— Uma das músicas mais intensas dentro do álbum de Gert Danvers, Chasing Shadows é uma metáfora para a ansiedade, uma doença psicológica comum no cotidiano e que tem como uma de suas principais características fazer com que o indivíduo assuma a culpa de problemas do passado. A grande questão sobre “o que poderia ter sido” permeia todas extensões da vida e é representada por Gert através de uma homenagem singela à Johnny e June Cash. A síntese da faixa é simples: perseguir sombras daqueles que já se foram é a realidade de muitos que ainda vivem.
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I catch myself thinking of you
A sparrow trying to reach the blue
Do you miss the old times?
Life was good when we were partners in crime
But the good times are over now
We’re grown up, it’s not up to us to sow
[Chorus]
I saw you dancing in the hallway
What once was love now it’s stray
Did we fight? I don’t recall
I still remember the smell of your shawl
You’re a ghost from the past
You turn a perfect midsummer day into an overcast
[Verse 2]
I had high expectations for us
Maybe our break was a universe cuss
What comfort my heart is that
We’re under the same stars that I’m looking at
I’m sorry for whatever I’ve done
I’m going crazy thinking that you could be the one
[Chorus]
I saw you dancing in the hallway
What once was love now it’s stray
Did we fight? I don’t recall
I still remember the smell of your shawl
You’re a ghost from the past
You turn a perfect midsummer day into an overcast
[Verse 3]
Your black hair, your pale skin
You played my mind like a violin
This wasn’t supposed to be a love song
I just needed to show how it’s to be lonely
Hope you’re having a good life with someone that loves you wholly
[Chorus]
I saw you dancing in the hallway
What once was love now it’s stray
Did we fight? I don’t recall
I still remember the smell of your shawl
You’re a ghost from the past
You turn a perfect midsummer day into an overcast
