Running
#.4.26. Lyrics

I'm just running - running away
The singer is fleeing from their home to escape feelings of danger and insecurity.

From my home to another place
They are seeking refuge elsewhere.

I'm just running, cause I can not stay
The dangers of their home environment are too great to bear.

It's fucked up when at home you don't feel safe
Feeling unsafe in one's own home is an unacceptable reality for the artist.

I won't stop - I'll keep running
They will continue to run, even if it means going to the end of the world.

End of this world - it keeps coming
The end of the world feels like a more welcoming reality than staying in their current environment.

I wanna feel love - feel something
The singer desires to feel something positive, such as love, which they are lacking in their current life.

At the end of this day, I'm just nothing
Their pursuit of something more meaningful seems to be fruitless so far.

Hope that one day I'm gonna feel safe
The artist still holds onto a hope that they will find security and peace someday.

But if not then I'll be running forever
They are prepared to keep running if they must.

Fucked up life, hard to keep it together, yeah
The singer's life is in a state of chaos and it is difficult for them to remain stable.

Fifty nine, sixty one - that's on my neck
The numbers on their neck suggest they have encountered violence or gang activity.

I feel paranoid and I feel so stressed
Their experiences have left them feeling anxious and tense.

Grandma told me - chase boy, you'll be next
Their grandmother encouraged them to pursue success and avoid trouble, but the singer still feels at risk.

Rest in peace, love you, I just hope you're blessed
The singer is sending condolences to someone who has passed away.

I need codeine, promethazine
The artist is addicted to prescription cough syrup.

I got a recipe, this is self made lean
They have created their own mixture of cough syrup and other substances to produce a high.

I can feel your body through my screen
The singer is using drugs to connect with others or to escape from their reality.

So many drugs - I'm sure my piss ain't clean
Their drug use is so frequent that it is affecting their physical health.

I don't feel safe
The artist is still struggling to feel secure.

Praying for another day
They are hoping to survive and continue running towards a better life.
