Chasing Shadows: A Melodic Journey through Time and Reflection
Lyrics
Keep the shadows off, off my back
Desire to keep away from negative influences or troubles.
And my melodies on your tracks
Wish for personal creations or expressions to be supported or followed by someone else.
Silly cinematic trouble on my mind
Feeling bothered by trivial or superficial issues portrayed like scenes in a movie.
Lonesome is the road to leave it all behind
Understanding that the path to leaving everything behind can be lonely.
Remember what you did and never let it go
Encouragement to hold onto memories and experiences without letting them fade.
Keep it all inside and never say so
A tendency to internalize emotions and thoughts without expressing them outwardly.
In your eyes you're still a child stealing stones
Seeing oneself as still having a youthful innocence despite past actions.
Look into the mirror, see you're getting old
Realization of aging or passing time reflected in one's appearance.
Looking at each other, we are getting older
Recognition of mutual aging and the passage of time between individuals.
We are all famous, we are all golden to anyone these days
Perception that everyone is potentially celebrated or esteemed by society in modern times.
We are all ageless, we are all chosen to anyone these days
Belief that everyone has inherent value or importance to others in contemporary society.
To nobody, to nobody one day
Realization that despite societal acclaim, one might ultimately be insignificant to certain individuals or to no one at some point.
Just like a smiling crescent moon
Comparing oneself to a fleeting, transient, yet pleasant image like a crescent moon.
Only a vision gone so soon
Recognition of something cherished that has disappeared unexpectedly or prematurely.
And I know I'm the worrying kind
Acknowledgment of a tendency towards worry or concern.
And oh, I'm only trying, only trying to find
Expressing the effort to discover or seek something despite challenges.
Remember what you did and never let it go
A repetition emphasizing the importance of holding onto memories and experiences.
Keep it all inside and never say so
Reiterating the inclination to internalize emotions or thoughts without verbalizing them.
In your eyes you're still a child stealing stones
Continuing to see oneself as having a childlike innocence despite past actions.
Look into the mirror, see you're getting old
Realizing the effects of aging or passing time when looking in the mirror.
Looking at each other, we are getting older
Mutually recognizing the process of growing older between individuals.
We are all famous, we are all golden to anyone these days
Perception that everyone has potential fame or worth in the eyes of others in contemporary society.
We are all ageless, we are all chosen to anyone these days
Belief that everyone possesses intrinsic value or significance to others in today's society.
To nobody, to nobody one day
Acknowledgment that despite societal recognition, one may eventually be inconsequential to specific individuals or to no one.
