(Chasing the past is like chasing clouds - pointless and impossible. (He's sad from spending all night thinking about whats gone)īut baby running after you is like chasing the clouds (He is reminiscing but cant remember certain things) I spend her love until she's broke, inside (He'll do anything to have some of those moments back) The way that I've been holdin' on too tight (He wants to go back but the 'past' wont let him) He leaves his heart open for it to come back around but it never will cause its gone) My InterpretationI think that "she" could be the past. Is like chasing the clouds":-He's waiting for his love to come back even though he realizes she won't be his. My heart is untamed still":- Remember in the morning she broke up with him, this either the same day or another but either way his heart is broken but he still loves her uncontrollably. So it's a nice example of symbolism.īut it stays right here in its cage":-He wants to express his feelings but it stays caged up behind his walls. This also a play on words with spending love till she's broke.Īre the colors I can't change":- "colors" represents feelings that he can't change an is used because in writing you can use different colors.
I spend her love until she's broke inside":-The things he does to show that he cares gives her hope he'll let his guard down but he doesn't and she's broken. It's also an example of a pun, being he keeps her "warm" but time is "frozen". Is frozen":- This is the current relationship and how he shows he cares but it reminds him of his past love hence "time is frozen". I drive all night to keep her warm and time. The way that I've been holding on too tightīut nothing in between.":- He left the house that night but he was hesitant to leave because he was holding on to the relationship that doesn't exist anymore. And that hurt was one of the reasons he is restrained now. These words will be written on my stone" :-In the morning she broke up with him and he will always remember the words that hurt him before she left. In the relationship before, he "left his heart open":-He confessed his love but now "it stays right here empty for days":-It's hollow since she left. It starts of with the line "written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain":- Figuratively, he built a wall to protect his emotions but it wasn't just there because he wanted to guard himself it was because of a past relationship that went wrong. My InterpretationThis is a very beautiful song, I did literature at school so I'll try my best to explain the meaning, here goes: I spend her love until she's broken inside The story of my life, I give her hope (give her hope) The way that I've been holdin' on so tightĪnd I've been waiting for this time to come aroundīut, baby, running after you is like chasing the clouds The fire beneath my feet is burning bright The story of my life (the story of, the story of)Īlthough I am broken, my heart is untamed, still I spend her love until she's broke inside Is frozen (the story of, the story of, the story of) I drive all night to keep her warm and time She don't feel the same about us in her bones I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
