The Chase
About Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is coming late
There's no time to waste
Chances run
By my side
Then they fly away
Is it wrong or
I must stop the questions, now
Everytime
I look back
Clocks are everywhere
Full of fear and trembling
I won't stop the chase
God!
Time is off and I'm running
God!
Time is off and I'm running
I've come to that moment, now
It's time to define
I'll think of tomorrow ‘cause
Today's not enough
It's not enough
Feels like you're burnin'
It feels like you're burnin'
And you're always behind me
You're always behind me
God!
Time is off and I'm running
God!
Time is off and I'm running
Here you come and
I'm not prepared
Oh, shit, I was fooled again
I can't fix it right now
Fix it right now
Feels like you're burnin'
It feels like you're burnin'
"The Chase" by About Wayne is an intense and reflective song that delves into the complexities of chasing after something and the fear of missed opportunities. The artist uses vivid imagery of clocks, fear, and burning to express the urgency, restlessness, and anxiety felt when pursuing something important. The lyrics portray a sense of desperation, as the singer is always one step behind, with every move coming late and chances flying away. The song's chorus, "God! Time is off, and I'm running," speaks to the idea that time waits for no one, and it's important to seize the moment.
The song also explores the conflict between living in the present or chasing after the future, with the time running out. The artist suggests that there's a balance to be struck between the two when she sings, "I'll think of tomorrow 'cause today's not enough. It's not enough." There's a realization that living for the moment might not be enough to achieve what one desires, so a balance between present and future is crucial.
In conclusion, "The Chase" is a poignant song about the relentless pursuit of something important, the struggle to keep up with time, and the importance of striking a balance between living in the moment and chasing our dreams.
