Running
Kallay Saunders Andrs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This pain will never even lie
Daddy's home, so she tries to hide
She calls her mom, but never a reply
She cries, cries, cries
She's all alone
Daddy why, why, why, leave me alone
She calls for help, but no one seems to care,
She calls for help but no one seems to care.
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life
She keeps on running, running, running, never sees the light
I can see the angels standing by your side
It'll be alright
He's back again, just one more time
Just wants to see her mother smile
She can't forget her only child
Mama, let the devil in the house
She cries, cries, cries
She's all alone
Daddy why, why, why, leave me alone
She calls for help,
She calls for help, but no one seems to care,
She calls for help but no one seems to care.
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life
She keeps on running, running, running, never sees the light
I can see the angels standing by your side
It'll be alright
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life
She keeps on running, running, running, never sees the light
The lyrics of Kallay Saunders Andrs's song "Running" tell the story of a girl who is in pain and struggling with a difficult family situation. The first verse sets the tone with the line "Silent cry, every night", hinting at the girl's struggle to express herself and find help. The mention of her father coming home suggests a situation of abuse or neglect, as she tries to hide from him. When she reaches out to her mom for help, she gets no response, leaving her feeling alone and abandoned. The repetition of the chorus, where she cries for help but no one seems to care, underscores her sense of isolation and desperation.
The second verse brings in a new character, a man who we assume is the girl's mother's boyfriend or husband. He wants to make her mother smile, but the girl can't forget how he's hurt her in the past. She pleads with her mother to keep him out of the house, calling him "the devil". Despite this plea, she still feels alone and trapped, and continues to run away from her problems.
The bridge offers a glimmer of hope, where the singer tells the girl that she is not alone and that there are angels watching over her. This reassurance that "it'll be alright" is a comforting message that contrasts with the rest of the song's dark and fearful imagery.
Overall, "Running" is a poignant and emotional song that deals with themes of isolation, abuse, and the struggle to find hope in a bleak situation.
