Chasing You
Burden Of The Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were the prices you paid
All the good times you ruined
The mess you made of me
I'm looking for a smooth transition
I'm taking on a new position
(Right now)
Im a sea of aggression
You better search for protection
I finally found the missing piece of me
The one that starts the fire that's behind my eyes
I finally found a whole new way to see
And now I'm taking back my life
All the pieces and samples you left on the table
All the holes in my life the example you made of me
I'm looking for a smooth transition
I'm fighting for a new position
(Right now)
Im a sea of aggression
(Right now)
You better search for protection
I finally found the missing piece of me
The one that starts the fire that's behind my eyes
I finally found a whole new way to see
And now I'm taking back my life
How's it feel when your lies turned you upside down
When the friends that you had ran for higher grounds
And the walls that you built
They all come crumbling down
When the people you love have all turned their backs
And your enemies have all planned their attacks
Will you fight or will they catch you waiting around
(Around)
So let's take it to the limit baby
Let's create someone who's worth me saving
Because I'm on fire I'm done behaving
I finally found someone worth chasing
If you can understand me
If you can hear these words
Sick and tired of your pretending
So I'm gonna make you hurt
Could've been the one who saved you
you could've saved me too t
Imes up you've reached your ending
Now that I'm chasing you
I finally found the missing piece of me
The one that starts the fire that's behind my eyes
I finally found a whole new way to see
And now I'm taking back my
Life
"Chasing You" by Burden of the Sky is about betrayal and redemption. The lyrics describe a situation where someone trusted and loved has hurt the singer deeply, leading to a lot of pain and chaos in their life. However, instead of wallowing in the hurt, the singer decides to take control of the situation and move on, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
The first verse sets the stage for the song by mentioning the prices the person paid for the things they did, ruining the good times and making a mess of the singer's life. The singer is looking for a smooth transition into a new position, one that will help them shed the embodiment of their anger and aggression. They have finally found the missing piece that starts the fire in their eyes, giving them a whole new way to see things. In the second verse, the singer takes responsibility for their part, acknowledging the holes in their life and the example that the person they trusted set. They are fighting for a new position, one that will help them channel the aggression differently.
The chorus declares that the singer has finally found someone worth chasing and that they are taking back their life. The singer is no longer behaving the same way as before, and the person who was once worth chasing now has to run away themselves. The bridge talks about the realization that comes when people lie and deceive, leading to the loss of friends, loved ones and creating a wall of betrayal and distrust. The singer calls on the person who hurt them to understand the pain they caused and acknowledge their wrongs.

Fed up with your facade
So I'm gonna make you hurt
So, I'm going to cause you pain
Could've been the one who saved you
I had the potential to rescue you
you could've saved me too times up you've reached your ending
We both could've helped each other, but it's too late now
Now that I'm chasing you
I finally found the missing piece of me
Chasing you is helping me discover parts of myself
The one that starts the fire that's behind my eyes
My passion comes from within me
I finally found a whole new way to see
I gained a different perspective
And now I'm taking back my life
I'm seizing control over my existence
