Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Borgeous's song "Runnin'" can be interpreted in a variety of ways – from a reflection on the inevitability of time and the fleeting nature of life, to a commentary on the pressures and anxieties of modern society. In the verses, the repeated refrain "We're runnin' out of time" suggests a sense of urgency or desperation, while the verses offer some glimpses of what may be motivating this feeling.

The first verse suggests that there are certain things that the singer may want to accomplish or achieve, but that time is slipping away from them. They are "runnin'" towards some goal, but they are also aware that they may not be able to achieve what they desire before time runs out.

In the second verse, the tone shifts slightly, as the singer seems to accept that certain things may not be possible. They "gotta say goodbye" to something or someone, and they acknowledge that they may only be able to reconnect "in another life". Whatever it is that they are leaving behind, they can't make it "worth the time", and so they are forced to run away from it.

Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the fragility and impermanence of life, and the need to sometimes accept that certain things may not be possible or worth pursuing. The repeated refrain of "We're runnin' out of time" underscores this sense of urgency, while also hinting at a certain futility – even as we run towards certain goals, time continues to slip away from us.
