The Chase
Anita Lipnicka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I go slipping out of time
I go sneaking out of life
To meet him
He's a wolf and I am scared
More and more unprepared
Do I have enough flesh
Do I have enough rope
To tie him to me tight and close?
Eye to eye and bone to bone
For longer
With no bullets in my gun
To the open wild I run
Don't know when and I've become
The wolf's girl
No more sleep and no more rest
Who's the hunter on this chase?
Losing fast my human self
Letters dropping off my name
Holly waters rain on me
Burn my eyes and make me see
Stop me running, break my knees
Have mercy
Now the Moon is on the rise
I feel the twitching in my thighs
From within the heart of night
He calls me
No more sleep and no more rest
Who's the hunter on this chase?
Losing fast my human self
Letters dropping off my name
No more sleep and no more rest
Who's the hunter on this chase?
Teeth marks on my milky throat
To the wolf I belong
The lyrics to Anita Lipnicka's song The Chase seem to be a metaphor for a dangerous and all-consuming love affair. She refers to slipping through the back door of her mind and sneaking out of life to meet the object of her affection. The repeated references to a wolf suggest that the person she is meeting is wild, unpredictable and possibly dangerous. She questions whether she has enough of herself to give to him, whether she has enough flesh to feed him and enough rope to tie him to her.
As the song progresses, Lipnicka seems to be losing herself in this relationship; she is no longer sleeping or resting and feels as though letters of her name are dropping away as her human self disappears. The line "teeth marks on my milky throat" is particularly evocative and further underlines the suggestion of danger and intensity in this love affair.
Overall, The Chase is a powerful and emotional song that explores the dark side of love and the fear that can come with it. The use of metaphors and imagery helps to make the lyrics even more impactful and the end result is a haunting and memorable song.
