Chaos
Andrew Bayer & Run Rivers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe something was blowing my mind
Searching for something too hard to find
I remember the moment our eyes first met
Surrounded by chaos, we flipped the switch

We started a fire without the faintest clue
(We started a fire)
Now out on the platform, the trains shooting past
We cling to the ceiling and hope it will last
Hope it will last

The rug was pulled out from under our feet
You heard me shout up from down on the street
I remember those endless nights outside
We danced in the chaos
We felt alive

We started a fire without the faintest clue
(We started a fire)
Now outside the curtains it′s getting near dawn
It's time to wake up and start moving along

We felt alive
We danced in the chaos
We felt alive
We danced in the chaos
We felt alive
We danced in the chaos

We felt alive




We felt alive
We felt alive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Andrew Bayer & Run Rivers' song Chaos talk about a moment of serendipity amid chaos. The singer, maybe overwhelmed and searching hard for something, found a moment of clarity when their eyes met with another person. In this moment, they started a fire, a metaphor for passion or love, without any clear direction but with a sense of hope. However, things change, and they are thrown off balance. Nonetheless, they still remember the moments when they were dancing in the chaos, feeling alive. These lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever found something meaningful unexpectedly and savored it, regardless of how long it lasted.

We find ourselves in a precarious or thrilling situation, with lots of activity or potential danger whizzing by us, but we hold on tight and wish fervently that this moment will continue or endure. (The last sentence is repeated.)

Suddenly and without warning we were knocked off-balance or destabilized, and I called out loudly from a lower position to someone above me.


I remember those endless nights outside We danced in the chaos We felt alive
I have distinct memories of long, unforgettable nights spent outdoors, where we moved and grooved to the rhythms and energies of the hectic and unpredictable world around us, feeling completely alive and invigorated.


Now outside the curtains it's getting near dawn It's time to wake up and start moving along
As the night draws to a close and the sun is about to rise, we realize that it's time to stop dreaming or living in a fantasy, and start facing the realities of our lives and taking action to move forward.


We felt alive We danced in the chaos We felt alive We danced in the chaos We felt alive We danced in the chaos We felt alive We felt alive We felt alive
We experienced an incredible sense of vitality, excitement, and authenticity as we moved and swayed to the chaotic and frenzied rhythms of our environment. (This chorus is repeated multiple times.)
