Conro received a wave of praise from his electro house and future bass production style. With his Connecting The Dots EP, Conro unveiled the first of many chart-toppers in his future in“Close”; which hit Billboard’s Dance Airplay Chart at #17. Though this style of music has brought him plenty of success, Conro chose to follow a style that aligned with his core ethos he wanted to convey to a wider audience: a vibrant, funky, and instrumentation driven soundscape while implementing his own impressive vocals.
From his newly forged sound, Conro has amassed a collection of hit tracks that display his musical versatility. With the release of “Me”, Conro saw firsthand the impact of his music worldwide. His success only grew with “Take Me There” breaking way rising to #12 on Billboard’s Dance Airplay Chart shortly followed by “Trippin” rising to #7.
With Conro’s debut album, Level Days, set to drop May 2020, Conro expands on his signature style and sound showcasing his versatility across genres from dance, indie pop and everything in between. He continues to embrace all the musical influences whilst staying true and maintaining his widely loved sound.
The Chase
Conro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make a wish and blow away
You'll go
Further than the Milky Way
In my mind I'm trying hard to reel in
All these problems that've been done
I've been knowin' are truly wrong
Just looking for something I can hold on to
Just looking for something I can hold on to
I've got an angel on my side
And a devil on the other side
I'm trying hard but go nowhere
Like taking flight without no air
All these problems that've been done
I've been knowin' are truly wrong
Searching for some higher ground
Just looking for something I can hold on to
Just looking for something I can hold on to
All these problems that've been done
I've been knowin' are truly wrong
Searching for some higher ground
Just looking for something I can hold on to
The lyrics of Conro's song "The Chase" are reflective of the internal struggles one can have with one's self. The song speaks to the desire to escape the difficulties of life, to "blow away" the problems that keep haunting us. There is a seeming inability to move forward despite the wish to do so, and the feeling of being stuck is reinforced by the line "I'm trying hard but go nowhere, like taking flight without no air."
The dichotomy between good and evil is also evident, as the singer speaks of having an angel and a devil on either side. This can be interpreted as a person's own conscience, the internal struggle between right and wrong. The chorus signifies a search for something to hold on to, something to anchor oneself amidst the chaos and confusion that feels unyielding.

Countin' down another day
Reflecting on the end of another day
Make a wish and blow away
Trying to imagine a better future and let go of present troubles
You'll go
Believing in one's ability to achieve great things
Further than the Milky Way
Thinking big and dreaming of going beyond what is considered possible
In my mind I'm trying hard to reel in
Attempting to control and solve one's own problems
All these problems that've been done
Acknowledging past mistakes that have caused current issues
I've been knowin' are truly wrong
Recognizing that some actions were morally or ethically incorrect
Searching for some higher ground
Seeking a better path or solution
Just looking for something I can hold on to
Desiring stability and security in an uncertain situation
I've got an angel on my side
Feeling like there is someone or something positive supporting and guiding oneself
And a devil on the other side
Being aware of the negative influences or temptations that exist
I'm trying hard but go nowhere
Struggling to make progress despite putting in effort
Like taking flight without no air
Feeling stuck or limited despite wanting to move forward
All these problems that've been done
Repeating the acknowledgment of past mistakes and their consequences
I've been knowin' are truly wrong
Reiterating the understanding that certain actions have been immoral or unethical
Searching for some higher ground
Echoing the desire for a better solution or path forward
Just looking for something I can hold on to
Repeating the need for stability and security in an uncertain situation
