Silhouette
Chasing Shadows: A Melodic Tale of Yearning and Decay
Lyrics
Oh God it's getting colder
Expressing a sense of increasing coldness, possibly metaphorical, in the situation or emotions.
But we've been getting bolder
Describing a growing sense of courage or daring in facing challenges.
And I sometimes forget to look behind me
Acknowledging a tendency to focus on the future and not looking back.
All I wanted was just one thing that wouldn't disappear
Desiring something stable or lasting that doesn't disappear, expressing a sense of longing or yearning.
Silhouettes in central time
Referring to silhouettes, possibly symbolizing memories or remnants in the past, particularly in the central time zone.
Yeah the price keeps getting steeper
Highlighting an increasing cost and decreasing value in some aspect of life or work.
And the work keeps getting cheaper
Noting a decrease in the quality of work and feeling physical effects, such as bones creaking.
And I can feel the bones they creak inside me
Referencing the absence of a promised spiritual presence, possibly indicating disappointment or disillusionment.
And the holy ghost we're promised never bothered to show up
Suggesting the non-appearance of the expected holy ghost and questioning its significance.
Or maybe we just missed the signs
Raising the possibility of missing important signs or cues in life.
The billboards softly burning in the last true city
Depicting billboards burning softly in what is described as the last true city, implying a sense of decay or decline.
And I return to the water
Returning to the water, possibly symbolizing a return to a source or origin.
I will acknowledge something missing
Acknowledging a sense of lacking or something missing in life.
But I checked every listing
Having searched thoroughly for what is missing, possibly without success.
Don't forget the part where we just die here
Emphasizing the inevitability of death, urging not to forget this reality.
Don't look at me like I fell off a running train
Rejecting judgment for being in a difficult situation, resisting the idea of growing up.
You know I just won't grow up
Expressing a reluctance to embrace maturity or conform to societal expectations.
I'll be waiting here like a fool forever
Waiting indefinitely, possibly for someone or something, described with a sense of foolishness.
So come and knock down the door
Inviting or challenging someone to come and make a significant change or impact.
There's something that I've known here
Recognizing a known truth or understanding in the current situation.
There's nothing that I own here
Stating a lack of possession or ownership in the present circumstances.
Will you think about me when I leave here?
Pondering whether others will remember or think about the speaker when they leave.
I sure as hell remember every little ounce of you
Expressing a strong and vivid memory of someone or something, possibly with emotional weight.
And I'm partial to the quiet life
Expressing a preference for a quiet or simple life.
I felt the ground outside and now I know what's coming
Having gained insight into what is coming or about to happen.
Can we just have another?
Expressing a desire for another experience or opportunity.
