Chase And Status Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You need to stop running
every time I'm there
Your heart starts rushing
Think that I don't know
You certainly feel something
I've seen that look before
You need to stop running
You see my face again
You see my face again
You need to stop running
every time I'm there
Your heart starts rushing
Think that I don't know
You certainly feel something
I've seen that look before
You need to stop running
(You need to stop running)
(Your heart starts rushing)
(You certainly feel something)
(You need to stop running)
You see my face again
You need to stop running
every time I'm there
Your heart starts rushing
Think that I don't know
You certainly feel something
I've seen that look before
You need to stop running
You see my face again
You see my face again
You need to stop running
every time I'm there
Your heart starts rushing
Think that I don't know
You certainly feel something
I've seen that look before
You need to stop running
(You need to stop running)
(Your heart starts rushing)
(You certainly feel something)
(You need to stop running)
The lyrics of Chase and Status's "Running" are about a person who is being pursued by someone they have a past with. While the exact nature of their relationship is left ambiguous, it is clear that the person singing the song feels that the other person is avoiding them. The repeated plea of "You need to stop running" shows the singer's frustration with the other person's avoidance strategy. The lines "Your heart starts rushing" and "You certainly feel something" suggest that the other person is still drawn to the singer, even if they are trying to avoid them.
The verses in the song are quite repetitive, with the same four lines repeated throughout the entire song. However, the buildup in the chorus is quite effective in creating a sense of urgency and intensity as the singer pleads for the other person to stop running. Overall, the lyrics are effective in conveying a sense of tension between two people who have a complicated history.
