The Chase
Savlonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suits your shape
Telltale signs of
Your best days
Empty chair
Suits your shape
Telltale signs of
Your best days
Run, with the wind behind you
Hide, where you know we'll find you
Chase, it's the part we love, though
Where did the time go?
Speed up, you're fighting hard
Quiet, we feel every pause
You're starting too slow
Where did the time go?
Run, with the wind behind you
Hide, where you know we'll find you
Chase, it's the part we love, though
Where did the time go?
Speed up, you're fighting hard
Quiet, we feel every pause
You're starting too slow
Where did the time go?
Face to film
Hunting time
They won't know it
'Till they're mine
This is not
What I want
Need to stop,
But I can't
Run, with the wind behind you
Hide, where you know we'll find you
Chase, it's the part we love, though
Where did the time go?
Speed up, you're fighting hard
Quiet, we feel every pause
You're starting too slow
Where did the time go?
Run, with the wind behind you
Hide, where you know we'll find you
Chase, it's the part we love, though
Where did the time go?
Speed up, you're fighting hard
Quiet, we feel every pause
You're starting too slow
Where did the time go?
Face to face
Look inside
You can't hide it
Though you tried
Quicken pulse
Beautiful escape
Getting faster
Closing in
Run, with the wind behind you
Hide, where you know we'll find you
Chase, it's the part we love, though
Where did the time go?
Speed up, you're fighting hard
Quiet, we feel every pause
You're starting too slow
Where did the time go?
Run, with the wind behind you
Hide, where you know we'll find you
Chase, it's the part we love, though
Where did the time go?
Speed up, you're fighting hard
Quiet, we feel every pause
You're starting too slow
Where did the time go?
In Savlonic’s song “The Chase,” the repeated use of the phrase “empty chair suits your shape” seems to suggest a sense of absence or emptiness. The “telltale signs of your best days” could signify a past where the person in the chair was in their prime, but that time has passed. The song then addresses the act of running away, and how the chase itself is what we love, even though we don’t know where the time will go. The lyrics encourage the subject to speed up, urging them to fight hard and hide where they know they’ll be found.
Line by Line Meaning
Empty chair
The absence of someone who was there before
Suits your shape
Their absence fits well in the chair
Telltale signs of
Evidence left behind that tells a story
Your best days
Proof that things were better then
Run, with the wind behind you
Escape, using the advantages you have
Hide, where you know we'll find you
Try to evade, knowing it won't work
Chase, it's the part we love, though
Hunt, the thrill of the hunt is what we enjoy
Where did the time go?
Wondering how it all went by so quickly
Speed up, you're fighting hard
Push yourself, you're in a battle
Quiet, we feel every pause
Even the slightest break in the action is noticeable
You're starting too slow
Your beginning isn't aggressive enough
Face to film
Meeting the camera, being caught on tape
Hunting time
Chasing after the moments missed
They won't know it
Others won't realize what you're after
Till they're mine
Until you've caught up to the lost time
This is not
This isn't what you want
What I want
The hunter's desire for more time is not what they truly want
Need to stop,
The hunt needs to end
But I can't
But the hunter can't let it go
Face to face
Meeting the hunted
Look inside
See the truth within
You can't hide it
You can't conceal what's real
Though you tried
Even if you attempt to hold something back
Quicken pulse
The heart racing
Beautiful escape
The moment of freedom from the struggle
Getting faster
The chase is intensifying
Closing in
Getting closer to reaching the goal
Where did the time go?
Reflecting on how quickly things have happened
