Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons

Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons
All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's just pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling
I can't pretend girl your love got me fiending
So run away let's get lost for some seasons
Girl you got me fighting fighting demon
Yeah you got my heart shaking yeah like a seizure
Chopper leave you Harlem shake if try leaving
Girl just never lie to me or don't you try to leave
No You don't need nobody else girl I got wat you need
I just might risk it all for you love girl I'm on one knees
Don't you be scared or worried girl I got you till the end
Girl I'll will be your Adam if u just come be my eve
A bottom boy survivor wear my heart right on my sleeve
And i don't need nobody girl it's just you and me
Yes it's just me and you You got nothing to prove
Girl I got you forever even when you in ya moods
I know i can be toxic but you love makes me complete
Without you im still lost in a void feel like it never end
I might run away i been stuck in my head I been thinking
Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons
All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling

Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons
All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's just pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling
All alone in my head I'm all alone in my head
I know they want me dead but it feels like I'm already dead
And i been running from my pain again
My heart starts to drain again the girls are the same again
I'll never trust a hoe again
I've been thinking I might run away i been stuck in my head I been thinking
Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons
All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling
I been stuck in my head i been thinking
Popping beans yeah they change By the seasons




All this weed and this wack yeah it got me leaning
Let's just pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'On The Run' by Cowboy Bebop O.S.T. III depict an individual who is struggling with their thoughts and feelings. The repeated phrase 'I might run away' suggests that the singer is contemplating escaping from their problems. The lines 'all alone in my head' and 'I know they want me dead but it feels like I'm already dead' paint a picture of someone who feels isolated and alienated from those around them. The singer turns to drugs to cope, as evidenced by the references to 'popping beans' and 'weed'.


The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain of 'Let's pretend that we're numb yeah to the feeling' suggests that the singer is seeking to escape their emotional pain through self-medication. However, they also yearn for connection, as evidenced by the lines 'girl you got me fighting fighting demon' and 'I just might risk it all for your love girl I'm on one knees'. Ultimately, the singer appears conflicted about whether to run away or confront their problems head-on.


In many ways, 'On The Run' represents a common theme in hip-hop music - the struggle to cope with the challenges of life in a society that often seems to be against you. The repeated references to drugs suggest that the singer is trying to find a way to cope, but the repeated phrase 'I might run away' suggests that they are not sure if they have the strength to do so. At its heart, 'On The Run' is a powerful statement about the human condition, and the struggles that we all face in trying to find our place in the world.
