Running Up That Hill
Loveless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me
[Chorus]
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
If I only could, oh...
[Verse 2]
You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me
It's you and me won't be unhappy
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a dеal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Bе running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could
[Bridge]
You
It's you and me
It's you and me won't be unhappy
[Verse 3]
C'mon, baby, c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh...
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Say, if I only could
Say, if I only could
Say, if I only could
Loveless's song "Running Up That Hill" is a haunting and introspective piece that touches upon themes of pain, sacrifice, and the human condition. The first verse, "It doesn't hurt me, do you want to know how it feels?", sets the tone for the rest of the song and invites the listener to explore the idea of emotional vulnerability. The singer urges the listener to imagine a deal with God, one in which they would exchange places and try to accomplish difficult tasks - "running up that road/hill/building" - in each other's shoes. The verses explore the struggle for understanding and connection with another person, the rift of misunderstanding that can exist between two people who are meant to love each other, and the fundamental human need for empathy and compassion. The song builds to a heart-wrenching climax in the final chorus and outro, with the refrain "If I only could" repeated over and over.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but many have seen the song as an exploration of the difficulties of communication between people, as well as of the struggle for redemption and salvation. The notion of swapping places with someone to understand their pain and perspective is also a prevalent theme. Some have also perceived the song as an exploration of gender and power dynamics, as the singer seems to be urging a partner - who is perhaps male - to understand the singer's perspective as a woman.
