Brandon Bison Lyrics

The lyrics to Brandon Bison's song "Running Up That Hill" explore themes of empathy, sacrifice, and longing for understanding in a relationship. The opening lines, "No me lastima, quieres sentir lo que se siente" (It doesn't hurt me, you want to feel what it feels like), suggest a desire to bridge the emotional gap and to make the other person understand the pain they have caused. The following lines, "quieres saber, saber que no me hace daño" (you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me), indicate a plea for the other person to acknowledge that their actions have consequences.

The chorus, "Si tan solo pudiera, haría un pacto con Dios, cambiaría nuestros lugares" (If only I could, I would make a pact with God, I would switch our places), expresses the singer's willingness to sacrifice their own happiness and take on the other person's pain in order to understand each other better.
