Something Good
Chasing Light: A Journey Through Struggles and Triumphs
Lyrics
Have you ever climbed a mountain?
Reflecting on the experience of facing challenges or obstacles in life, symbolized by climbing a mountain.
You go for miles and miles and miles
Emphasizing the long and arduous journey taken to overcome obstacles.
To reach the top of your summit
Achieving personal goals and reaching the pinnacle of success or accomplishment.
And you tell yourself well done, yeah
Self-recognition and self-praise for overcoming challenges.
You go home and feel good
Feeling a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment upon completing a difficult task.
When the lights go out
Describing a moment of reflection or contemplation when external distractions are minimized.
I get stuck in the climbing
Feeling stuck or unable to progress, possibly in the context of personal growth.
I’ve gone for hours and hours and hours
Continuing efforts and perseverance despite facing prolonged challenges.
I’m going uphill, I’m getting nowhere,
Expressing frustration about making little or no progress despite sustained effort.
I got nothing but some rocks in my shoes
Facing difficulties represented by "rocks in my shoes," hindering progress.
And when the lights go out
Returning to a state of reflection when external stimuli are reduced, possibly in solitude.
I just wanna feel something good
Desiring positive emotions or experiences during moments of introspection.
Have you ever painted with colors?
Exploring creativity and expression through the metaphor of painting with colors.
You swirl around with ease and smiles
Experiencing artistic freedom and joy while expressing oneself creatively.
You go wherever; go where you want to
Emphasizing the freedom to choose one's path and destination in life.
And you tell yourself well done, yeah
Self-acknowledgment and self-praise for creative achievements.
You hang it up and feel good
Feeling a sense of accomplishment and pride after completing a creative endeavor.
When the lights go out
Returning to a reflective state when external influences are reduced.
I get stuck in the boxes
Feeling confined or restricted by societal expectations and norms.
All those pretty colors fade away
Experiencing the fading of creativity and vibrancy in a constrained environment.
Can’t go wherever; stuck in the lines
Feeling limited and unable to explore freely, constrained by societal boundaries.
And I got nothin’ but a pile of thoughts to weigh
Weighed down by introspective thoughts and self-reflection in a constrained state.
And when the light goes out
Desiring positive emotions during moments of reduced external stimuli.
Just wanna feel something good
Expressing a longing for positive feelings and experiences when external influences are minimal.
When the light goes out
Reiteration of the desire for positive emotions during moments of reduced external stimuli.
I just wanna feel something good
Continued expression of the desire for positive experiences during reflective moments.
Something good
Repetition of the longing for "something good," indicating a persistent desire for positivity.
Promise you I try to feel all right
Expressing effort and intention to feel emotionally well despite challenges.
I give it my best shot and it makes me cry
Putting forth one's best effort, even if it leads to emotional vulnerability.
There’s something broken deep inside
Acknowledging internal struggles or emotional pain.
There’s a screw it’s not quite tightened
Suggesting a metaphorical malfunction or imbalance in the speaker's emotional state.
Some sort of bulb refused to shine
Describing a flaw or imperfection in the speaker's emotional well-being.
No matter how hard I want it brightened
Expressing the persistent challenge of achieving emotional brightness or positivity.
And when the lights go out
Reiteration of the desire to feel positive emotions during moments of reduced external stimuli.
I just wanna feel something good
Continued expression of the longing for positive experiences during reflective moments.
When the light goes out
Reiteration of the desire for positive emotions when external influences are minimized.

Since that light's gone out
