Chasing Shadows Lyrics
Eighteen and a wicker basket
red cape and an open casket
tied up to a broken lever
if I move, it hurts forever
I am not that host
but i want her.
Wolf in a winter playground
white snow to let the red out
I hear that alarms are better
than a warning, like a feather
I don't like my tone
but i want her.
(chorus)
So here, I am, I'm falling
to my knees
I'm digging at the
shadows of a ghost
when you come around
So here, I am, I'm waiting
for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that i chose
when you come around
Why sleep I can't forget it
moonrise i'm now commited
your move cause I am tethered
like a slave, i don't know better
I listen for your words
yeah, I want her
Lost boys, in a haunted forest
bright things in the maze before us
my life has now been severed
I can't bare to remember
who I was before
the day i met her.
(chorus x3)
red cape and an open casket
tied up to a broken lever
if I move, it hurts forever
I am not that host
but i want her.
white snow to let the red out
I hear that alarms are better
than a warning, like a feather
I don't like my tone
but i want her.
So here, I am, I'm falling
to my knees
I'm digging at the
shadows of a ghost
when you come around
So here, I am, I'm waiting
for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that i chose
when you come around
moonrise i'm now commited
your move cause I am tethered
like a slave, i don't know better
I listen for your words
yeah, I want her
bright things in the maze before us
my life has now been severed
I can't bare to remember
who I was before
the day i met her.

I think this is about Tom\'s chase for aliens. He tries to make it into a love song with an alternative meaning to make it more relatable to the average person, but ultimately about his alien related pursuits. \n\n"So here I am\nI\'m falling to my knees\nI\'m digging out the shadows of a ghost\nWhen you come around\nSo here I am\nI\'m waiting for the tease\nI\'m sleeping in the gallows (?) that I chose\nWhen you come around"\n\nAka- he\'s chasing for proof of aliens and it\'s breaking him because its very challenging and taboo. He is waiting for when he eventually has the proof he needs (or enough proof) and can properly release it. However he receives a lot of flack for putting his music and art on the back burner to pursue aliens.\n\nAlso Chasing Shadows is the title of his first "Sekret Machines" series book; suggesting there is a different meaning behind the lyrics
