Real Thing
Chasing Shadows in the Night: A Journey of Love and Loneliness
Lyrics
Out on the corner, an hour past midnight
Being in a place on the street, an hour after midnight.
My hands won't hold still and my head don't feel right
Experiencing restlessness in hands and discomfort in the head.
I hear a voice saying you won't make it through the night
Hearing a voice suggesting doubt about making it through the night.
I see you coming in the light of day, I smile at my reflection to keep this loneliness at bay
Seeing someone approach in the daylight, finding solace in the reflection to combat loneliness.
You say won't you let me walk this way with you
The person asks to accompany and walk together.
It feels just like the real thing when I'm with you
Expressing that being with the person feels authentic and genuine.
Sunlight hits my face and my head starts to sway
Feeling the impact of sunlight on the face, experiencing a pull towards the person.
I feel the curve of the earth and it's pulling me your way
Sensing a connection with the person, influenced by the curvature of the earth.
I still remember all the games we used to play
Recalling past games played with the person.
Skin crawling and I'm running out of time
Feeling uneasy and pressured, running out of time.
My head hits the ground and its you on my mind
Experiencing a physical reaction (skin crawling) with thoughts dominated by the person.
I see the light and I'm waiting on a sign from you
Seeing a sign of hope and waiting for confirmation from the person.
It feels just like the real thing when I'm with you
Reiterating the authentic and real feeling when being with the person.
A bullet to my brain and I feel down till she calls my name
Using a metaphor of a bullet to describe the impact of something significant, feeling down until the person calls.
Forever, all messed up with you
Expressing a long-lasting connection, possibly with challenges, but still enduring.
So take me by my hand and lead me back to this foreign land
Asking to be guided back to a place of familiarity by the person.
Forever all messed up with you
Reiterating the enduring connection, acknowledging imperfections but embracing them together.
