The Weaver
Chasing Dreams: Unraveling the Enigmatic Story of The Weaver
Lyrics
Run, run, as fast as you can
Encouraging someone to run quickly
You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man
Asserting that the speaker, the Gingerbread Man, cannot be caught
You can look, look, hard as you can
Inviting someone to search intensely
You can't see me, I'm the Gingerbread Man
Claiming invisibility as the Gingerbread Man
Poor old family of man
Referring to humanity as a "family of man"
Never mind me, I'm just a Gingerbread Man
Minimizing own significance as the Gingerbread Man
Only hours away could be a man with a million dollars
Suggesting the possibility of encountering wealth in a short time
Only minutes away could be a guy with a gun
Highlighting the proximity of danger, possibly involving a weapon
Only seconds away could be a love that will last forever
Expressing the potential for everlasting love within seconds
But if it gets away there might not ever be one
Warning that if an opportunity is missed, it may never come again
In and out, in and out, in and out
Repetition emphasizing a rhythmic pattern
How many times do I think "in and out, in and out"?
Reflecting on the frequency of thinking about repetitive actions
This color's not right
Noting a dissatisfaction with a color
It needs some more red
Suggesting a need for more intensity in the color red
Maybe it's the light
Considering the impact of lighting on perception
Now I'm not sure
Expressing uncertainty about a visual observation
I wonder where Ken is
Pondering the whereabouts of someone named Ken
What's she doing?
Questioning the activities of an unidentified person
Ah, she's asleep
Observing someone's state of sleep
He tries to help
Referring to an attempt to assist
I know he loves me
Expressing awareness of love despite occasional emotional distance
But sometimes he seems so out of touch
Commenting on someone's preoccupation with words
And all he cares about are his words
Describing words as aged and weary
So old and tired
Expressing a need for support and assistance
I need someone to help me
Expressing concern about potential harm to someone named Ken
And what if that guy follows him?
Raising a hypothetical situation of being followed
Last week he told me about that man who kept staring at him
Recalling a past conversation about someone staring at another person
I can see him with his throat cut now
Imagining a grim outcome of harm to the person being stared at
Oh, why do I do this?
Expressing self-doubt and questioning personal choices
I can see it all - school picture in the newspaper
Visualizing a tragic scenario involving a newspaper headline about a child's death
"Child savagely slain"
Expressing a wish for someone's presence
God, I wish he was home now
Conveying a sense of longing for the return of a specific person
