ABOUT/MEANING: “Chasing That Feeling” follows the boys as they leave the fantasy of Neverland behind and begin searching for something meaningful within reality. They remember the wonder and exhilaration they once experienced, but rather than trying to return to the world that created those feelings, they choose to pursue new possibilities within the uncertain life now in front of them.
This marks an important change in their relationship with reality. Pain, struggle and unpredictability are no longer treated simply as reasons to retreat into fantasy; they are becoming accepted as part of the path the boys have chosen. Unlike the “sweet mirage” of Neverland, reality can hurt, but it also allows them to genuinely live, change and discover what comes next. Even knowing that pursuing what they want may leave them broken, they would rather experience that uncertainty than remain safely suspended in a world where they cannot grow.
The “feeling” they chase is therefore less a specific destination than the sense of possibility that keeps them moving. They do not yet know exactly who they will become or where their choices will lead, but they are beginning to understand that meaning cannot simply be recovered by returning to what once made them happy. It has to be discovered through new experiences in the present.
As the title track of The Name Chapter: FREEFALL, “Chasing That Feeling” turns the frightening descent of “Growing Pain” into forward momentum. The boys are still navigating an unfamiliar reality, but instead of longing to escape it, they choose to keep chasing something within it that makes the uncertainty worthwhile.
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION (translations by @translatingTXT)
I turned my back on heaven
Fall from the sky
CONNECTION: The falling imagery continues directly from “Farewell, Neverland” and “Growing Pain.” After choosing to free-fall out of Neverland and throwing himself “into reality,” the boy now describes turning his back on “heaven” and accelerating “down to earth.” The descent that began as the frightening act of leaving fantasy is becoming purposeful movement towards the reality he has chosen.
Maybe I'll miss it for good
That sweet mirage
CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: A mirage is an optical illusion that makes something appear to exist where it does not; figuratively, it describes something desirable that ultimately proves illusory or unattainable. Calling the fantasy a “sweet mirage” reflects the boys' changed understanding of Neverland: its pleasure was appealing, but its promise of escaping growth and reality could never provide a sustainable future.
Pain on my skin
SELF REFERENCE: Growing Pain: "Into the pain, throw my body, yeah"
I prepared to die
Increasing my speed
Down to earth like a meteorite
My fate, come and kiss me
I just keep on chasing that feeling
Even if I'm broken, leave me
I just keep on chasing
Chasing that feeling
Chasing that feeling
Chasing that feeling
It's all I know, it's all I know
The time when I lost my way
I was lost like a child
Finally I saw the truth, yeah
CONNECTION: “Farewell, Neverland” marks the moment the boy recognises that the beautiful fantasy was “a paradise full of lies,” admitting that he had previously wanted to turn a blind eye to the truth. Now, “finally I saw the truth” shows that he is no longer deliberately looking away. Facing reality may be painful, but he feels “so alive” precisely after choosing to see it clearly.
And I feel so alive
Growing pains all over my body
CONNECTION: “Growing pains all over my body” directly carries the central metaphor of “Growing Pain” into the title track: the pain of the fall remains, but it no longer prevents the boy from continuing forward.
Feels like I'm on fire
Even if it hurts a little
Burn and fall like a shooting star
My fate, come and kiss me
I just keep on chasing that feeling
Even if I'm broken, leave me
I just keep on chasing
Chasing that feeling
Chasing that feeling
Chasing that feeling
It's all I know, it's all I know
I'm chasing
Chasing
I'm chasing
I turn my back on heaven
Fall from the sky
And everything's gonna bе alright
My fate, come and kiss me
I just keep on chasing that feeling
Even if I'm broken, leave me
I just keep on chasing
Chasing that feeling
Chasing that feeling
Chasing that feeling
It's all I know, it's all I know
I keep chasing, chasing
I'm chasing
Chasing
Chasing that feeling
