Chasing Darkness
Chasing Light: A Poetic Journey Through Love and Loss
Lyrics
We don't need to fight
We don't need to engage in conflict.
Wanna know you're safe and make things alright
Desire to ensure your safety and resolve things positively.
All we need is our youth
All we require is our youthful spirit.
To keep us satisfied with our truths
To remain content with our own personal truths.
What do you say we start over again?
Proposal to restart the relationship.
'Cause I have been nothing to you but a friend
Expressing a feeling of being only a friend so far.
Can we go back to the dawn of our better days
Nostalgic desire to return to better days.
When the light wasn't buried by all the haze
Referencing a time when clarity was not obscured.
Are we hanging upside down?
Questioning if the situation is reversed or chaotic.
Are you chasing darkness now?
Asking if one is now immersed in negativity.
Looking at you so confused
Expressing confusion while observing the other person.
Scratching my head how'd I end up alone and bruised?
Reflecting on being alone and hurt.
You're drinking the night away
Noting the other person's attempt to escape reality through drinking.
But we both know you're only trying to fill that space
Acknowledging the attempt to fill an emotional void.
I try to keep touch but your telephone's mute
Difficulty in communicating due to a silent phone.
Maybe this is nothing more than an endless pursuit
Suggesting the relationship might be a futile pursuit.
Can we go back to the dawn of our better days
Reiterating the desire to return to better times.
When the light wasn't buried by all the haze
Recalling a time when clarity was not obscured.
Are we hanging upside down?
Questioning the current state of affairs.
Are you chasing darkness now?
Asking if the other person is now embracing negativity.
They say boys should never cry
Reference to societal expectations about male emotions.
So I hold in my tears at night
Internalizing emotions by not crying as per societal norms.
They say boys should never cry
Repeating societal expectations about male emotions.
But I don't wanna say goodbye
Expressing a reluctance to part ways.
They say boys should never cry
Reiterating the societal expectation of suppressing emotions.
So I hold in my tears at night
Continuing to hold back tears.
They say boys should never cry
Repeating the societal norm against male crying.
But I don't wanna say goodbye
Expressing a desire to avoid saying goodbye.
Can we go back to the dawn of our better days
Yearning to return to a more positive past.
When the light wasn't buried by all the haze
Recalling a time when clarity was not obscured.
Are we hanging upside down?
Questioning the current state of affairs.
Are you chasing darkness now?
Asking if the other person is now embracing negativity.
Are we hanging upside down?
Repeating the question about the current state of affairs.
Are you chasing darkness now?
Repeating the question about embracing negativity.
