Chasing Shadows: A Tale of Fear and Escape
Lyrics
Passed on from I don't know there's something right outside my door
Feeling a mysterious presence outside the speaker's door, origin unknown.
And it won't stop till it gets me
An impending threat that relentlessly pursues the speaker.
Late nights and foggy dreams 12 o'clock and no one hears my screams
Describing unsettling nights and unclear dreams, with a sense of isolation at midnight.
Jacked up from all this medication
The speaker feels altered or disturbed due to medication.
Just give me all or give me nothing
Desire for either complete commitment or nothing at all.
And take this pain away
Pleading to be freed from pain.
Admit that you might be afraid of
Acknowledging fear, possibly of the unknown.
Of what you never see
Fear of things unseen or unknown.
There must be something right behind
Suggesting a lurking presence just out of sight.
And it only wants one thing
The mysterious entity has a singular objective.
And it won't stop chasing me
The pursuit is relentless and unending.
You're not so innocent
Challenging the innocence of the listener.
It follows are you and your disease
The threat follows both the listener and their troubles.
Traffic lights aren't gonna save you
Common safety measures won't protect against the looming danger.
I can take it all away
The speaker claims the ability to alleviate the listener's suffering.
One night is all it's gonna take
Suggesting a quick resolution to the ongoing threat.
And we can lift this burden from you
Offering to help lift the listener's burdens.
Can't catch the ghost that hides behind your tired seeing eyes
Referencing a hidden struggle behind the listener's tired eyes.
It's getting closer every night and it won't slow down
The danger is approaching rapidly and shows no signs of slowing down.
Looks like you're running out of time go
Implying urgency and a need to find an alternative solution.
Got to find another way
An imperative to seek a different path for escape.
Got to find a new way out
The necessity to discover a new way out of the predicament.
