Chasing After Wind
Whispers of Lost Love: Evan Flick's Chasing After Wind Revelations
Lyrics
I've been lonesome and awake
The speaker has been feeling lonely and unable to sleep.
Since you played with my hearts fate
Since someone toyed with the speaker's romantic destiny or emotions.
I placed on you all of my worries
The speaker entrusted all their concerns and anxieties to the person mentioned.
I know it was too much for you honey
Realizing that the burdens placed on the other person might have been overwhelming.
Did you see me yesterday
The speaker wonders if the person noticed them on a recent day.
I tried to wave and then say hey
The speaker attempted to greet and communicate but faced emotional difficulty.
But I got choked up when you looked my way
Expressing difficulty in speaking or expressing emotions when the person looked back.
Cuz you seemed just so happy without me
Feeling a sense of loss as the person appears content and happy without the speaker.
I've been chasing after wind
Expressing a continuous pursuit of something intangible or elusive.
I find that I can never win
Realizing that the speaker is unable to achieve success or satisfaction in this pursuit.
In my search, I've found only grinning
In the search for meaning, the speaker encounters only false happiness or superficial joy.
Laughing when they see that I'm not winning
Others find amusement or happiness in the speaker's lack of success.
I ran east when I should go west
Metaphorically, making a wrong decision or heading in the wrong direction.
I thought that I knew what was best
Believing in a misguided notion of what is best, leading to unfavorable consequences.
West is a land that's called Eden
Describing the west as an idealized place (Eden) or a better opportunity.
Now I'm damned in the east with all my sin
Being in a regrettable or sinful situation in the east, contrasting with the perceived Eden in the west.
I've been chasing after wind
Continuing the metaphor of pursuing something unattainable or fleeting.
