The Chase
Karson. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I got you in a choke hold
Love that feeling when you lose your breath
Body colder than the north pole
You'd look pretty suit, see
While you're six feet deep
Lurking in the shadows
While you kill yourself to sleep
The chase has me satisfied, I know your every move
And places that you reside
There's nothing more that I wanna do
Then play you at this game
You don't know that were one in the same
I trace your footsteps
You keep on running but i'll catch up
You don't see the walls I put in place
Baby you're all outta luck
No matter where you flee too
I ain't ever gonna leave you
Knock knock
At your door
Believe me,
I'm a sneaky fucker
You don't wanna hear about it
Talk about it
Passively aggressive
But you know you'll never get out
How's it,
I'm the only one
That's really took the time to think about it?
All I really want is to get you
The chase has me satisfied, I know your every move
And places that you reside
There's nothing more that I wanna do
Then play you at this game
You don't know that were one in the same

Why do you bother?
Why do you even make an effort?
You know I got you in a choke hold
I have complete control over you
Love that feeling when you lose your breath
I enjoy the power I have over you
Body colder than the north pole
You are emotionally distant and unresponsive
You'd look pretty suit, see
You would appear attractive if you were in a hopeless situation
While you're six feet deep
While you are in a grave
Lurking in the shadows
Stay hidden and unseen
While you kill yourself to sleep
While you destroy yourself mentally and emotionally
The chase has me satisfied, I know your every move
I am content with pursuing you and being one step ahead
And places that you reside
And the places you frequent or stay
There's nothing more that I wanna do
I desire nothing else
Then play you at this game
Than manipulate and control you in this situation
You don't know that we're one in the same
You are unaware that we are similar or alike
I trace your footsteps
I closely follow your actions and movements
You keep on running but I'll catch up
You continue to flee, but I will eventually catch you
You don't see the walls I put in place
You are oblivious to the obstacles I have set up
Baby you're all outta luck
You are unlucky and have no chance of escaping
No matter where you flee too
Regardless of where you try to escape
I ain't ever gonna leave you
I will never abandon or let you go
Knock knock
I have arrived at your door
Believe me, I'm a sneaky fucker
Trust me, I am deceitful and cunning
You don't wanna hear about it
You do not want to listen to the truth or reality
Talk about it
Discuss or address the situation
Passively aggressive
Indirectly expressing hostility or anger
But you know you'll never get out
But you are aware that you will never escape
How's it, I'm the only one
How is it that I am the only one
That's really took the time to think about it?
Who has truly considered the situation?
All I really want is to get you
All I truly desire is to possess or control you
The chase has me satisfied, I know your every move
I am content with pursuing you and being one step ahead
And places that you reside
And the places you frequent or stay
There's nothing more that I wanna do
I desire nothing else
Then play you at this game
Than manipulate and control you in this situation
You don't know that we're one in the same
You are unaware that we are similar or alike
