Following You
Chasing Shadows: A Soul's Journey in Shelby Lynne's 'Following You'
Lyrics
Following you as the light falls on the water in the morning
Adhering to your presence while the sunlight reflects on the water during the morning.
Following you watch the day bring longer shadows garden's growing
Continuously tracking and observing as the day progresses, noticing the elongating shadows in the garden as it flourishes.
I'm just a kid
Expressing a sense of innocence and lack of experience.
A baby child
Describing oneself metaphorically as a naive and dependent individual.
Waiting on direction
Feeling lost and in need of guidance or instruction.
From your voices
Seeking direction and advice from influential figures or voices.
You're just a king
Portraying the person being followed as having authority or power.
Only a king
Acknowledging the authority or leadership of the person, but also recognizing their decisions.
But you made all your choices, um
Indicating that despite being in a position of power, the individual has made all their own choices.
Following you even though you don't know where you are going
Persistently following even though the person being followed is uncertain of their own direction.
Following you in your footsteps on the leaves
Trailing the path set by the person, even amidst uncertainties and difficulties (symbolized by footsteps on leaves).
Even thoughing
Typo: "Even thoughing" may not carry a specific meaning in the context of the song.
I'll pretend
Feigning ignorance or unawareness for the sake of maintaining the illusion of being uninformed.
Just pretend
Intentionally pretending or acting to deceive about one's knowledge.
To let you think I don't know nothing
Presenting oneself as ignorant as expected, although knowing more than what is portrayed.
Like I'm supposed to
Conforming to societal or perceived norms of behavior.
I prop you up
Supporting or upholding the person being followed.
I stand you up
Ensuring the stability or maintaining the position of the person being followed.
So I can keep you in the knowing
Doing so in order to remain informed or knowledgeable about the person's actions.
Your halo's showing
Indicating the presence of a metaphorical "halo" around the person being followed, possibly highlighting their virtuous or revered status.
Following you
