Chasing the Dragon
Zyon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We all just fade away, this jungle is too much, but we fight through every waking day, through the pain, through the strain, shadow box to the main stage, we're the main event, we are all dead, have we lost our heads? it just doesn't make sense anymore....
All my dreams are set in stone, all my goals made into gold, but i've watched them fall time and time again until i go blind, i've watched them decrystalize, i've watched them turn to ice and crash and fall and melt to the crust of this earth, its all just a ticking time bomb....
I wanna watch it all come down...
And through it all, i look to the very end and you're miles away, slowly digging my grave...
I am just melting away, you're such a killer, you're just one step away...
I have nothing, I am nothing but dirt, I want to run away from this nightmare, this sinking feeling is in my head, i feel the dragon rushing through my veins,
And tear it out...
i wanna get away,
i wanna run away...





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Chasing the Dragon" by Zyon are full of emotion and paint a vivid picture of someone who is struggling to hold onto their dreams and goals. The first stanza speaks of the pain and strain of everyday life, and the struggle to remain at the top of the game. The jungle represents the world and how it can be tough to navigate through all its trials and tribulations. But, despite all the odds against them, the person is determined to be the main event in their life, and they push through the pain and fight to survive. However, the lyrics question if the person has lost their head in the process, as it all feels meaningless and hard to comprehend.


The second stanza continues with the theme of disillusionment, with the person's dreams and goals falling apart time and time again. They feel like a ticking time bomb, waiting to explode as they watch everything they have worked hard for crumble before their eyes. The last two lines of the stanza express the desire to watch it all come down, highlighting a sense of frustration and hopelessness.


The chorus speaks of miles away, with someone slowly digging their grave, indicating that there is possibly a person or situation that is causing the singer's demise. The person feels like they are melting away and compares the other person to a killer, who is just one step away from causing their downfall. They feel like they have nothing; that they're nothing but dirt, and want to run away from their nightmare. The dragon represents their fear and anxiety, and the phrase, "tear it out," could be a reference to wanting to remove the fear from their life, or it could be an allusion to the medieval legend of killing a dragon to become a hero. The song ends with a sense of desperation and the desire to escape and run away.

We all just fade away, this jungle is too much, but we fight through every waking day, through the pain, through the strain, shadow box to the main stage, we're the main event, we are all dead, have we lost our heads? it just doesn't make sense anymore....
Life is difficult and we struggle every day, though we feel like we're losing our minds. We endure physical and emotional pain and perform in the spotlight, but we feel disconnected and lost in this world.


All my dreams are set in stone, all my goals made into gold, but i've watched them fall time and time again until i go blind, i've watched them decrystalize, i've watched them turn to ice and crash and fall and melt to the crust of this earth, its all just a ticking time bomb....
Despite my efforts, my aspirations keep failing, shattering my hopes and leaving me with nothing to show for my hard work. Everything seems fleeting and temporary, and I feel like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.


I wanna watch it all come down...
I wish to witness the destruction of everything that has disappointed me, and start anew.


And through it all, i look to the very end and you're miles away, slowly digging my grave...
Despite my struggles, I still hold onto hope that there's a better future ahead. However, the person I once relied on is now distant and feels like they're taking part in my downfall.


I am just melting away, you're such a killer, you're just one step away...
My self-worth has deteriorated to nothingness, and the one who once supported me now feels like a threat to my remaining stability.


I have nothing, I am nothing but dirt, I want to run away from this nightmare, this sinking feeling is in my head, i feel the dragon rushing through my veins,
With no sense of identity or value, I wish to escape the misery of my reality. The weight of these negative emotions makes me feel like a raging dragon consuming my senses.


And tear it out...
I want to eradicate this overwhelming feeling inside of me.


i wanna get away, i wanna run away...
I desire to escape my current state of hopelessness and start anew, away from everything that's wrong with my life.
