Chase the Tear Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DuncanIdahoTPF 

Cover art for Chase the Tear lyrics by Portishead

This about a person who's life is trapped in a gravity-well of soul-crushing mediocrity.

They're only living life to "hold off tomorrow's sorrow." They always hold onto what's safe, "never let go," and before they know it, their life, "it's over, it's over."

It's my greatest fear.
