Sighing Innocents
Chasing Shadows: A Tale of Yearning and Redemption
Lyrics
Give me a stand
Requesting recognition or appreciation
A standing ovation, baby
Asking for a high level of acknowledgment or praise
Give me a road
Desiring a path or direction to follow
Which I can tail
Wanting guidance or a trail to pursue
You don't know nothing, baby
Stating ignorance or lack of understanding
So don't pretend
Warning against false pretenses
Or you might pay
Implying potential consequences for pretending
Cost
Referring to a price or consequence
It's costing me nothing, baby
Indicating a lack of cost or expense
I might feel some shame
Acknowledging potential embarrassment
But I don't care
Expressing indifference towards embarrassment
And if you won't mind
Asking permission to move closer
Just moving the fireside, baby
Prefering discomfort over a specific location
I'd rather be cold
Choosing coldness over being in that location
Than lying over there
Rejecting a specific position or situation
No, this ain't sighing innocents
Denying the presence of innocent sighs
This ain't sighing innocents
Reiterating the absence of innocent sighs
No this ain't sighing innocents
Emphasizing the lack of innocence in sighs
I'm just trying to follow you
Attempting to pursue or imitate someone
And if you walk
Expressing a willingness to follow
I might just tag along
Offering to accompany or follow along
It only be shop talk, some
Downplaying the significance of an action
Well that's something to do
Identifying an activity to engage in
Or I might take a walk down
Consideration of taking a stroll by a water body
By the river, baby
Contemplating a walk near a river
But no I won't
Deciding not to wait for someone
No I won't be waiting for you
Refusing to wait for a particular person
No, this ain't sighing innocents
Reiterating the absence of innocent sighs
This ain't sighing innocents
Denying the presence of innocent sighs
No this ain't sighing innocents
Emphasizing the lack of innocence in sighs
I'm just trying to follow you
Attempting to pursue or imitate someone
Sorry but sense
Expressing regret but also dismissal
That (no one will miss you)
Anticipating a lack of recognition or attention
That no one will miss you
Implying potential insignificance if gone
If you die
Discussing potential reactions to one's absence
They might send a wreath
Anticipating potential gestures upon death
They might send a reason
Predicting the possibility of receiving condolences
They might send a reason
Expecting an explanation or justification for death
But us, we know
Claiming insider knowledge or understanding
Join in the sus
Encouraging participation in suspicion or mistrust
It's always the same man
Commenting on a recurring situation
He's taking a stroll
Describing a routine activity
And then they tie him to his ghost
Describing a negative outcome of routine
I know it's sad
Acknowledging sadness or sorrow
But you never listen
Highlighting a lack of attentiveness
No, you never listen
Reiterating a lack of attentiveness
You just drive home
Driving home without paying attention
