Running
Lightscape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me why
You don′t want to try
Well I can see that you mean it
In your eyes
It's different this time

Cause you′re cold in your blood
As my heart is attacked
But there is barely a reason
You deny, I comply

But it's time to comprehend
That everything
Must come to an end

You're leaving me here
I know you′ve got to go
You′re running, you're running

When you disappear
I know I′m on my own
You're running, you′re running

What you can't have
It makes you want it so bad
In time I will see
It′s the best worst thing that could have happened to me

And well, I am the less
You're indifferent at best
No tears left to cry
The problem that we have here is identified

You're leaving me here
I know you′ve got to go
You′re running, you're running

When you disappear
I know I′m on my own
You're running, you′re running

It's bleeding into my mind
I′m trying to fight but I'm wasting my time
Now I must go into the great unknown
You're running, you′re running

You′re running, you're running
You′re running, you're running
You′re running, you're running
You′re running, you're running

You're leaving me here
You′re running, you′re running
When you disappear
You're running, you′re running
I'm trying to fight
I′m wasting my time

You're leaving me here
I know you′ve got to go
You're running, you're running

When you disappear
I know I′m on my own
You′re running, you're running

Well it′s bleeding into my mind
I'm trying to fight but I′m wasting my time




Now I must go into the great unknown
You're running, you′re running

Overall Meaning

Lightscape's song "Running" seems to be about a relationship that has come to an end. The singer is trying to comprehend why the other person is leaving and why they don't want to try and make the relationship work. The other person seems cold and indifferent, and while the singer is trying to hold on, they know they must let go and face the unknown.


The chorus, "You're leaving me here, I know you've got to go, You're running, you're running, When you disappear, I know I'm on my own, You're running, you're running," encapsulates the idea of someone running away from a relationship, leaving the other person to pick up the pieces and deal with the aftermath.


The second verse, "What you can't have, It makes you want it so bad, In time I will see, It's the best worst thing that could have happened to me," suggests that the other person may be leaving because they feel like they cannot have what they truly want. The singer acknowledges that this situation may ultimately be for the best, even though it is painful.


Overall, "Running" seems to be a song about the complexities of relationships and the pain of letting go when someone decides to leave.
