White Whale
Chasing Lightning: Unveiling the Deep Meaning Behind 'White Whale'
Lyrics
My mind is on the bad things
Expressing a focus on negative thoughts or aspects.
Your mind is on the good things
Contrasting with line 1, the other person is focusing on positive things.
These shadows fall on all things
Noting that shadows (difficulties) are present in all aspects of life.
But your love, it is the lightning
Despite challenges, the love from the other person is powerful and illuminating like lightning.
And I need it
Expressing a strong desire or necessity for the mentioned love.
And I need it
-Your love is like the white whale
Metaphorically comparing the other person's love to the elusive white whale and acknowledging personal risk (third rail).
My finger's on the third rail
-I want you to be okay
Expressing a desire for well-being and harmony in the relationship.
I want us to be okay
-And I need it
Reiterating the strong need for the mentioned love.
Oh I need it
-Never tell me that we can't go further
Emphasizing a rejection of limitations and a determination to explore the relationship further.
Never tell me that we can't go further
-Never tell me that we can't go further
-Never tell me that we can't go further
-I want us to be okay, okay
Reaffirming the desire for the relationship to be okay.
Never tell me that we can't go further
Continuing the rejection of limitations and expressing determination.
Never tell me that we can't go further
-Never tell me that we can't go further
-Never tell me that we can't go further
-And I need it
Repeating the strong need for the mentioned love.
Oh I need it
