The lyrics to O.P.B.'s song "The Chase" depict one-sided infatuation and the fear of rejection in a romantic relationship. The singer acknowledges the other person's allure and attractiveness, using words like "fancy" and "dancer" to describe them. Despite constantly trying to get their attention, the singer knows that the other person will not respond. There is a feeling of being ignored and overlooked.
The singer confesses to having strong feelings for the other person, even though they consistently ignore them. They express their hesitation to pursue the other person because they fear being rejected. They don't want to be the one to chase after someone who may just play with their emotions. The fear of rejection is so great that the singer would rather not take the risk of showing their feelings and potentially getting hurt.
However, there is a glimmer of hope in the chorus. The singer wonders what would happen if the other person were to return their love. They imagine a scenario where their feelings are reciprocated, hoping that it could be a possibility. The repetition of "awe yea yea" in the chorus signifies the longing and anticipation for that reciprocated love.
Overall, "The Chase" portrays the vulnerability and uncertainty that come with pursuing someone who seems out of reach. It captures the internal struggle between wanting to take a chance on love and the fear of being rejected.
