Running In Circles
Chasing Shadows: A Tale of Lost Time and Heartache
Lyrics
Wasting my life away
Expressing a sense of wasting one's life.
Staying inside all day
Remaining indoors throughout the day.
Staring outside my window
Observing the outside world through a window.
I swear, wasting my life away
Reiterating the feeling of wasting life.
Oh, but that's the same old story, that I tell myself
Acknowledging a recurring narrative or excuse.
And I've been telling it now for so long
Continuing a self-deceptive story for an extended period.
I'm losing touch
Feeling disconnected or estranged.
I should have known as much
Regret for not realizing a situation earlier.
For the longest time I never heard you speak
Reflecting on a past lack of communication.
And now I'm running in a field of broken glass and heartache
Metaphorically running through challenges and emotional pain.
Oh yeah
Affirmation of the challenging experience.
Running in circles, chasing my own tail
Engaging in repetitive, unproductive behavior.
Oh yeah
Continuing the cycle of unfulfilling actions.
Pacing around my room
Restlessly moving within one's personal space.
Sleeping my way through June
Passing time without a clear purpose.
Microwave TV dinner, baby
Depicting a mundane, routine lifestyle.
I'm wasting my life away
Reiterating the sense of wasting life.
Oh, but that's the same old story, that I tell myself
Acknowledging the repetitiveness of self-deception.
And I've been telling it now for so long
Persisting in a familiar but unproductive narrative.
I'm losing touch
Reinforcing the theme of disconnection.
I should have known as much
Regret for not recognizing the situation earlier.
For the longest time I never heard you speak
Recalling a past lack of communication.
And now I'm running in a field of broken glass and heartache
Metaphorically navigating through difficulties and heartbreak.
Oh yeah
Affirming the experience of facing challenges.
Running in circles chasing my own tail
Engaging in repetitive, unproductive behavior.
Oh yeah
Repeating the cycle of unfulfilling actions.
Shut the door, sleep to death, fake a smile, fix your hair
Listing various actions to cope or conform to societal norms.
Clean your room, get a date, lose some weight, write a song
Emphasizing the pressure to conform and meet expectations.
I'm losing touch
Reiterating the theme of disconnection.
I should have known as much
Regret for not realizing the situation earlier.
For the longest time I didn't make a peep
Reflecting on a period of silence or inaction.
And now I'm running in a field of broken glass and heartache
Metaphorically navigating through challenges and heartbreak.
Oh yeah
Affirmation of the experience of facing challenges.
Running in circles chasing my own tail
Engaging in repetitive, unproductive behavior.
Oh yeah, aaawooooooooooo
Expressing emotions with a howling sound.
Running in circles
Continuing the cycle of unfulfilling actions.
Running in circles
Repeating the theme of circular, unproductive behavior.
I'm Running, I'm running,
Emphasizing the act of running in circles.
I'm running, I'm running,
Reiterating the theme of continuous, unfulfilling actions.
I'm running in circles
Expressing the circular nature of the singer's experience.
OooOoOOOoooOOoo
Utilizing vocalizations to convey emotional intensity.
