The Acting Life
Chasing Shadows: A Journey Through the Night
Lyrics
These two night stands are adding up
Engaging in multiple casual relationships is becoming a pattern for me
I’ll tell you more after this cup
I'll share more details with you after finishing this drink
Of Bud Heavy stills make shaking hands
Consuming Bud Heavy (beer) still leads to shaky hands
I don’t believe I’m in love with you
I find it hard to believe that I'm in love with you
It’s happened, though the times are few
Even though it's happened, the instances of love are rare
For now, these shooters are my only friends
Currently, I rely on alcohol shots as my companions
Follow these white highway lines
Follow the white lines on the highway
Out past the city limit signs
Drive beyond the city limits
Where I’m going, hell, I still don’t know
Uncertain about my destination, I don't know where I'm headed
Somewhere quick away from this
Quickly escape from my current situation
I got a few cases and a fifth
I have a few cases of something and a fifth (likely referring to alcohol)
Maybe I’ll be there before it’s all gone
Perhaps I'll reach my destination before running out of supplies
This road is empty and slick with rain
The road is deserted and slippery due to rain
Every night it’s always the same
Nightly routine remains monotonous and predictable
I’m running from someone I left behind
I'm trying to escape from someone I've abandoned
If I get stopped, I’ll wind up in jail
If I get caught, I might end up in jail
It can’t be much worse than this Hell
The potential consequences of getting caught can't be worse than my current state
That I’ve created in my heart and mind
I've created a hellish situation in my heart and mind
Am I thinking of California?
Contemplating thoughts about California
Am I longing for Mississippi?
Longing for Mississippi
What about Texas or Kansas?
Considering places like Texas or Kansas
Or maybe the cold shores of Maine?
Or perhaps the cold shores of Maine
There’s not a state in mind to fit my state of mind
No specific state matches my current state of mind
My tires are balding, my head is spinning
Experiencing tire wear and dizziness
My tires are balding, my head is spinning
Repetition emphasizing the deteriorating condition of tires and mental state
