The Chase
Serena Z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You are still the old one
Want you to change
But what can I say
Press the drink up to your lips
Cuz love can't beat a cold one
I feel so strange
Living these days
Every single time I try
To make a spark I lose my mind
Am I stuck in this life
Why'd you hang me out to dry
I didn't need those other guys
But you made up your mind
And I'm done with the chase
Can't feel a thing
You will never fix your shit
You'd rather dip than deal with it
It gets to your head
Face down in your bed
This is far from picturesque
When you can't even get undressed
If you can't act your age
Don't expect me to stay
I knew it was coming
I felt it from the start
Every single time I try
To make a spark I lose my mind
Am I stuck in this life
Why'd you hang me out to dry
I didn't need those other guys
But you made up your mind
And I'm done with the chase
Can't feel a thing
And I'm done with the chase
Can't feel a thing
Oh every single time I try
To make a spark I lose my mind
Am I stuck in this life
Why'd you hang me out to dry
I didn't need those other guys
But you made up your mind
And I'm done with the chase
Can't feel a thing
And I'm done with the chase
Can't feel a thing
The lyrics of Serena Z's song "The Chase" reflect a sense of frustration and disillusionment with a relationship that has grown stagnant and toxic. The singer addresses a partner who has not changed despite her hopes for a transformation. She expresses a desire for the partner to improve but acknowledges the futility of trying to change someone who is stuck in destructive patterns, symbolized by the reference to drinking and avoidance of emotional intimacy with lines like "Press the drink up to your lips" and "You'd rather dip than deal with it."
The singer laments feeling strange and isolated in the relationship, detailing the moments of trying to ignite passion or connection only to feel her efforts fall flat and her emotions spiral out of control. The repeated refrain of "Every single time I try / To make a spark I lose my mind" underscores the fruitless nature of her attempts to salvage the relationship and the toll it has taken on her mental wellbeing.
As the lyrics progress, the singer questions her own choices and wonders if she is trapped in a cycle of unfulfilling relationships. She expresses a sense of betrayal and abandonment with the lines "Why'd you hang me out to dry / I didn't need those other guys," highlighting the partner's decision to prioritize their own needs over the singer's.
Ultimately, the singer reaches a breaking point and decides to walk away from the chase, recognizing that she cannot continue to invest in a relationship that is no longer fulfilling or healthy. The repeated assertion of being "done with the chase" and being unable to "feel a thing" suggests a sense of numbness and resignation, as well as a newfound resolve to prioritize her own well-being and move on from a relationship that has run its course.
