Chase That Song
Chase That Song: Unraveling the Rebel Soul in Cody Jinks' Lyrics
Lyrics
I'm an eighteen wheeler with a throttle pin down
Describing oneself as an unstoppable force, moving swiftly through
And a brake line cut just a screaming through your town
Continuing the description of moving relentlessly, without brakes, through a town
Well I'm a runaway ghost train
Metaphorically likening oneself to a runaway train
With no way left to stop
Expressing an inability to halt or control
Well I'm a nightmare that comes from your California dreamin'
Being a nightmarish presence disrupting idealistic dreams
With your bloodshot eyes thinkin' nothin's what it seems
Creating distrust with bloodshot eyes, questioning reality
I'm a Bradbury story spreadin' like a fire from hell
Comparing oneself to a story by Ray Bradbury, spreading like wildfire
No I never met a lesson I didn't learn well
Asserting a mastery in learning from experiences
I get wound up and found up in places you'll never see
Existing in places beyond normal sight
I was born to be a God fearin' song singin'
Being inherently religious and musically inclined
Good timin' son of a son of an SOB
Claiming a fun-loving, rebellious heritage
I never set out to hurt anybody you'll see
Stating no intent to harm others
I just set out to chase that song that's chasin' me
Desiring to pursue the song that drives one forward
Well I'm a late night thunder tryin' to raise the dead
Describing oneself as a late-night force attempting to stir things up
Well I'm a pound and the haze of your whiskey trippin' head
Symbolizing a presence in the haze of intoxication
Well I'm the cough in your first smoke, go on and load that gun
Associating with the initial experiences of certain actions
I'm a thirteen squared, I'm a thirteen twice
Emphasizing an unlucky, jinx-like nature
Just a black cat walking on thin black ice
Continuing the theme of bad luck in a precarious situation
I'm a jinx Lord, I can't help it I was born half bad
Acknowledging a tendency towards misfortune
Some times I can't remember they're the best I've had
Remembering some of the best experiences despite the challenges
I get wound up and found up in places you'll never see
Reiteration of existing in unseen places
I was born to be a God fearin' song singin'
Reaffirming a deeply religious and musical identity
Good timin' son of a son of an S-O-B
Reiterating the rebellious, carefree lineage
I never set out to hurt anybody you'll see
Reiterating a lack of intent to cause harm
I just set out to chase that song that's chasin' me
Persistently seeking the elusive song driving one's life
I get wound up and found up in places you'll never see
Being present in hidden or unconventional places
I was born to be a God fearin' song singin'
Reasserting a religious and musical foundation
Good timin' son of a son of an S-O-B
Restating the carefree, rebellious background
I never set out to hurt anybody you'll see
Stating a lack of intention to cause harm
I just set out to chase that song that's chasin' me
Continuing the pursuit of the driving song
I set out to chase that song
Emphasizing the pursuit of the song
Out to chase that song
Repeating the resolve to chase the song
I set out to chase that song that's chasin' me
Reiterating the pursuit of the song that influences one's life
