Lyrics

Every word, written by AI.

Intro
(Slow acoustic guitar picking, ambient synth swell)
Yeah, yeah...
Uh, here we go again...
[Verse 1]
Midnight rolling in, shadows on the wall
Standing by the window waiting for your call
Got a cup of cold dark coffee in my hand
Trying to figure out the things I don't understand
City lights flickering down in the street
Counting up the hours that I haven't slept a week
You left your heavy jacket sitting on the chair
I can still feel your ghost hanging in the air.
[Pre-Chorus]
And we burn bright just to fade out fast
Building up a future that was never gonna last...
[Chorus]
Now I'm chasing after shadows in the midnight rain
Trying to find a medicine to numb this pain
You say that it's over, then you're at my door
Spinning in a circle that we've run before
Yeah, we hit the ceiling then we hit the floor
Saying that we're done, but we come back for more.
[Verse 2]
Tuning out the noise, turning down the lights
Got a couple memories keeping me up nights
Whisky on the table, ice is melting down
Looking for a spark in a quiet ghost town
You pulled the trigger, but you blame it on the gun
Now we're standing in the ashes looking at what we've done.
[Chorus]
Now I'm chasing after shadows in the midnight rain
Trying to find a medicine to numb this pain
You say that it's over, then you're at my door
Spinning in a circle that we've run before
Yeah, we hit the ceiling then we hit the floor
Saying that we're done, but we come back for more.
[Outro]
(808 fades down, solo acoustic guitar)
Yeah, back for more...
Just running through the dark...
Fade out...

About this track

How this trap song was made.

“Chasing After Shadows” is an AI-generated Trap song with vocals, 3:21 long. It was created in Octa from one short text description: the lyrics, melody, vocal performance, arrangement and mix were all generated from that idea, then published by @Randy Packard to the Octa community in November 2026.

Listen for the 808 sliding between notes under the kick and the hi-hats rolling in triplets; the melody stays sparse so the low end can carry the song. The lyrics on this page are the exact words the AI wrote and sang for this track.
