Lyrics
I stood for a moment, nonplussed, staring after him
The speaker paused, uncertain and confused, watching someone leave.
I glanced back into the darkness and I thought I could detect the sound of stealthy footsteps following me
The speaker looked back in the dark and sensed someone sneaking behind.
The suspicion was enough. I quickened my pace
Feeling suspicious, the speaker increased their speed.
Anxious to reach my safe haven
They were eager to reach a place of safety or comfort.
But now's my time!
The speaker feels it's their moment to act.
Feeling great and endorphins in my veins
A sense of euphoria and adrenaline rushes through the speaker's body.
A kickstart in a new life
They anticipate a fresh start or new beginning.
Still fight your thoughts
Despite the positivity, the speaker is still battling their inner thoughts.
One angel left and the devil on the right
Reference to conflicting moral choices or internal struggles (angel representing good, devil representing temptation).
What I might have done or what I've hoped to do makes no sense
The speaker feels that past actions or aspirations don't have significance.
All my arrangements were made for leaving here but something was pulling me back
Plans were in place to leave, but something held the speaker back.
Would I finally escape my shadowy pursuer?
Wondering if they'll finally escape the pursuer, though it seems uncertain.
It would be a close race
The outcome of the pursuit seems to be closely contested.
I jumped out and ran back
The speaker takes sudden action, turning back and running.
I had only a few seconds before the clash
There's little time left before a conflict or confrontation.
But now's my time!
Similar sentiment to line 6, a feeling that the moment to act has arrived.
Feeling great and endorphins in my veins
Repeated feeling of exhilaration and adrenaline.
A kickstart in a new life
Anticipation of a fresh start or new phase in life.
Still fight your thoughts
Despite positive feelings, there's an ongoing internal struggle.
One angel left and the devil on the right
Reiteration of conflicting moral choices or inner turmoil.
What I might have done or what I've hoped to do makes no sense
Reflection on past actions or aspirations having little meaning.
