Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
If it sounds right
I'll repeat
If it looks good to me
I will make it mine
For the night
If it feels good
I will chase it
If it looks good to me
I will make it mine
For the night
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
I see my mother
She's at the window
She's letting down her long black hair
She won't let me in there
I see my mother
She's at the window
She's letting down her long black hair
She won't let me in there
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
I swallow whiskey, I take to powder
I drink the flowers, but I am still so, so sad
And that makes you feel bad
I take to whiskey, I swallow powder
I drink the flowers, but I am still so, so sad
And that makes you feel bad
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
Somebody else, somebody else, somebody else
All by myself
I'll repeat
If it looks good to me
I will make it mine
For the night
If it feels good
I will chase it
If it looks good to me
I will make it mine
For the night
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
I see my mother
She's at the window
She's letting down her long black hair
She won't let me in there
I see my mother
She's at the window
She's letting down her long black hair
She won't let me in there
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
I swallow whiskey, I take to powder
I drink the flowers, but I am still so, so sad
And that makes you feel bad
I take to whiskey, I swallow powder
I drink the flowers, but I am still so, so sad
And that makes you feel bad
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
All by myself
Oh what a web I have woven myself in
I'm always chasing after somebody else
Somebody else, somebody else, somebody else
All by myself
