) and swung rhythm, [b] is also used more specifically to refer to a technique (most commonly associated with jazz[1] but also used in other genres) that involves alternately lengthening and shortening the first and second consecutive notes in the two part pulse-divisions in a beat."

Wikipedia: "An electoral swing analysis (or swing) shows the extent of change in voter support, typically from one election to another, expressed as a positive or negative percentage. A multi-party swing is an indicator of a change in the electorate's preference between candidates or parties, often between major parties in a two-party system. A swing can be calculated for the electorate as a whole, for a given electoral district or for a particular demographic. A swing is particularly useful for analysing change in voter support over time, or as a tool for predicting the outcome of elections in constituency-based systems. Swing is also usefully deployed when analysing the shift in voter intentions revealed by (political) opinion polls or to compare polls concisely which may rely on differing samples and on markedly different swings and therefore predict extraneous results.

lyrics

Swinging soft, swinging high – 

Looking up into the sky –

You push me – and I enjoy

Swinging high up to the sky – 

Over that playground I can fly

What if I – swing on that curve – 

What if I – had the nerve – 

What if I – fly high – 

And left that curve

Leaving you, I return – 

Pushed away, I learn – 

I trust you – you hold me firm

Flying high above the heads – 

Moving in circular spreads

What if I – swing on that curve – 

What if I – had the nerve – 

What if I – fly high – 

And left that curve

Just don’t stop, an’ push me higher – 

I’m a pilot, I’m a flier – 

If only you – would let me to –

Ruling my viewy domain – 

Swinging ‘round this short chain

What if I – swing on that curve – 

What if I – had the nerve – 

What if I – fly high – And left that curve

But I sense, there must be more – 

There are other games to adore – 

What if I let go on the peak – 

Letting go the safety chain – 

Like the runway for an airplane 

What if I – swing on that curve – 

What if I – had the nerve – 

What if I – fly high – And left that curve – 

Getting up I was in pain – 

I felt dizzy, lost my brain – 

What really counts, is how you land 

Letting go loosing control – 

Shit that hadn’t be my goal

What if I – swing on that curve – 

What if I – had the nerve – 

What if I – fly high – And left that curve –

Though I know how it feels – 

Breaking out still appeals –
