Brass Ring
Chasing the Brass Ring: Unveiling the Depths of Emotion in Tigers Jaw's Lyrics
Lyrics
I let it in
I allowed it to affect me
Maybe I should let on
Perhaps I should express my feelings
When I feel everything but say nothing is wrong
When I sense everything is not right but choose to remain silent
It's the path I paved
It's the journey I've chosen
The road leads into itself
The path leads back to itself
I've been walking for days feeling sorry for myself
I've been walking for an extended period, feeling pity for myself
As soon as I plant my feet
Once I stabilize, something destabilizes me
The rug is pulled from under me
Consistently striving for something out of reach
Always reaching for the brass ring
Pursuing an elusive goal or success
Around and around and around
Repeatedly in a circular motion
It will not reverse
It cannot go backward
The carousel turns
The merry-go-round continues
I let you in
I allowed you to be part of my life
Maybe you should let on
Perhaps you should also express your feelings
When you feel everything but tell me nothing is wrong
When you sense something amiss but keep it hidden
I lie there at night
I lay awake during the night
Sleep to no avail
Sleep doesn't bring relief
My mind racing in circles
My thoughts repeating in circles
A dog chasing its tail
An endless mental cycle, like a dog chasing its tail
As soon as I plant my feet
Once I find stability, it's disrupted
The rug is pulled from under me
Continuously aiming for an unattainable goal
Always reaching for the brass ring
Persistently seeking an elusive achievement
Around and around and around
Repetitive pursuit in circles
It will not reverse
It cannot go back to how it was
The carousel turns
The merry-go-round persists
How can I say what I want to say
Expressing what I truly feel is challenging
When every word pushes you away?
My words unintentionally distance you
How can I say what I want to say
Communicating my true thoughts is difficult
When every word pushes you away?
My words inadvertently create distance between us
Pushes you away
Causes separation between us
