The Chase
The Rock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes when I'm dreaming,
Of a special secret place,
I love inside of me,
Hiding me.

Then I get the feeling,
There's a different me appearing,
And it's time to be,
More than me.

I can chase the wind.
I can race the rain.
I can trace the track a flash
of lightning makes and
make it flash again.

I can taste the sun.
I can taste the sky.
I can taste the world that
races by me as my heart begins to fly.
I can chase the wind.

Sometimes there's a part of me,
That wells up in the heart of me,
And wants to fly.
Fly up high.

When I feel the feeling start,
I let it take me from the heart,
And by and by,
I can fly.

I can chase the wind
I can chase the wind
I can race the rain
I can race the rain.

I can trace the track a flash of lighting makes
and make it flash again

I can taste the sun
I can taste the sun.
I can taste the sky
I can taste the sky

I can taste the world that races by me as my heart begins to fly.

I can chase the wind
I can chase the wind
I can chase the wind




I can chase the wind
I can chase the wind.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Chase" by The Rock explore the theme of escapism and the desire to break free from the limitations of everyday life. The song describes a dreamlike state where the singer envisions a secret place within themselves, a place of solace and hiding. This inner world represents a personal sanctuary, where the individual can separate themselves from the constraints of reality.


As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest a transformation taking place within the singer. They feel the emergence of a different version of themselves, prompting them to transcend their ordinary existence and become something more. The lyrics convey a sense of self-discovery and the urge to explore and evolve beyond the limitations of their own identity.


The chorus of the song repeats the lines "I can chase the wind, I can race the rain," emphasizing the singer's determination and ability to pursue the intangible and seemingly impossible. This imagery reflects their desire to overcome any obstacle in their path. The mention of tracing the track a flash of lightning makes and making it flash again implies a sense of rekindling lost inspiration or harnessing the power of moments of inspiration.


The second verse delves deeper into the idea of flight as a metaphor for freedom. The lyrics emphasize the longing within the singer to transcend their current state and soar to greater heights. The feeling that builds up within them serves as a catalyst for liberation, allowing them to fly and escape the confines of their ordinary existence.


In essence, "The Chase" by The Rock can be interpreted as an expression of the human desire for liberation and the pursuit of personal growth. The lyrics convey the notion that we all possess an inner world where we can seek solace and break free from the restrictions of our daily lives. The song encourages embracing the transformative power within ourselves and embracing the pursuit of our dreams, no matter how elusive they may seem.
