Chasing Shadows: A Tale of Longing in the Wild Woods
Lyrics
The moon rises at night
The moon rises during the night.
Met with a star-studded sky
Encountering a sky filled with stars.
Oh, how pretty it must seem
Expressing the perceived beauty of the night.
She can't help but think
Reflecting on thoughts; contemplating.
of how dull they beam
Comparing the dullness of stars to a more captivating light.
Compared to a light she has seen
Referencing a more vivid light witnessed before.
Since the moon eclipsed the sun
Describing a significant event - the moon eclipsing the sun.
She's come completely undone
Feeling emotionally undone after the mentioned event.
No other sight will do her good
Expressing dissatisfaction with other sights.
She swears to chase the cycle down
Committing to pursuing a cyclical pattern until the sun reappears.
That spins the earth around
Referring to the cyclical motion that revolves the earth.
Until the sun comes out again
A determination to wait for the return of sunlight.
You said you'd wait for me
Recalling a promise of waiting.
You said you'd wait for me
Repeating the promise of waiting.
But would you? Would you?
Raising doubt about the sincerity of the promise.
The lonely stream it weaves
Describing a lonely stream and its weaving path.
Down through the mountain breeze
Flowing down through mountain breeze, depicting a journey.
To a place she's never seen
Heading towards an unknown place.
She hears you beckoning
Hearing a call or signal from someone.
The sea cries "Come back to me!"
The sea calling for a return.
She moves as fast as she can
Moving quickly in response to the call.
Her current surge a flood
Describing a surge of current like a flood.
As she leaves the wild woods
Leaving a wild and untamed forest.
Never to return again
Deciding not to return to the wild woods.
You said you needed me
Recalling a need expressed by someone.
And you have your promises to keep
Acknowledging promises that need to be fulfilled.
Oh, you said you'd wait for me
Reiterating the promise of waiting.
You said you'd wait for me
Repeating the commitment to wait.
But would you? Would you?
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of waiting.
I still hang on to every word you said
Continuing to hold on to every spoken word.
You still live in my mind
Persisting thoughts of the person in the mind.
It's like you never left
Feeling as if the person never left.
It's like you never left, you never left
Emphasizing the lasting presence of the person.
