No Chaser
Palisades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You caught the light from my eyes
I must be losing my mind
You take my breath away and I don't do this normally
I'll take a chance and show you everything that we could be
I'm not the one to chase
I might never see you again
I'll take the leap if I can
Can't let you go without my hand

So I'm doing something that I never do
Working up the nerve to go and talk to you
Down a couple shots before they kick us out
It's too late to turn around
So I'll tell her like

'Cause you know I'm just a little too drunk
To be talking like this
If I don't then I'll regret it
With someone like you, so amazing
'Cause you know I'm just a little fucked up
To be acting like this
Ditch your friends and who you came with
Let me show you some things that I can't explain
Can't explain

Let me whisper into your ear and tell you
How you put other girls to shame
Come with me after this
To an after party, miss
Where nobody is invited except you and your hips
I think we've got the chemistry
To make this thing take shape
Don't you?

So I'm doing something that I never do
Working up the nerve to go and talk to you
Down a couple shots before they kick us out
It's too late to turn around
So I'll tell her like

'Cause you know I'm just a little too drunk
To be talking like this
If I don't then I'll regret it
With someone like you, so amazing
'Cause you know I'm just a little fucked up
To be acting like this
Ditch your friends and who you came with
Let me show you some things that I can't explain

I'm sure you get this all the time
I don't mean to be out of line
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I wanna finish what we start
I wanna take all of your heart
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

I wanna feel your touch
I wanna know you're mine
I won't ask too much

'Cause you know I'm just a little too drunk
To be talking like this
If I don't then I'll regret it
Won't forget a night like this

'Cause you know I'm just a little too drunk
To be talking like this
If I don't then I'll regret it
With someone like you, so amazing
'Cause you know I'm just a little fucked up
To be acting like this




Ditch your friends and who you came with
Let me show you some things that I can't explain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Palisades' song "No Chaser" tell a story of a person who has been mesmerized by someone else's beauty and grace, which has caught the light from their eyes. Despite being hesitant, they are taking a chance and showing this person the things that they could be together. They have been downing shots to build up the nerve to talk to them because they know that they are just a little too drunk and a little fucked up to be acting and talking like this. They want this amazing person to ditch their friends and come with them to a private after-party where they can show them things that they cannot explain. They do not want this person to walk away and claim their full heart and touch.


The song speaks to the vulnerability of approaching someone you are attracted to but also acknowledges the hesitation that comes with being under the influence. The lyrics depict someone who is not in control of their emotions and is taking a chance on someone they find amazing despite the potential for rejection.

One of the most underrated Palisades songs ever

ProjectPostmorrow

Issues, pop-metal that makes you emotional

Palisades, pop-metal that makes you wanna party

Exocraze

The studio versions of these songs sound really poppy, sure, but they're actually pretty damn good live in my opinion. They put on a hell of a show.
