Runaway Train
Cam Lyrics

I always knew that you were hiding something from me
The singer has known all along that the person they loved was keeping something from them

I always knew you're not what you pretend to be
The singer understood that the person they loved was putting up a false persona

I always knew that all your lies would come to light one day
The singer knew that the lies of the person they loved would eventually be known to all

But I never knew what it could do to me
The artist did not realize the impact it would have on them

My broken heart's become an engine
The hurt of the artist has given them a driving force

And my blood is pumping steel
The anger arising from the hurt is like a motivating, powerful metal in their veins

I'm running wild with vengeance
The singer is consumed with wanting revenge

I've lost control of this machine
The artist has become ruled by their desire for revenge

There's no slowing down now
The artist will not stop until their vengeance is achieved

I'm a runaway train
The artist is like an unstoppable train that's on the run

My pistons are pounding
The singer feels the energy and drive of their anger in their body

Brakes are screaming your name
The artist's rage is preventing them from slowing down, with the other person's name playing as a continual reminder

And when there's nothing but wreckage and flames
The singer is willing to destroy everything and anyone in their path to get revenge

And your misery is all that remains
The singer's enemy will be left with nothing but destruction and pain

I'll feel human again
The singer's need for revenge has made them feel like an inhuman force, but once it is done, they will be able to experience emotions like a human again

But I'm a runaway train
The artist is still completely uncontrollable despite their knowledge of what will happen after their revenge mission

Red light flashing, gears down
The end is near; the brakes are pulled, and the warning lights are on

None of that will help you now
No amount of begging or apologies will save the person now

Lying face-up on the tracks
The person is now in a vulnerable position, unable to move, and their fate sealed

Well, you brought it here, no turning back
The person brought this upon themselves, and they face the consequences; there is no going back
