Laidback Luke & GTA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody fronts, everybody talks,
It's all the same thing, when the spotlight fades.
Running over time stuck in overdrive,
It doesn't phase me, cuz it's on the way.
Everybody fronts, everybody talks,
It's all the same thing, when the spotlight fades.
Running over time stuck in overdrive,
It doesn't phase me, cuz it's all about

Yea it's all about
Yea it's all about, The Chase.
Everybody fronts, everybody talks,
It's all the same thing, when the spotlight fades.
Running over time stuck in overdrive,
It doesn't phase me, cuz it's all about The Chase.
Everybody fronts, everybody talks,
It's all the same thing, when the spotlight fades.
Running over time stuck in overdrive,
It doesn't phase me, cuz it's on the way.
Everybody fronts, everybody talks,
It's all the same thing when the spotlight fades.
Running over time stuck in overdrive,
It doesn't phase me, cuz it's all about
Cuz it's all about, The Chase.
Yea it's all about, The Chase.
Cuz it's all about, The Chase.
Yea it's all about,

Yea it's all about the Chase.
Cuz it's all about

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Laidback Luke & GTA's song The Chase touch upon the idea of people trying to maintain a certain image in public while hiding their true selves. The line "Everybody fronts, everybody talks" refers to how everyone tries to present themselves in a certain way in order to fit in with social norms or expectations. However, when the "spotlight fades" and there is no need to maintain that image, people are still running on "overdrive," unable to slow down or be real with themselves and others.

Despite this, the singer of the song is not phased by this behavior, as they are more concerned with "the chase." This could refer to a variety of things, such as pursuing a passion, achieving a goal, or simply living life to the fullest. In this way, the song suggests that staying true to oneself and chasing after what truly matters is more important than trying to fit in with others.

In summary, The Chase is a song about individuals who pretend to be someone that they are not in order to fit in, but the main character is not affected by it and instead wishes to chase their dreams and be authentic.
