Seeking Solace
Chasing Shadows: A Journey Through Decades
Lyrics
Clownfish swimming in a glass box
Metaphorical representation of constrained and limited life, like clownfish in captivity.
Neon coming through the window
Symbolizes artificial and vibrant elements intruding into the personal space.
Memory hanging from a thumbtack
Recollection or remnants of the past held in place but not prominent.
Nothing on the radio
Emphasis on a lack of meaningful content or connection in mainstream media.
Glass jar on the table
A visible containment, possibly holding memories or emotions.
Moonshine in the air
Intoxication or altered state in the atmosphere, contributing to a surreal experience.
Big storm in the forecast
Foreboding of a significant challenge ahead, possibly life's struggles.
No one really cares
Indifference or apathy from others towards impending difficulties.
And lately I'm just trying
An acknowledgment of personal challenges and the effort to endure.
trying to survive
Expresses the intense struggle for survival.
Running on cocaine and the will to be alive
Dependence on stimulants as a coping mechanism for survival.
Tripping over dollars to find pennies
Engaging in futile efforts to amass wealth, despite the real need being minimal.
So I can go get high
Using acquired resources for self-destructive habits, like substance abuse.
Seeking solace in a substance
Searching for comfort or relief in substances amid the passing of time.
As the decade passes by
Highlighting a prolonged period, suggesting a decade of persistent struggles.
Clownfish swimming in the ocean
Shifting the metaphor to freedom but still within constraints.
Moonlight paints the air
Depicting a serene and beautiful scene, contrasting with the prior confinement.
Old man sipping on a night cap
An elderly figure in contemplation, possibly representing wisdom or experience.
With a stoic stare
A solemn and unwavering gaze, indicating resilience or acceptance.
And lately I'm just trying
Reiteration of personal struggle for survival in the face of challenges.
trying to survive
Emphasizing the ongoing battle for life against adversity.
Running on cocaine and the will to be alive
Continued reliance on substances and sheer willpower to endure.
Tripping over dollars to find pennies
Repeated theme of pursuing wealth, but only for destructive habits.
So I can go get high
Using acquired resources to sustain harmful behaviors.
Seeking solace in a substance
Seeking solace and escape from the harsh realities through substances.
As the decade passes by
Highlighting the enduring nature of struggles over an extended period.
And lately I'm just trying
Repetition of the theme, underscoring the ongoing nature of the struggle.
trying to survive
Reiterating the personal effort to survive despite challenges.
Running on cocaine and the will to be alive
Persistence in using substances and willpower to face life's difficulties.
Tripping over dollars to find pennies
Continued pursuit of wealth for self-destructive habits.
So I can go get high
Utilizing resources for detrimental behaviors.
Seeking solace in a substance
Continued reliance on substances as a source of comfort.
As the decade passes by
Reflecting on the enduring struggle as a decade unfolds.
