The Chase
Conro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Countin' down another day
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
Searching for some higher ground
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

Overall Meaning

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.
