The Big Being Left Behind
Chasing Shadows: The Quest for Lost Love and Redemption
Lyrics
Well I woke up in the morning to the bluebird's song
Waking up to the optimism of a new day, symbolized by the bluebird's song.
Reached over for my baby just to find she was gone
Discovering the absence of a loved one upon reaching out in the morning.
Went to the doctor to try get professional advice
Seeking professional guidance from a doctor for emotional pain.
He said boy you better listen cause I won't tell you twice
Being warned by the doctor to pay attention to advice given.
Now you can run all day and run all night
Highlighting the futile pursuit of something important that has been lost.
Looking for something you misplaced that you are desperate to find
Emphasizing the desperation in searching for the misplaced item.
Yeah you can run all day and run all night
Reiterating the relentless nature of the search, warning of potential consequences.
But in the end you'll lose your life or you will lose your mind
Foretelling the ultimate cost of the exhaustive search - loss of life or sanity.
To the big big being left behind
Referring to the significant entity or concept left behind in the pursuit.
The big big being left behind
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of abandonment and loss.
Just another lonesome lover on the thin white line
Describing the singer as another lonely individual on a challenging path.
Condemned to the big being left behind
Affirming the singer's fate of being left behind by a significant force or person.
I went out into the desert for forty days and nights
Narrating a journey into self-discovery and introspection in the desert.
To try understand the thing in me that wasn't feeling right
Expressing the attempt to comprehend an internal struggle or dissatisfaction.
Met Jesus in a cave and he said to me
Meeting Jesus and learning about his emotional turmoil related to Mary Magdalene.
Man that Mary Magdalene's got me in misery
Acknowledging the shared experience of misery and struggles.
He tried to run all day and run all night
Describing the limitations in the pursuit of one's goals when hindered.
But you can only get so far when your legs are tied
Emphasizing the constraints and obstacles in the pursuit of objectives.
Yeah you can run all day and run all night
Continuing the theme of persistent pursuit despite challenges.
There's always something digging at you deep down inside
Highlighting inner conflicts and struggles that persistently affect the individual.
Got to be the big big being left behind
Reiterating the central theme of being left behind by a significant force.
The big big being left behind
Repetition for emphasis on the concept of abandonment and loss.
Just another lonesome lover on the thin white line
Describing the singer as another lonely individual on a challenging path.
Condemned to the big being left behind
Affirming the singer's fate of being left behind by a significant force or person.

-If I don't find somebody new soon think I'm gonna drop
-Until then I'll run all day and run all night
-With too many broken memories kicking round in my mind
