Footsteps in the Dark
Chasing Shadows: Seeking Truth in Hidden Moments
Lyrics
I can see it in your eyes
I can perceive emotions or truths in your eyes.
I’m not getting through to you
I am struggling to communicate effectively with you.
You read between the lines
You are understanding implied meanings or subtext.
But the words on the page are already true
Yet, the explicit words written down are already accurate.
I’ve tried a thousand times
I have attempted countless times.
There’s nothing else that I can do
There's no alternative action left for me to take.
I’ve tried a thousand times
I've made numerous attempts.
But there’s no getting through to you
However, I can't break through to you.
Can you tell me you don’t understand
Can you confirm that you don't comprehend?
Why I feel the way, that I have to
Why I feel compelled to act the way I do?
We’re chasing the past by candlelight
We are nostalgically pursuing past moments.
Holding onto moments that we’ll never find
Clutching onto memories that are unattainable.
Waving matches in the wind just to catch a spark
Trying futile efforts to ignite something meaningful.
Cause we’ll do anything to see our footsteps in the dark
Willing to do anything to glimpse our influence or impact.
Can you help me understand
Can you assist me in comprehending?
Why you lie the way you do
Why do you persist in deception?
See I don’t give a damn
I don't care about anything except hearing the truth.
I just want to hear the truth
I solely desire honesty.
Can you tell me you don’t understand
Can you confirm that you don't grasp my feelings?
Why I feel the way, that I have to
Why I feel compelled to act the way I do?
Can you tell me you don’t feel it too
Can you confirm that you don't experience the same?
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emotional tones or emphasis (vocalization).
We’re chasing the past by candlelight
We are nostalgically pursuing past moments.
Holding onto moments that we’ll never find
Clutching onto memories that are unattainable.
Waving matches in the wind just to catch a spark
Trying futile efforts to ignite something meaningful.
Cause we’ll do anything to see our footsteps in the dark
Willing to do anything to glimpse our influence or impact.
We’re tracing our path by holding tight
We are retracing our history by holding onto it.
Reaching out for branches that we’ve left behind
Reaching for things we've abandoned.
Waving matches in the wind just to catch a spark
Trying futile efforts to ignite something meaningful.
Cause we’ll do anything to see our footsteps in the dark
Willing to do anything to glimpse our influence or impact.
I can see you in a light that’s blinding
I can see you in a glaring, revealing light.
In the corners where you think you’re hiding
In places where you think you're concealed.
Looking for something that doesn’t need finding
Searching for something that doesn't require discovery.
Cause you’re just too busy rewinding
Because you're excessively preoccupied with reliving the past.
We’re chasing the past by candlelight
We are nostalgically pursuing past moments.
Holding onto moments that we’ll never find
Clutching onto memories that are unattainable.
Waving matches in the wind just to catch a spark
Trying futile efforts to ignite something meaningful.
Cause we’ll do anything to see our footsteps in the dark
Willing to do anything to glimpse our influence or impact.
We’re tracing our path by holding tight (our footsteps in the dark)
We are retracing our history by holding onto it (our impact in the dark).
Reaching out for branches that we’ve left behind (our footsteps in the dark)
Reaching for things we've abandoned (our impact in the dark).
Waving matches in the wind just to catch a spark (our footsteps in the dark)
Trying futile efforts to ignite something meaningful (our impact in the dark).
Cause we’ll do anything to see our footsteps in the dark
Willing to do anything to glimpse our influence or impact (our impact in the dark).
