Close Behind You
Chasing Shadows: Unveiling the Poetic Depths of 'Close Behind You' by Farewell Familiar
Lyrics
I couldn't help but notice
I noticed something
How deeply you breathe in
Observing how deeply you inhale
How quickly you give into the way you wanna be
You readily embrace your desired way of being
You taught me how
You showed me how
To care a little less about the imminent
To worry less about what's about to happen
It's happening
It's occurring
But in the end, I'll fear again
Ultimately, I'll feel fear once more
Cause you're heading down a road I can't go
Because you're moving in a direction I can't follow
Even though I'm better off
Even though it might be better for me
Not moving at all and just moving on
Choosing not to progress and simply letting go
I'm close behind you
I'm closely trailing behind you
I couldn't help but notice
I observed once more
That I've met you before
Realizing our paths have crossed previously
This is the part where we wake up and look for more
This is where we awaken and search for more
I came to know I didn't know much of anything
I discovered my lack of knowledge
Didn't think much of anything
I didn't consider much of anything
Didn't want much of anything
I didn't desire much of anything
But you're heading down a road I can't go
But you're going in a direction incompatible with mine
Even though I'm better off
Despite potential benefits for me
Not moving at all and just moving on
Opting to remain static and move forward
I'm close behind you
I'm closely following you
I'll fill your footsteps into mine
I'll mimic your steps
I'll make sure you can't get away
I'll ensure you can't escape
I'll steal the words right from your mouth
I'll take your words directly from your mouth
When I don't a have a thing to say
Even when I have nothing to say
Cause you're heading down a road I can't go
Because you're going where I can't
Even though I'm better off
Despite potential advantages for me
Not moving at all and just moving on
Choosing inertia over progress
I'm close behind you
I'm closely behind you
I'm close behind you
-I'm close behind you
