Chasing A Dream
Goot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been less than exceptional
I've been less than great
I come up with my own advice
Which I like to take

It would be nice to be noticed
For the work I put in
But now I will just face the facts

That I can never win

Wasting my time
Chasing a dream
Am I doing fine?

Happy as can be
Alone

Overall Meaning

In "Chasing A Dream," Goot sings about his struggles as a musician trying to make it big in the industry. He candidly admits to being "less than exceptional" and "less than great" despite his hard work and dedication. However, he points out that he has learned to take his own advice and finds solace in pursuing his dreams even if he may never achieve full recognition. The line "wasting my time, chasing a dream" speaks to the constant feeling of uncertainty and doubt that artists often face, wondering if their efforts will ever pay off.

Despite the struggles and obstacles that come with chasing a dream, Goot ends the song with a sense of contentment, asking himself if he is "happy as can be" even if he is alone. It's a poignant moment that speaks to the idea that true fulfillment comes from pursuing one's passions and finding joy in the journey, rather than just focusing on the end goal.

Overall, "Chasing A Dream" is a relatable and honest look at the struggles of being an aspiring musician in a highly competitive industry. It's a reminder of the importance of finding joy in the process and staying true to one's own path.

Line by Line Meaning

I've been less than exceptional
I haven't been as good as I could be

I've been less than great
I haven't been excellent

I come up with my own advice Which I like to take
I make my own suggestions and follow them

It would be nice to be noticed For the work I put in
I'd appreciate recognition for my efforts

But now I will just face the facts That I can never win
I accept the reality that I may not succeed

Wasting my time Chasing a dream
I spend my days pursuing an improbable goal

Am I doing fine? Happy as can be
I wonder if I'm content with the life I'm living

Alone
I am by myself
