Chasing Dreams in Simple Shapes: A Poetic Journey of Escape and Connection
Lyrics
Can I borrow your hand?
Expressing a desire for assistance or support.
Tell me when you need it back
Offering to return the favor when needed.
And I'll personally thank you for the chance
Grateful acknowledgment for the opportunity to reciprocate.
I'm modest, honestly
Claiming to be humble or unassuming.
Can I make it back? Probably...
Expressing uncertainty about recovering something.
I'm just hoping that you ask for that
Hoping for a specific request, possibly indicating a willingness to help.
And if I hold onto this
Reflecting on holding onto something, possibly a feeling or relationship.
I know that it's right for me
Believing that the held onto item is right for the speaker.
That's alright, don't you see?
Reassurance that it's acceptable or justified.
I wanted to find some sleep
Expressing a desire to find rest or tranquility.
I know that it's been a while
Acknowledging a lapse in time since the last period of rest.
I'm giving it all of me
Committing to giving one's all in a situation or relationship.
But still like half the time
Admitting that only half the time is fully dedicated or invested.
I'm running in circles
Metaphorically running in circles, possibly feeling stuck or unproductive.
Creating a space I crave
Creating a desired space or environment.
Watch me make my great escape
Announcing a plan to escape, possibly from a challenging situation.
Leaving a trail of simple shapes
Leaving a trail of simple shapes, suggesting a marked or intentional departure.
Leaving a trail of simple shapes
Empty line, potentially emphasizing the repetition of leaving a trail.
Will I see you again?
Pondering the possibility of seeing someone again.
I don't wanna make pretend
Expressing a reluctance to engage in pretense or false appearances.
Even though I know you're with me in my head
Acknowledging the presence of someone in the speaker's thoughts.
And if I hold onto this
Repeating the theme of holding onto something that is perceived as right.
I know that it's right for me
Reiterating the affirmation that holding onto something is acceptable.
That's alright don't you see?
Reassuring that it's alright, perhaps addressing potential doubts.
(Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you?)
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm, possibly expressing conviction.
I wanted to find some sleep
Revisiting the desire to find rest or sleep.
I know that it's been a while
Recalling the passage of time since the last period of rest.
I'm giving it all of me
Recommitting to giving one's all despite the passage of time.
But still like half the time
Reiterating the admission that only half the time is fully committed.
I'm running in circles
Repeating the metaphor of running in circles, suggesting ongoing challenges.
Creating a space I crave
Reiterating the creation of a desired space or environment.
Watch me make my great escape
Reaffirming the intention to make a great escape.
Leaving a trail of simple shapes
Repeating the act of leaving a trail of simple shapes.
Leaving a trail of simple shapes
Reiteration of the act of leaving a trail of simple shapes.
