About This Track

'Chasing Thunder' by Kesha is a 2020 pop song from the album 'High Road'. The lyrics tell a story passed down from a grandmother figure, about a girl who never grows up, always stays wild, and faces fear fearlessly. That spirit becomes a guiding inner presence, captured in the line, 'that ghost inside of me'. The song also frames the narrator as something untamed and chosen, insisting she is not a tame, cultivated rose, but a wildflower plucked from the rest.

"Chasing Thunder" is a track by Kesha, from the album High Road, released 31st January 2020. The track is 3:44 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Kesha.

Lyrics

Chasing Thunder

I heard a story years ago
From my grandmama, rest her soul
'Bout a girl who'd never grow up
Never grow old, oh
She was wild, she was free
Faced the fire fearlessly
That's the spirit, that's the ghost inside of me

Baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
Out of all of them, you chose one who'll run free forever
Doesn't mean I'm lost, I just like to wander
Got that gypsy blood, always chasing thunder

Always chasing thunder
Always chasing thunder
Always chasing thunder
Always chasing thunder
Chasing thunder, always chasing thunder
Got that gypsy blood, always chasing thunder

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Got that gypsy blood, always chasing thunder

I remember when twenty-five
Was forever in my mind
I wish I could go back in time
Oh, I would if I could, but I can't
To myself that life flies by
We all live, and we all die
Keep the sun and moon and stars, girl, in your eyes

Baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
Out of all of them, you chose one who'll run free forever
Doesn't mean I'm lost, I just like to wonder
Got that gypsy blood, always chasing thunder

Always chasing thunder
Always chasing thunder
Always chasing thunder
Always chasing thunder
Chasing thunder, always chasing thunder
Got that gypsy blood, always chasing thunder

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Got that gypsy blood, always chasing thunder

All the beauty and the bad
Makes me happy, makes me sad
'Cause I know that nothing lasts forever
I'll keep runnin', chasing thunder
All the beauty and the bad
Makes me happy, makes me sad
'Cause I know that nothing lasts forever
I'll keep runnin', chasing thunder

Ooh
Oh, oh, oh
Baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
So I'm gonna keep on chasing thunder
Chasing thunder
