We, the members of Jimmy Eat World, would like to share with you what it took to craft and create our new album 'Chase This Light.' Here's what each song means to us and we hope you enjoy the album:




1. Big Casino
A loser anthem. Song about disgruntled burn-out dreams of success and what they would do with it.

2. Let It Happen
Always wanted to write an “I ain’t missing you”-- feigning strength as a defense song.

3. Like She'll Always Be
Song about co-dependency; vunerability exploited.

4. Carry You
With distance and time, it becomes easier to invent qualities that may not have existed in a relationship. And to falsely believe those qualities could be included in a current version of the relationship.

5. Electable (Give It Up)
Frustration with the lack of intelligent political discourse in America. Why is attempting to polarize such an effective distraction from accountability?

6. Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues
A song about apathy. Oppression is an abstraction and though of assomeone else’s problem… until it’s you that finds yourself defending your rights.

7. Feeling Lucky
A bar brawl song. Another loser anthem.

8. Here It Goes
Know what is truly important to you. Don’t lose sight of that in the face of opportunity OR in the face of desperation.  

9. Chase This Light
Becoming self-aware in the middle of a special experience. The “chase” is trying to find that feeling of discovery.

10. Firefight
Because it is new, everything is a big deal.

11. Dizzy
Unspoken awkwardness when two people are faced with their past.
