running
Cindy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Skipped my run on Monday
I skipped my plans on Tuesday
When you needed a ride, I was there in five
Losing time that should be mine
But it's fine, ‘cuz you'd do the same for me, right?

I really wouldn't mind it
If you could maybe try a bit
But when I ask for a favor or a little help
You turn the other way, yeah, you keep to yourself
Guess you're driving on a one way street baby


Keep giving you all i got
Yet, I think you missed a spot

Now I'm running out of love
Was wondering if I might borrow some
Seems like you've got more than enough
I'm running out of love
What happens when there's none left?

Now I'm getting tired
My kindness is gonna expire
‘Cuz I've got a spine, and though it may bend
Even I've got a line, and I'm sensing the end
Maybe then you'll regret it, when nobody's doing shit for you

You take and take and take
Do you feel me pulling away?

Now I'm running out of love
Was wondering if I might borrow some
Seems like you've got more than enough
I'm running out of love
What happens when there's none left?


I wondered how long it'd be until I'd crack
How far you could push until I'd push back
How much you could take until I had nothing left
How much you could shake me until I'd react
Well congrats, I think you found the limit you were after

Now I'm running out of love
Was wondering if I might borrow some
Seems like you've got more than enough
I'm running out of love
What happens when there's none left?

Now I'm running out of love
Was wondering if I might borrow some
Seems like you've got more than enough
I'm running out of love
What happens when there's none left?




What happens when there's none left?
What happens when there's none left?

Overall Meaning

In "Cindy's Song," the singer expresses their frustration and disappointment with someone who constantly takes advantage of their kindness and generosity. The song is divided into four sections, each highlighting different aspects of the singer's feelings and experiences.


In the first section, the singer reflects on the times they sacrificed their own plans and time for this person. They mention skipping their own run and plans to help out, emphasizing that they believe this person would do the same for them. However, there is a slight hint of disappointment as they mention losing time that should have been theirs, but they brush it off, convincing themselves that it's fine.


The second section reveals the singer's growing discontent with the person's lack of reciprocation. They express their willingness to continue giving and helping, but they hope this person would try a bit harder to be there for them too. When they ask for help or a favor, this person turns the other way, implying a selfishness and a lack of consideration. The metaphor of driving on a one-way street emphasizes the one-sidedness of the relationship.


In the third section, the singer's frustration continues to escalate. They feel depleted and exhausted, realizing that their kindness and love are running out. They question if they can borrow some love from the other person, highlighting their feelings of unbalance. The lyrics suggest that the other person has more love than they are willing to give, leaving the singer wondering what will happen when their own love is completely depleted.


The final section represents a breaking point for the singer. They are tired and warn that their kindness has limits, despite their willingness to bend and endure. They suggest that the person will regret their behavior when they realize that nobody is willing to do anything for them anymore. The lyrics imply that the singer has reached their breaking point and will no longer tolerate being taken advantage of.


Overall, "Cindy's Song" depicts a narrative of someone who has given their all to another person and is now realizing the one-sidedness of the relationship. It explores themes of unbalance, depletion, and the consequences of taking advantage of someone's kindness. The lyrics highlight the singer's growing disillusionment and their eventual realization that they can no longer continue in this dynamic.

The way he moved his arms while going down the stairs 🤣

@YuriaDwell

Peak human running performance

@Fabboi_unl

You might not like it, but this is what peak human stair running looks like.

@warmachinerockx7604

He looks like Jack sparrow running.

@onestupidgamer

I like that he gets progressively better at dodging the items she throws at him

The pot was a direct hit
The bike stopped him in his tracks
Grandma was dodged but he lost his balance
And finally he completely dodged the piano.

@coryjamieson3171

I love how Ghostface runs down the stairs, this film is just comedy gold.

@KingDragonBoyTV1998

Ghost face doesn’t know how to play the piano!!!

@DiablitoKawaii

The way he runs for his life hahaha i wonder if he was in real danger while shooting this scene

@aquayerr

0:10 he really looked at her like”did this b*tch really just throw her grandma at me?”

@UpTheDown7

The run down the stairs and then grandmas ridiculous scream is just an all-time combination.
