Runnin'
Belle Humble; Cutline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin' from something within
Taking its hold on me
There's a feeling inside I try to hide
Taking control of me
Like it or not, the things I've been shown
Now I'm high with the clouds
Lifting above
Starlight is all I see
I keep runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin'
From something within
From something within
I keep runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin'
From something within
From something within
I keep runnin', runnin' from something within
Taking its hold on me
There's a feeling inside I try to hide
Taking control of me
Like it or not, the things I've been shown
They keep on driving me
Now I'm high with the clouds
Lifting above
Starlight is all I see
Runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin' from something within
Taking its hold on me
There's a feeling inside I try to hide
Taking control of me
Like it or not, the things I've been shown
They keep on driving me
Now I'm high with the clouds
Lifting above
Starlight is all I see
I keep runnin'
I keep
I keep
I try to
Hide
I keep runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin'
From something within
From something within
I keep runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
I keep runnin', runnin'
From something within
From something within
The lyrics of Cutline's "Runnin'" depict a sense of running away from something that is within, something that has taken its hold on the singer. The repeated use of "runnin', runnin'" highlights the need for escape from this internal feeling. The singer acknowledges that there is a feeling inside that they try to hide, but it is taking control of them, and no matter how hard they try to escape it, it keeps driving them. The cloud imagery and starlight they see is a sense of freedom and escape from the emotions that are holding them back.
The line "Like it or not, the things I've been shown" could suggest that the feeling inside is related to past experiences that are keeping them from being able to move on. It could be a fear, a trauma, or a past mistake that they can't let go of, and it is impacting their ability to move forward. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the feeling of running away from the problem rather than facing it head-on, making it clear that it's easier to flee than deal with the internal battle.
The song's fast tempo and use of electronic beats reflect the frantic and chaotic nature of trying to escape from something within. The lyrics and the music work together to create a sense of urgency and anxiety, conveying the sense that the singer is stuck in a cycle of running that they can't seem to break free from.

I keep runnin', runnin' from something within
I persistently escape from something deep inside myself
Taking its hold on me
It's taking control of me
There's a feeling inside I try to hide
There's an emotion in me that I try to conceal
Taking control of me
Gaining authority over me
Like it or not, the things I've been shown
Whether I like it or not, the experiences I've had
They keep on driving me
They continue to push me
Now I'm high with the clouds
Now I'm soaring in the sky
Lifting above
Rising up
Starlight is all I see
I only see stars
I keep

I attempt to
Hide
Conceal myself
From something within
From something deep within
From something within
From something deep within

My brother and I would listen to this song every time we would ride in his truck together. He passed away in a plane crash on November 19, 2021. Now I’m just sitting in his truck listening to this song. Memories like this keep me going.
@BellyJae
Oh no, I’m so sorry. 🥺🥺

THE BEST CUTLINE TRACK OF ALL TIME is now 10 years old! The nostalgia...it's hitting me hard! What an incredible Melodic Dubstep tune! I also like the fact that the second drop is ripped from the Runnin VIP the mix of the two versions is just perfect <3 I miss Cutline and would love to see Belle Humble in Dubstep again!
@roaminkandle
One of the many Angelic voices for the most Epic genre out there. Music wouldn't be as cool and serene without Dubstep and their awesome vocalist, so from us true Dub fans, Thank you to all artist for the Great music.
