Shimmering Sun
Chasing Shadows: A Tale of Loss and Redemption
Lyrics
Here's a song for a man that I don't know
Introduction to a song dedicated to an unknown man
Haunted by sorrow and pain
Describing the man as haunted by sorrow and pain
Dreams of everything
Man dreams of everything
Everything he couldn't gain
Expressing the man's inability to achieve everything he desired
Hiding the wish for a cry
Man conceals the desire to cry
Living everyday
Describing the man's routine of living each day
Everyday living a lie
Highlighting that his daily life is based on a lie
Seeking the wish for a cry
Expressing the man's suppressed wish to cry
Living everyday
Reiterating the man's daily struggle with deception
Everyday living a lie
Emphasizing the continuous nature of living a lie
And he's losing his mind
Describing the man as losing his sanity
As he feels left behind
Feeling abandoned and left behind
Chasing the light of a shimmering sun
Pursuing the elusive light of a shimmering sun
He prays to fail
Expressing a prayer for failure
Oh, everyday falling down
Describing a continuous state of falling down
Tonight is the night all my tears are here
Night symbolizes a time when tears overwhelm
Burying me
Feelings of being buried by emotions
I chased for the sun but I cannot breath
Expressing difficulty in breathing while chasing the sun
As I walked through the doors you were
Someone carried the narrator through doors
Carrying me
Highlighting the contradictory actions of the person
But you never did
The person didn't fulfill expectations
Wave like a ghoul as I'm wishing for more
Wishing for more while waving like a ghoul
You could have cared but you walked out the door
Regret over someone walking out without caring
I should have been told you were not here to learn
Realization that the person wasn't there to learn
And babe now we burn
Consequence of the past actions, leading to burning
Chasing the light of a shimmering sun
Continued pursuit of the elusive sun's light
He prays to fail
Reiteration of the prayer for failure
Oh, everyday falling down
Repeating the theme of falling down daily
Wave like a ghoul as I'm wishing for more
Similar imagery of wishing for more while waving like a ghoul
You could have cared but you walked out the door
Reiterating the regret over someone walking out
I should have been told you were not here to learn
Repeating the realization that the person wasn't there to learn
And babe now we burn
Emphasizing the burning consequence
Chasing the light of a shimmering sun
Final pursuit of the shimmering sun's light
He prays to fail
Final prayer for failure
Oh, everyday falling down
Conclusion with the repetition of the theme of falling down
