Second Chances
Shades Apart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From far away I recognize, her silhouette with someone else
The temperature outside, thaws me and frees up the memory of everything so far behind
Second chances, still waiting
Second chance is still waiting there for me
I count down the miles, headlights hypnotize
I let it slip right by
Scared of facing insecurities I locked away so far inside
Second chances, still waiting
Second chance is still waiting there for me
I have memorized, all the things she said
And I rehearse it line by line, syllables of falling breath
The static on the line
Loneliness as open as the air between the highway and the sky
Second chances, still waiting
Second chance is still waiting there for me
The opening lines of Shades Apart's "Second Chances" describes the singer outside, gazing at the sky as the streetlights offer a dimly lit view of the neighborhood. From a distance, he recognizes the silhouette of someone he used to be close with and longs for a second chance with her. The singer counts down the miles as he drives, the headlights hypnotize in the dark as he realizes how much this person used to believe in him. However, he admits that he let their relationship slip by and was too scared to confront his insecurities that he locked away deep inside.
The chorus of "Second Chances" tells us that he still longs for a second chance with her. He has memorized all the things she's said and practices them syllable by syllable, longing for the moments they shared in the past. The static on the line symbolizes the emotional distance between them and loneliness that is felt between the highway and the sky. The song's melancholic tone and an overall sense of regret provide a sense of longing for something that may not be attainable.
