Chasing Light Lyrics

[Intro]
There's no light

[Verse 1]
Ooh, down and out as darkness falls
So much more than he can take
Oh, shakes the cage in deep withdrawals
Come on, give the boy a break

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, he will break
He's no mistake

[Chorus]
Chase that light, lean on me!
Face that fight, lean on me!
Catch your fall, lean on me!
End it all, lean on me!
Struggle on, 'cause without darkness
Without darkness, there's no light

[Verse 2]
Ooh, lost his way through wicked streets
But he is someone's little boy
Oh, all the love a young one needs
Thoughtless еlders have destroyеd

See Metallica Live

Get tickets as low as $46

[Pre-Chorus]
It is destroyed
He's just a boy

[Chorus]
Chase that light, lean on me!
Face that fight, lean on me!
Catch your fall, lean on me!
End it all, lean on me!
Struggle on, 'cause without darkness
Without darkness, there's no light

[Bridge]
One step down
Block it all from view
One step down
With apathy, look straight through
One step down
Turn so you won't see
One step down
He's just like you and me

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Chase that light, lean on me!
Face that fight, lean on me!
Catch your fall, lean on me!
End it all, lean on me!
Struggle on, 'cause without darkness
Without darkness, there's no light

[Outro]
There's no light

About

This song bio is unreviewed

The 8th track of Metallica’s 2023 72 Seasons album, ‘Chasing Light’ is yet another mid-tempo, catchy song.

The protagonist of the song goes from boyhood and learns to grow up by ‘chasing light’, chasing one’s goals, dreams and ambitions. Yet, through chasing his dreams, he will experience setbacks, the darkness. It’s a known law in life, there is always a balance between opposing forces; without struggle and sacrifice, you cannot achieve your goals (without darkness, there’s no light).

‘Chasing Light’ is one of two songs that begins with vocals before any instruments play (the other song being Fuel from 1997’s Reload).
