Her Face
Chasing Shadows: Quest for a Lost Love
Lyrics
It was a dangerous night
Describing a perilous night
A man came out of sight
A man appearing unexpectedly
He nearly took my life
Almost faced a life-threatening situation
But a girl saved me
A girl intervened and saved the narrator's life
From an untimely demise
Rescued from a premature death
She was
Introducing the girl as the dream girl
The girl of my dreams
Emphasizing the dream girl's significance
I have seen her before
Recalling a prior encounter with the dream girl
The love of my life
Referring to the dream girl as the love of the narrator's life
And there's just so many things
Expressing desire for various activities with the dream girl
I'd like to do with her tonight
Specifically desiring to spend the night with her
But there's one thing that
Mentioning a forgotten detail
I can't remember
Highlighting the forgotten detail
Its, Its
Repeated emphasis on the forgotten detail
Her face
The forgotten detail is revealed: "Her face"
Her face
-Her face
-Her face
-I remember everything else
Remembering other details about the dream girl
Red, brown hair
Describing physical features of the dream girl
Her red, greenish, bluish eyes
-I was hypnotized
Expressing being captivated by her
I was
Reiterating the hypnotic effect
Hypnotized
-Oh the girl in my dreams she
Recalling dreams where the girl appears
Comes to me
-And I just can't sleep
Being unable to sleep due to her mesmerizing presence
She's too mesmerizing
Continuing to describe the dream girl's allure
And I can't
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of being
And I won't
-Live like this
Desire to change the current situation
I want to see
Reiterating the strong desire to see her face
I need to see
-Her face
-Her face
-Her face
-Her face
-And I Know
Acknowledging the unfavorable timing
Time isn't right
Sensing the wrong time for a conflict
Time for a fight
Feeling the need for a fight
And I feel
Experiencing emotional pain
Feel my heart aching
Physical manifestation of heartache
All through the night
Emphasizing the enduring pain throughout the night
But her eyes
Describing a connection through eye contact
Interlock with mine
-I know its not my time
Acknowledging the wrong time and situation
I know its not right
-I know, I know, I know
Repeated acknowledgment of the challenging situation
Its getting tired now
Expressing weariness and hindsight
Should have known better by now
-I wake up alone, no calls
Waking up alone, missing the dream girl
I just need this girl I know
Expressing the importance of the dream girl
She's no good for me
Acknowledging the unhealthy nature of the relationship
I want this girl
-From my nightmares she comes
Describing the dream girl's disruptive presence in nightmares
She never lets me sleep
-I'm afraid of the night
Fear of the dream girl and the darkness associated with her
The darkness she creeps
-And I can't, And won't
Reiterating the desire for change in the current situation
Live like this
-I want to see
Expressing the strong need to see the dream girl's face
I need to see
-Her face
-Her face
-Her face
-Her face
-Her face
Final repetition of the intense desire to see "Her face"
