Figure of 8
Chasing Shadows: Embracing Fate
Lyrics
Underneath the swollen sun
Expressing a setting under a glaring or intense sun.
Waiting for the cold to come
Awaiting the arrival of cold weather.
It's funny how she totes her gun at me
Observing someone, possibly a female, carrying a gun in a humorous or unexpected manner.
Underneath a leafless tree
Beneath a tree without leaves.
Not enough shade for me
Insufficient shade, possibly discomfort or exposure.
It's funny how she speaks at neck-break speed
Commenting on the rapid and intense speech of the same person from line 3.
I've been making figure of eights
Engaged in a repetitive action, creating figure eights.
All around the room
Performing the figure eights throughout a room.
And it's got something to do with you
Suggesting a connection between the repetitive action and someone specific.
Underneath the swollen sun
Repeating the setting under the intense sun.
No more distance left to run
Indicating a lack of remaining distance or obstacles.
You could call it off and come with me
Inviting someone to abandon plans and join the speaker.
Underneath a leafless tree
Reiterating the leafless tree setting.
Today didn't agree with me
Reflecting on a day that did not go well.
I guess what will be will be, mostly
Acceptance of fate or circumstances, with a touch of uncertainty.
I've been making figure of eights
Continuation of the repetitive figure eight activity.
All around the room
Repeating the performance within a room, reemphasizing the connection to someone.
And it's got something to do with you
Reiterating the relationship between the figure eights and the person mentioned earlier.
