Never As Fast
Chasing Shadows: Struggling with Lost Connection
Lyrics
I've been seeing ghosts
I have been experiencing apparitions or lingering memories.
I get the feeling the most you've ever done for someone is lie
I sense that the most significant thing you've done for someone is to deceive them.
Lie in your bed
You lie in your bed, possibly suggesting a state of deception or dishonesty.
Stuck in your head
Your thoughts are preoccupied or stuck in a certain mindset.
You gain possession from my shit instead
You derive satisfaction or benefit from my struggles or problems.
Together but alone you were never my home
Despite being together, there is a sense of loneliness, as you were never a true home to me.
I fall apart
I experience emotional breakdown or fragmentation.
Stuck to the rhythm of the past
Attached to the repetitive patterns of the past.
No matter how far I ran
Regardless of how much distance I put between us.
I'm never as fast
I am never as quick or responsive as you are.
As you
Comparing myself to you.
I'm never as fast as you
Reiterating that I am not as fast as you.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emotions through vocalizations.
You've only seen the last part of me
You have only witnessed a limited, possibly vulnerable side of me.
That I need
Emphasizing something essential that I require.
Thoughts run through my blanketed mind
My mind is filled with thoughts, possibly obscured or unclear.
Please tell me that your mine
Seeking assurance that you belong to me.
Together but alone you were never my home
Similar to line 6, highlighting the sense of being together but feeling alone.
I fall apart
Experiencing emotional breakdown or fragmentation again.
Stuck to the rhythm of the past
Continuing to be influenced by the patterns of the past.
No matter how far I ran
Despite my efforts to distance myself.
I'm never as fast
Reiterating the theme of not being as fast as you.
As you
Comparing my speed to yours.
I'm never as fast as you
Reiterating the idea that I can't match your speed.
(I've been seeing, I've been seeing ghosts)
A repetition of the idea of seeing ghosts, possibly emphasizing its significance.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Emotional expressions through vocalizations, similar to line 13.
Together but alone you were never my home
Reiterating the theme of being together but feeling alone.
I fall apart
Repeating the experience of emotional breakdown or fragmentation.
Stuck to the rhythm of the past
Continuing to be influenced by the patterns of the past.
No matter how far I ran
Despite efforts to create distance.
I'm never as fast
Emphasizing the theme of not being as fast as you.
As you
Reiterating the comparison of my speed to yours.
