Running
Chance Milky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never been running so far, so immense far
When will I fall into your arms?
I want to try and stand the pain
Of my long-time-hurting-feet

And what about you, you drunken soul
Is that your own will to go?
On and on until I die
Or are you going to give up now?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
To give up now?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
To give up now?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
To give up now?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

I've never run so real, so immense real
When will I fall into your heart?
I want to try and stand the pain
Of my long-time-hurting-feet

And what about you, you drunken soul
Is that your own will to go?
On and on until I die
Or are you going to give up now?

I've never run so far, so immense far, when will I fall into your arms
I want to try and stand the pain
Of my long-time-hurting-feet

And what about you, you drunken soul
Is that your own will to go?
On and on until I die
Or are you going to give up now?

I've never been running so far, so immense far
When will I fall into your arms?
I want to break those circle-rules
I want to dance the waltz with you

And what about you, you drunken soul
Is that your own will to go?
On and on until I die
Or are you going to give up now?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
To give up now?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
To give up now?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
To give up now?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

I have never run so real
I have never run so real

I have never run so real, so immense real
When will I fall into your heart?
I want to try and stand the pain
Of my long-time-hurting-feet

And what about you, you drunken soul
Is that your own will to go?




On and on until I die
Or are you going to give up now?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chance Milky's song "Running" depict the singer's desire to continue running despite the challenges and obstacles they may face. They express the yearning to be embraced by their loved one in Santa Fe after running so far and for so long. The "drunken soul" mentioned in the lyrics suggests that the singer's companion may be struggling with inner demons or burdens, which they question whether it is their will to continue to run. However, the singer maintains their determination to keep running, even until death. The repetition of "To give up now" further emphasizes the importance of pushing forward and not giving up.


The lyrics may be interpreted as a representation of the struggles and challenges one faces in their journey towards achieving their goals. The "running" metaphor can also represent a means of escape from one's problems or an attempt to outrun the past. The desire to be embraced by a loved one may signify a need for emotional support or connection. The questioning of the companion's will to go may indicate a need for clarification or reassurance in their relationship, or it may represent a need to address their own inner struggles and questions.


The song's title, "Running," as well as the repetition of the word throughout the lyrics, highlights the theme of movement and progress. The choice of Santa Fe as a destination may be significant as it is known for its natural beauty and spiritual significance for some. Chance Milky's use of repetition and simplistic melody adds to the overall emotional intensity and provides an easy sing-along quality.

This song is so very deep. Deep enough not to get bored of it some time later. It feels like this song will accompany me all my life; it's doing good so far.
