Chasing the Bullet Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been working like a dog, I need some time
I've been running 'round in circles, out of my mind
I got to pack my bags and get away
I've had about enough, I'm not gonna stay

[Chorus]
We're chasing, chasing the bullet
Chasing, cha-cha-cha-chasing the bullet
Chasing the bullet

[Verse 2]
I need a long vacation, a little bit of therapy
I'm not gonna get it here until I'm running free
The clock keeps ticking on the wall, I'm running out of time
Just staring into space, I need a sign

[Chorus]
We're chasing, chasing the bullet
Chasing, cha-cha-cha-chasing the bullet
Chasing the bullet
Bullet!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Everybody's left, I'm on my own
I'm climbing up the walls, I wanna go home
The phones are ringing off the hook, the world is on the line
I'm running 'round in circles, out of my mind

[Chorus]
We're chasing, chasing the bullet
Chasing, chasing the bullet
We're chasing, chasing the bullet
Chasing, cha-cha-cha-chasing the bullet
Chasing the bullet
Chasing the bullet
Chasing the bullet

[Chorus]
We're chasing, chasing the bullet
Chasing, cha-cha-cha-chasing the bullet
Chasing the bullet

[Chorus]
We're chasing, chasing the bullet
Chasing, cha-cha-cha-chasing the bullet
Chasing the bullet
Bullet!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

According to Biff Byford, the song was written about their fun experience making the album and that "it's about rushing, rushing to get something finished." You can also view it as that feeling of being overwhelmed and trapped in the routine of everyday life and yearning for freedom and escapism. It serves well as a reflection on the desire for liberation and a break from the daily grind, resonating with anyone feeling trapped or overwhelmed by the pressures of life.
