Chasing Kites
Chasing Dreams on a Thin Line: iamamiwhoami's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
It's a thin thin line and I walk both sides of it
Describes walking a delicate line, navigating between opposing choices.
See the other side, appear so tempting, worth dying for it
Expresses the allure of the other side of the line, even if it seems dangerous.
And your dreams, waking out of one
References dreams, possibly indicating aspirations or goals.
Absorbing your every thought
Suggests deep contemplation and immersion in one's thoughts.
Worth risking it all for working its wonders and now for you
Highlights the risks taken for something valuable, working wonders.
Under the ocean, outcast with nowhere to go (nowhere to go, nowhere to go)
Portrays a sense of isolation under the ocean with no clear direction.
A brighter forecast where new winds will blow (we let it go, we let it go)
Anticipates a positive change in circumstances, letting go of the past.
A storm is drawing near, come meet me when it's cleared
Forewarns of an approaching storm, inviting someone to meet after it passes.
Waste my youth chasing kites, I know it'll blow out of my hand
Reflects on wasting time and effort pursuing elusive goals, like chasing kites.
Put your heads in the sand, there is nothing there to seek
Encourages avoidance or denial of difficult truths, putting heads in the sand.
No discovery of mine will be safe in these seas
Indicates the danger of exploring in uncharted territories, especially in turbulent waters.
You feel a bitter taste on your tongue
Describes a negative experience, possibly a consequence of the exploration.
Swallow your every wrong
Suggests accepting and internalizing past mistakes.
Let yourselves be in your arms
Encourages finding solace and comfort in one's own arms.
In it are worries now for you
Implies current concerns or burdens to bear.
Under the ocean, outcast with nowhere to go (nowhere to go, nowhere to go)
Reiterates the feeling of being an outcast with no clear direction.
A brighter forecast where new winds will blow (we let it go, we let it go)
Reaffirms the hope for a positive change and letting go of the past.
A storm is drawing near, come meet me when it's cleared
Repeats the anticipation of an upcoming storm and a future meeting.
Waste my youth chasing kites, I know it'll blow out of my hand
Recalls the theme of wasted youth chasing something elusive.
Overlooking our past, letting it go
Advises overlooking the past and releasing its hold.
A brighter forecast, new winds will blow
Restates the expectation of positive change and the arrival of new opportunities.
A storm is drawing near, come meet me when it's cleared
Reiterates the warning of an impending storm and a future meeting after it clears.
Waste my youth chasing kites, I know we'll blow
Echoes the idea of wasting youth pursuing something transient.
