Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You keep me
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
You keep me
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running

I'm lost again, it's happening

When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready

I'm lost again, it's happening
When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all

I'm lost again, it's happening
When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all

I'm lost again, it's happening
When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all

Whoa, would you hold my hand like the air it's so gently here
Never give up, never give up
Whoa, would you pull me closer and nobody knows we're there
No one can find us

Whoa, would you hold my hand like the air it's so gently here
Never give up, never give up
Whoa, would you pull me closer and nobody knows we're there
No one can find us

I'm lost again, it's happening
When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all

Keep me running
Keep me running

Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running

And I'm lost again, it's happening
When you're around I just go away
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all
Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall
Think I'm ready to loose it all

Whoa, would you hold my hand like the air it's so gently here
Never give up, never give up
Whoa, would you pull me closer and nobody knows we're there
No one can find us

Whoa, would you hold my hand like the air it's so gently here
Never give up, never give up
Whoa, would you pull me closer and nobody knows we're there
No one can find us

You keep

Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Running" by Jesse Ware and Disclosure describe the feeling of being lost but also being kept running by someone in particular. The singer of the song feels like she is lost and when the person she's singing about is around, she just goes away. The line "All I wanna know, is it mutual?" suggests that there is more going on here, possibly a romantic connection, and that the singer wants to know if the other person feels the same way. The chorus "Keep me running, you keep me running" feels like a plea to keep things going or to keep the momentum, possibly with someone by her side.

The pre-chorus "Then I'm ready to run, ready to fall, think I'm ready to lose it all" speaks to the idea of being ready to take risks and be vulnerable. The singer is ready to fall and possibly get hurt, but she's ready to take the chance.

The bridge "Would you hold my hand like the air, it's so gently here, never give up, never give up, would you pull me closer and nobody knows we're there, no one can find us" creates an intimate and personal atmosphere, where the singer is reaching out for comfort and asking that no one disturbs this moment.

Overall, the lyrics of "Running" capture the vulnerability and uncertainty of falling in love or being in a new relationship. The sense of risk-taking, of feeling lost, and the need for reassurance and connection all come through in this song.

Homie you ain’t lying. This song seems to touch some kind of time warp stream of consciousness for some. Exercise, motivation against trauma, sexual tension with a lover, individual empowerment through thought on a drive or senseless dance like a badass motherfucker in a crowd. It touches it all. Might seem rant-ish but I’ll bet I’m not the only one.

I used to refer to this music as "underground garage" - it was a sound that was very prominent on the London Sunday club scene in the early-mid 90's (Gas Club, the original Café De Paris etc). It just has a smooth bass sound that is really classy.
Probably the best loved tune of this genre is Let's Groove by George Morel. You'll know it when you hear it ... it's a real classic. I also thought Closer Than Close by Rosie Gaines was an underground track but it got a little commercial and made way for the 2 step sound which I wasn't as keen on.

... in most places, that is. In some places it was always known as garage, separate to mainstream house, even from very early times. The pure garage scenes. Some places and some clubs rarely played any or much mainstream house. While there were some scenes playing mostly this kind of thing that called it house rather than garage in the early times. But, as they say, posterity favoured the former, and garage became very distinct.

I friken miss this part of my childhood, being weird and having fun in summer break in 2015 playing Horizon 2, I miss when Horizon had this good of a soundtrack, now I'm 15 and when I play Horizon 4 and go on pulse or bass arena, it's just not the same, this may be an unpopular opinion, but horizon 2 is still my favorite out of 2, 3, and 4.(I haven't tried the first cause I never owned a 360, the xbox one was my first xbox.) For me it just had a more festival vibe to it and I felt like I was at an actual event. 3 just feels weird because your the boss or something I don't know, and 4 seems like it's tailored towards younger audiences, with the emotes and stuff like that. I wish I could play 2 again but, they don't sell it anymore on the xbox store, and my disk drive is broken, and I haven't upgraded to the S or the X, so I have the fat model. So Horizon 2, great game, but good luck trying to play it today, unless you still have it installed on your xbox.

@credit0880

MAN YOU KNOW HOW I DAMN FEEL. i hope fh2 will be playable on the Scarlett. (most likely cause they aint stupid like sony.)

@Miguel-cq5lx

Same feeling, also fh5 feels even worst than fh4 or fh3

@Derp422

34w

How tf does FH3 feel weird just cause you're the Festival boss? In my opinion, I think it's a great aspect of the game. And FH4, well, I wouldn't say it's aimed at only younger audiences, I mean it is rated Everyone, but it's still a fun game to play.

Garage. While, garage is house. It's garage house. Though, garage is distinguished from mainstream house. That's what you mean, and so this is definitely garage rather than mainstream house. Once upon a time, garage in dance music meant a few things, including stuff that sounded well within mainstream house. And then, separately, house hadn't branched out so clearly one time, so this kind of garage was thought as by many as within mainstream house. Until it was shoved into the garage clubs.

@TheSpookyDuke

I don't understand how djs don't understand this song can only be remixed or extended in the 80's style of mix. Everything else sounds like abomination of a perfect 80's style sophisti-pop tune.
