Born To Run
K~Os Lyrics

My heart, creep show, some old thing on the radio.
The singer is listening to a nostalgic song on the radio and feeling emotional.

Who's that coming round suffering popularity breakdown?
The singer notices someone struggling with fame and popularity.

I guess it's funny that, that I got stopped when I'm walking the streets
The singer finds it ironic that they are stopped while walking in public.

Walkin down streets
The artist is walking around in public spaces.

Walkin down paths, with the kids in the back way
The artist is walking with children in a less-traveled area.

I say "If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter" (woo hoo)
The singer believes that if someone cannot enjoy their music, it is not important.

"If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter" (yeah)
The singer reiterates that their music is not meant for everyone and that's okay.

I was running around with my head in the sand
The artist was not focused and unaware of their surroundings.

Looking for people and a new fan
The artist is searching for validation and approval from others.

But she told me before, baby, do your own dance
Someone has advised the artist to be true to themselves and their own style.

Stay off the highway
The singer should avoid the mainstream and stay true to their own path.

That doesn't mean you were born to run
Just because you are different does not mean you are destined for great success.

Either we're brave or we're broken hearted
Being unique takes courage, but can also leave you vulnerable to disappointment and heartbreak.

We don't believe there's a home above
The singer does not believe in a higher power or afterlife.

That's why we're back to the place where we started
The singer has returned to their roots and original beliefs.

Sure as the stars in the sky above
The artist is certain of their beliefs, no matter how unconventional they may seem.

We're going back to the place that we started
The artist is returning to their roots, both musically and spiritually.

We fell from the sky in the universe
The singer feels like they came from nowhere and are part of something bigger than themselves.

When we fell in love with the sound
The singer has a deep appreciation for music and the way it affects them emotionally.

Of the birds and all the ocean lights
The artist finds beauty in nature and natural elements.

And the gravity pulling us down
The artist acknowledges the force that keeps them grounded and connected to reality.

Time won't let you go
The artist feels like time is ever-present and always moving forward.

There are some things you'll never know
There are some things in life that are impossible to understand or explain.

I'm hoping that she walks through the door
The artist is longing for someone to arrive and bring happiness.

I'm going...
The singer's thought is left unfinished, creating suspense or uncertainty.

If the sky would fall would it take that to bring us together?
The singer wonders if an extreme event is necessary to unite people.

Do we have to start all over again?
The singer is contemplating whether starting anew is the only way to move forward.

Born to run, until we fell 4x
The repeated line is a reference to Bruce Springsteen's song "Born to Run" and likely refers to the artist's independence and unique path in life.
