Chasing Shadows is a haunting melody that explores the depths of sleep deprivation through powerful extended metaphors and allegorical storytelling.

Its ethereal soundscape and poignant lyrics serve as a reminder of the need for peace and the consequences of ignoring our bodies' call for rest.
Verse 1:
In the silence of the night, I lie awake,
A restless heart, a mind that’s set to break.
The shadows creep, whispering my name,
In this sleepless dance, it’s all a cruel game.
Chorus:
Chasing shadows through the dark,
Every tick of the clock ignites a spark.
In a dreamless void, I long to find,
A fleeting moment to escape this bind.
Verse 2:
Like a painter with no colors on the floor,
I wander through illusions, always wanting more.
The echoes of the dawn, they fade away,
While I’m lost in the twilight, night turns into day.
Chorus:
Chasing shadows through the dark,
Every tick of the clock ignites a spark.
In a dreamless void, I long to find,
A fleeting moment to escape this bind.
Bridge:
These sleepless nights, a battleground,
Where thoughts collide and no peace is found.
An endless maze, I run in vain,
Each corner turned, I meet my pain.
Chorus:
Chasing shadows through the dark,
Every tick of the clock ignites a spark.
In a dreamless void, I long to find,
A fleeting moment to escape this bind.
Outro:
So I chase these shadows, night after night,
In the abyss, I search for the light.
But as dawn breaks, will I finally sleep,
Or will these shadows, in my mind, forever keep?
