The Chase
SayWeCanFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wore myself thin, I couldn′t find a way to fix it.
Walked a fragile line between my body and my design.
Broke my fragile spine, but I won't last alone this time.
I, I won′t, I won't.
I, I won't, I won′t.
Time won′t slow down for nothin', not even for me.
Lost my soul in the chase now it ain′t worth a thing
And I know I was wrong to believe that the stars ever fell down for me.
I gave everything but everything was taken from me,
Sold my spirit for poison and a happy ending.
Let the devil in, eventually he'll give you something.
Share your secrets, eventually you′ll learn to love him.
I, I won't, I won′t (love him so).
I, I won't, I won't.
Found myself in the water up to my knees.
Time won′t slow down for nothin′, not even for me.
Lost my soul in the chase now it ain't worth a thing.
And I know I was wrong to believe that the stars ever fell down for me.
Found myself in the water up to my knees.
Time won′t slow down for nothin', not even for me.
Lost my soul in the chase now it ain′t worth a thing
And I know I was wrong to believe that the stars ever fell down for me.
The lyrics to SayWeCanFly's song The Chase portray a struggle with self-worth and a pursuit for greatness. The singer has tried everything in their power to succeed, yet still finds themselves feeling inadequate. They have pushed themselves to their limit, both physically and mentally, but cannot find a way to fix their problems. The line "Broke my fragile spine, but I won't last alone this time" suggests they have hit rock bottom but will not let themselves be defeated.
The second verse reveals that the singer has lost their soul in the chase for success and has made some questionable choices along the way, including selling their spirit for a temporary happiness. They have let the devil into their life, which leads to the theme of temptation and the idea that sharing your secrets can lead to eventual acceptance.
The chorus repeats the line "Found myself in the water up to my knees," which could be interpreted as being in too deep or overwhelmed by their situation. "Lost my soul in the chase now it ain't worth a thing" conveys the idea that the pursuit of greatness was not worth sacrificing their values and their true self for.
