Running Out
Down to Nothing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna look you dead in the eyes
Test your will find out what's real
Make no deals no compromise
Running running running
Ticking ticking ticking
Don't waste my time
Put to the test try your best
Can't erase, no escape
You're on thin ice you're falling straight down
Running out, out of space, out of time
It's my turn to take what's mine
There's no more slack left for you to take
Pulled all your strings nothing left to break
Never learned from your past mistakes
No sympathy when you fucking wake
The lyrics of Down to Nothing's song Running Out are about accountability and self-reflection. The singer is calling someone out and telling them to confront the truth of their actions. The song is about not making compromises or deals to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions. The phrase "running out" is repeated throughout the song, suggesting a sense of urgency and time running out for the person being addressed. The singer emphasizes that they will not be fooled or manipulated; whoever they're speaking to must face the truth without any lies or deception.
In the second verse, the song takes a more pointed and accusatory tone. The person being addressed is told that they are rapidly "running out" of space, time and chances to make amends for their past mistakes. The singer warns that there is no more room for excuses, and that it is time for the person to take responsibility for their actions. The line "pulled all your strings nothing left to break" suggests that this person has been given many opportunities to change, but has exhausted all of them. When the singer says "no sympathy when you fucking wake", they are indicating that there will be consequences for the person's actions, and that they will not be offering any mercy.
