Chicago
Canon Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep you searching for the thrill of it all
I put my hands up to the face in the dark
You never liked it till the killing was done
You better watch out
You better watch out

The place that I hold in my heart
I don't mind
When a feeling is over
The meaning is closer

And even though
The place that I hold in my heart
I don't mind
When a feeling is over
The meaning is closer

I'll make you stand up to the face in the dark
I'll put my hands up in a separate part
You never liked it till the killing was done
You never watch out
You never watch out

Even if it ended would it ever really ever end
Even if it ended would it ever really ever
Even if it ended would it ever really ever
I don't know
I don't know

The place that I hold in my heart
I don't mind




When a feeling is over
The meaning is closer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Chicago" by Canon Blue present a complex relationship dynamic that may involve some form of illicit behavior or even manipulation. The singer, who may be playing the role of the seducer, speaks to their partner about the excitement they both feel from whatever risky behavior they are engaged in. However, there is a sense of danger here, as the partner is warned to "watch out" repeatedly. The lyrics suggest that there is some kind of addiction or compulsion involved in this situation, as both parties seem to be drawn to the "thrill of it all."


The lyrics also convey a sense of ambivalence and uncertainty, especially in the chorus. The singer mentions a "place" they hold in their heart, but it's unclear what this place represents. It could be a literal location, like the city of Chicago, or a metaphor for something else entirely. Regardless, the singer seems to be grappling with conflicting emotions. They don't mind when the "feeling" associated with this place is over, but they also suggest that the "meaning" it represents is getting closer, rather than further away. This could imply that the singer is becoming more attached to something or someone they originally sought out purely for excitement.


Overall, "Chicago" presents a complex and intriguing picture of a relationship that is full of deception, danger, and uncertainty. The lyrics leave much to the imagination in terms of what exactly is going on between the two parties, but they also give listeners a lot to think about in terms of the psychological and emotional dynamics at play.
