Discover the story of the song > Chasing Shadows – Santigold

The protagonist is reflecting on the past year and questioning if she accomplished everything she wanted to. She acknowledges that time waits for nobody and encourages herself to stay focused and not get sidetracked by old dreams. She admits that she takes the long way and has high standards for herself, but she can't have it any other way. She's always known that she'd be successful and isn't afraid to travel or attend big events, but at times she feels lonely and wonders if anyone remembers what she says.
