The Chase
Dale and the ZDubs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He brought no flowers
And she never asked him why
Although she shared his love of duty
He chased the wind in search of glory
She went beside him
Till he tried to reach the sky
And love was all that stayed between them
Music always played between them
Only gifts relate between them
But they could not see them for each other
Lovers for a sister and a brother
And then at last they found the real one
When she grew tired
He held her hand and made her strong
When a treasure is yours no need to steal one
And now the children are growing
She sometimes understands
The past can't last this long
The journey is worth the price of going
And love will always stay around them
Music always play around them
And the gifts that lay around them
Tokens of the lover and the friend
Telling them that they have caught the wind
Telling them that they have caught the wind
The lyrics of Dale and the ZDubs' song "The Chase" paint a picture of a couple's journey towards finding true love and understanding in each other. The opening lines reveal that when the man first met his love interest, he did not bring her flowers, and she did not question him about it. However, they still shared a love of duty, which suggests that they were drawn to each other because of their common values.
As the song progresses, we learn that the man was driven by a desire for glory, while the woman stood by him and listened to his stories. Despite their different paths, they remained devoted to each other, and love was the bond that kept them together. The chorus emphasizes the importance of music and gifts in their relationship, even though their love was more like that of a brother and sister than traditional lovers.
Finally, the couple finds the "real one," presumably meaning that they finally found true love with each other. They grow together as a family, and the woman begins to understand the importance of their journey and the value of the love they share. The song ends by repeating the idea that love, music, and gifts are the tangible reminders of their bond, and that they have "caught the wind" of true love.
Overall, "The Chase" is a beautiful and moving tribute to the power of love and dedication. The lyrics describe a gradual journey towards understanding and commitment, with an emphasis on the importance of shared experiences and values.
