The Chase
Microwave Romeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pack your bags start running
out of the coma
now, get down on the ground
face it kiss it
taste like you never did
feel it inside your skin
roaming around, leeching
chase the reflection
follow it with your eyes
find it where it hides
don't let it get away
chase the reflection
follow it with your eyes
find it where it hides
don't let it get away
slide trough the stairs
come to find it under your sight
the faceless, the one that never smiles
put it in a ring
and make it bright
make it shine like a god
make it rise into the skies
chase the reflection
follow it with your eyes
find it where it hides
don't let it get away
chase the reflection
follow it with your eyes
find it where it hides
don't let it get away
you move like a centipede
you watch like part of the creed
one ear open
walking trough the stained floor
you never felt this before
but you're sure it's dejavu
falling into place
behind all the walls we'll find you
it roams like worms
and you change
its like it never hapenned
the surrounding feels
like it's never discovered
no horizon, no distance
all the pieces keeping together
and in chorus, now, falling apart
chase the reflection
follow it with your eyes
find it where it hides
don't let it get away
chase the reflection
follow it with your eyes
find it where it hides
don't let it get away
chase the reflection
follow it with your eyes
find it where it hides
don't let it get away
chase the reflection
follow it with your eyes
find it where it hides
don't let it get away
don't let it get away
don't let it get away
The lyrics to "The Chase" by Microwave Romeo convey a sense of urgency and pursuit, both literally and metaphorically. The opening lines, "you ruined it, pack your bags start running," suggest a break or betrayal that has occurred, prompting the listener to take action and flee from a negative situation. The reference to being "out of the coma" implies that the singer is finally waking up and facing reality, urged to confront and embrace the truth ("get down on the ground, face it kiss it, taste like you never did").
The repeated motif of chasing reflections throughout the song symbolizes the quest for self-discovery and understanding. The reflection represents a hidden aspect of oneself or an elusive truth that needs to be pursued and confronted. The lyrics encourage actively seeking out this reflection and not allowing it to escape, emphasizing the importance of introspection and self-awareness.
As the song progresses, the imagery becomes more mysterious and surreal, with references to faceless figures and shifting surroundings. The lines "slide through the stairs, come to find it under your sight, the faceless, the one that never smiles" evoke a sense of disorientation and ambiguity, suggesting a journey through unknown or unsettling territory in search of clarity and illumination.
The final lines, "don't let it get away," repeated insistently throughout the song, serve as a powerful reminder to persevere in the pursuit of self-discovery and personal growth. The urgency in the lyrics and the relentless determination to chase the reflection reflect a deeper message about facing challenges head-on, embracing change, and not letting opportunities for growth slip away. Overall, "The Chase" by Microwave Romeo is a poetic exploration of introspection, transformation, and the ongoing quest for self-understanding in the face of turmoil and uncertainty.
