Fairytale
Chasing Dreams: Unraveling the Fairytale of Longing and Letting Go
Lyrics
As I sit and stare for hours
Contemplating and observing for an extended period
Knowin' there won't be no flowers
Acknowledging the absence of positive outcomes or gestures
From you
Anticipating affection or appreciation from a specific person
Still I'm dreamin' bout you
Despite reality, persistently envisioning or desiring the person
Imagine I'm there next to you
Mentally placing oneself in close proximity to the person
During the day
Engaging in daydreams during waking hours
I can't help but play
Compelled to replay memories of a shared song
What was our song
Reflecting on the significance of a shared song
I fantasize about
Creating imaginative scenarios about desired communication
What I wanted you to say
Fantasizing about the preferred words from the person
I can't get you outta my head
Experiencing difficulty in forgetting or moving on
The more that I try you keep sinkin' in
Efforts to forget are in vain; memories persist
Your love seems more like a myth to me
Perceiving love as elusive or unreal
Chasin' after you is like a fairytale
Pursuing the person feels like an unreal, story-like quest
Waitin' for the day that I let down my hair
Awaiting a moment of vulnerability or openness
Hopin' that my prince will come to save my life
Desiring rescue or intervention in one's life
Waitin' for you to be mine
Longing for the person to become romantically involved
Mine
Repeated emphasis on possession or relationship status
Mine
-Mine
-There I go again
Repeating a cycle of recognizing the person as imaginary
Knowin' you're just pretend
Acknowledging the person's non-existence in reality
The picture is painted, it's finally clear
Realizing the truth; distinguishing reality from fantasy
(Finally clear)
Reiteration of clarity in understanding the situation
I'm the real princess, you're the musketeer
Asserting one's true identity and the other's role as a fantasy
(The musketeer)
Emphasizing the fantastical nature of the other person
Your armor was shining, your clothes were divine
Describing the allure of the person's appearance
Glad you're no longer in my storyline
Expressing relief at the person's departure from the narrative
And as I look upon your face
Reflecting on the impact of seeing the person's face
A thousand dreams just drift away
Many aspirations fading away upon closer examination
This picture clear that's in my mind
The vivid mental image losing clarity over time
Is lost within the space of time
Loss of a clear mental image within the passage of time
Still can't get you outta my head
Continued struggle to forget or move past the person
The more that I try you keep sinkin' in
Persistent intrusion of memories despite efforts to resist
Your love is now just a mystery
Transformation of love into an enigmatic and puzzling emotion
Chasin' after you is like a fairytale
Pursuing the person remains akin to chasing an unreal story
Waitin' for the day that I let down my hair
Awaiting a moment of emotional vulnerability
Hopin' that my prince will come to save my life
Hoping for a savior to enter one's life romantically
Waitin' for you to be mine
Desiring the person to become romantically involved
Mine
Repeated emphasis on possession or relationship status
Mine
-Mine
-There I go again
Repeating the cycle of recognizing the person as imaginary
Knowin' you're just pretend
Acknowledging the person's non-existence in reality
Chasin'
Expressing the act of pursuing
You got me chasin'
Repetition of the theme of pursuing the person
Chasin'
-Chasin' after you
-Chasin'
-You got me, you got me yeah
-Chasin'
-Chasin'
-You got me chasin'
-Chasin' after you
-Chasin'
-You got me, you got me yeah
