Pacing
Chasing Shadows: A Dance with Time and Patience
Lyrics
The paint listens
The paint is personified, implying that it is attentive or responsive.
To the stories that the walls tell
Walls are perceived as having stories, suggesting a history or memories.
Decaying night skies
Describes a night sky in decay, possibly reflecting a troubled or fading atmosphere.
So we waltzed until the sun fell
The speaker and someone else danced until sunrise, indicating a prolonged connection.
Dancing right beside you
The speaker is dancing closely with someone.
Over uneven paving
They are dancing on uneven paving, symbolizing life's challenges.
Your eyes wander to the sound of us wasting
The other person's attention is diverted, possibly wasting time.
You never heard how the story ends so you chased it
The person never heard the end of a story, and they are chasing its conclusion.
Hiding away from the moment where the birds send your mind racing
Avoiding a crucial moment, where thoughts race like birds in flight.
Time stands still yet I'm still changing
Despite time seeming static, the speaker experiences personal change.
You fell asleep as the morning came around
Transition from night to morning; one person falls asleep, while the speaker is still active.
I was pacing
The speaker is pacing, reflecting inner restlessness or anxiety.
All my reservations yet you still stay patient
Despite reservations, the other person remains patient and understanding.
You fell asleep as the morning came around
Similar to line 14, repeating the contrast between sleep and pacing.
I was pacing
Reiteration of the speaker's restless pacing in the morning.
All my reservations yet you still stay patient
Despite the speaker's doubts, the other person remains patient.
You fell asleep as the morning came around
Repeats the contrast between sleep and pacing, emphasizing the speaker's internal struggle.
I was pacing
Final repetition of the speaker's pacing, underscoring a persistent sense of unrest.
