August
Chasing Shadows: Unraveling the Depths of August by Church Girls
Lyrics
Once I'm out of places to go
Expressing a sense of being directionless or having exhausted available options.
Untie all my heavy loads
Desiring to release oneself from burdens or responsibilities.
And come down like the full moon into the sea
Symbolizing a desire for a tranquil and complete immersion into something vast, like the sea.
Relive the days that swim in my head
Reflecting on past experiences that linger in the mind.
Write up words left unsaid
Expressing a need to articulate unspoken thoughts through writing.
And leave them in a bottle for some stranger to read
Symbolizing a desire to share one's inner thoughts with others, even strangers, through a metaphorical message in a bottle.
Got all your reasons prepped for decay
Acknowledging prepared justifications for a relationship's decline or deterioration.
I'm a thousand miles away
Emphasizing physical distance, possibly indicating emotional detachment.
And how things might have played out so differently
Contemplating alternate outcomes and paths that events could have taken.
We both know I've seen you come unwound
Acknowledging the partner's emotional struggles or vulnerabilities.
Has she seen you with your walls down?
Raising a question about whether someone else has witnessed the partner's emotional vulnerability.
Or do you want to keep it just surface deep?
Exploring the depth of the relationship, questioning whether it goes beyond surface appearances.
Tomorrow we could die
Contemplating mortality and the urgency of living authentically.
For once I'll let my thoughts come up
Willingness to open up emotionally and share inner thoughts.
You could fold your life into mine
Suggesting a desire for a deep, intertwined connection with the partner.
So turn on the porch light
Symbolic act of inviting someone into one's life by turning on a porch light.
We could shake off that August sun
Expressing a desire to escape the intensity of a summer month (August).
Tonight just fold your life into mine
Reiterating the desire for a profound connection and shared life experiences.
Yeah I can follow you around
Repetition of the idea of following someone, possibly signifying a pursuit or a desire to be close.
I can follow you around
-I can follow you around
-Yeah I can follow you around
Reiterating the willingness to follow and be with the partner.
