Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you wanna feel how it feels? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
You
It's you and me
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
See, if I only could, oh
You don't wanna hurt me (yeah, yeah, yo)
But see how deep the bullet lies (yeah, yeah, yo)
Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder (yeah, yeah, yo)
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts (yeah, yeah, yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Oh, tell me we both matter, don't we? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
You
It's you and me
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could, oh
The song "Running Up That Hill" by Kilian K is a powerful and emotional ballad that touches upon themes of sacrifice, longing, and the desire to escape one's own circumstances. The lyrics speak of the wish to swap places with someone else in order to escape the pain and struggle one is currently experiencing. The opening lines, "It doesn't hurt me / Do you wanna feel how it feels?" convey a sense of detachment and disconnection, as though the singer has become numb to their own suffering.
There is a sense of desperation in the chorus, as the singer longs to be able to run up that hill or building, to escape their current situation. The image of running up a hill or building suggests an almost impossible task, but one that the singer is willing to undertake if it means escaping their current reality. They long to make a deal with God, to somehow find a way to change their circumstances and find a way out.
The second verse begins with the lines "You don't wanna hurt me / But see how deep the bullet lies," which suggest a level of emotional pain and turmoil. The singer is torn apart by their own emotions, unaware of how their own feelings are affecting those around them. They ask the question, "Is there so much hate for the ones we love?" which speaks to the difficult and complicated nature of relationships.
Overall, "Running Up That Hill" is a deeply moving song that speaks to the universal desire to escape pain and struggle, and the sacrifices we make in order to find a better life.
