Chasing Shadows: A Journey of Lost Identity
Lyrics
I keep on moving, but I don' know where I been
The singer feels a sense of motion but lacks awareness of their destination or past.
Think I'm recovering, but oh it seems again
Despite attempting to recover, they find themselves relapsing or facing similar struggles.
Try to turn away, don't know where to look
Feeling lost, unsure where to direct their attention or focus.
Seems like I live my life, like an open book
Perceives life as transparent, lacking privacy or hiding.
I keep a moving, hoping everything's alright, Oh
Hoping for reassurance in their movement, seeking everything to be okay.
Try to shield myself against the blinding light, Oh
Trying to protect themselves from overwhelming or harsh realities.
Turn my head and look away, I don't know what I see, Oh
Unsure of what they're witnessing or experiencing, avoiding confronting it.
And I keep a running, and I keep a running away from me
Continuously running away from their own self, possibly avoiding introspection or facing personal truths.
6:30 Monday and I don't know where I am
Feeling disoriented and unaware of their location on a specific day.
10:30 Tuesday and I just don't give a damn
Experiencing apathy or indifference towards the events of a particular day.
I keep a moving, hoping everything's alright, Oh
Similar to line 6, seeking assurance in movement.
Try to shield myself against the blinding light, Oh
Attempting to shield oneself from intense or overwhelming realities.
Turn my head and look away, don't know what I see, Oh
Avoiding confronting or understanding what they encounter by looking away.
And I keep a running, and I keep a running away from me
Continuing to evade confronting their own identity or issues by running away.
I don't know where I've been, I don't know where I go
Expressing a lack of understanding of their past or future.
All I know everything is moving much to slow
Feeling that everything around them is moving too slowly, possibly a sense of frustration or impatience.
I keep a moving, hoping everything's alright, Oh
Seeking reassurance in movement, similar to previous instances.
Try to shield myself against the blinding light, Oh
Trying to protect themselves from overwhelming truths or experiences.
Turn my head and look away, I don't know what I see, Oh
Continuing to avoid confronting or understanding what they encounter.
And I keep a running, and I keep a running away from me
Persistently running away from self-awareness or facing personal realities.
