Runnin
Mack D.L.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You been running round running round running round yeah
Running round running round running round yeah
I been keeping track of the things I want to get
Can you please explain you're inside of my head
You been running round running round running round yeah
Running round running round running round yeah
Don't pick up the phone if you're going to act dead
I think I'm a write all the things I should've said
What're you thinking
Learn how to tell me the truth what're you doing
Not easy to ruin my mood
Treating me like I'm a fool, yeah
But I'm still intact yeah
I dont want to act no
All the stars are out and they twinkling
I kept your secrets, even though it all got so bad between us
You can feel ease
Cause you were a part of me
You been running round running round running round yeah
Running round running round running round yeah
I been keeping track of the things I want to get
Can you please explain you're inside of my head
What do I do
I'm, feeling real used can we be final and through
Talk no more
Don't sleep anymore
Livings like a chore
Why am I a bore
How did we end up here?
My mind has been unclear
Driving down the highways they exist inside of my head
Do you think you ever heard a word I said
Where are you now?
Am I speaking to the memory of you
You been running round
You been running round
You been running round running round running round yeah
Running round running round running round yeah
I been keeping track of the things I want to get
Can you please explain you're inside of my head
(outro)
Baby please choose me
Be scared that you'll lose me
I dont want to let go
Give me a movie ending
Don't leave us on a pending
Stayin up all night
But I dont
Want to miss your "Hi's"
When I wake up
Tired of the moon
I didn't think
That you'd be gone so soon




It was you
It was you

Overall Meaning

The song "Runnin" by Mack D.L.E. is about a man who acknowledges that his significant other has been cheating on him, but he's not going to let her see him cry about it. This is why the line "you won't see no tears from a clown" is repeated throughout the song. It's a metaphor that refers to how a clown is supposed to make people happy and laugh, rather than cry. The singer, however, has figured out her lies and deceitfulness and is moving on from her.


The song's chorus reaffirms the singer's knowledge that his partner has been cheating and that he has processed it, but there is an underlying feeling of anger and aggression towards her throughout the verses. He makes references to his own self-sufficiency, with lines such as "40 acres and a mule, a case of Busch and good tunes, the mud truck, and night moves." These lyrics suggest that the singer believes he has everything he needs to be happy, without her.


Furthermore, the song is a reflection of the singer's journey of self-discovery and realization, as he notes "now that I can see the truth, that the devil is apart of you, I'm on my own yeah, I got the juice." This line could suggest that the heartbreak caused by the infidelity has taught the singer something about himself, and he is now better equipped to recognize and reject any further manipulations.


Overall, "Runnin" is a song about moving on from a relationship that has caused pain and recognizing one's own worth and individuality. It's a message about perseverance in the face of emotional turmoil, and how sometimes you have to leave someone behind if they don't value you enough.


Line by Line Meaning

I know you been running around
I am aware that you have been unfaithful


And I know How this shit goes down
I understand the patterns of behavior that lead to infidelity


But you won't See no tears from a clown Cuz I, I, figured it out
I won't cry over you because I have come to terms with the fact that you were never fully committed


Well saddle up it's a long ride Take your short comings With a long stride
We have a long journey ahead, so we must accept our flaws and move forward confidently


A mans word and a mans pride Is all he's got
A man's reputation is precious and must be protected at all costs


40 acres and a mule A case of Busch and good tunes The mud truck and night moves Just a lone wolf howling at the moon
I find solace in the simple things in life, like good music, good beer, and the freedom to enjoy the night in my own way


You want us back But I ain't having that You can go find us were you left us at No time for this and that
You may want to reconcile, but I am not interested in revisiting the past


Don't need a girl laying on her back Like hold up wait a minute this bitch went and did it Took my heart and played with it Pla pla pla played with it
I don't want a woman who will use me and play games with my emotions


You Runnin round Ain't haven that Been going through it To hell and back
I know that you have been straying, and it has been emotionally difficult for me


I found the stones Got em off my back Now I'm moving on Ain't no back tracks
I have overcome my emotional burdens and I am ready to move on with my life, without looking back


Now that I can see the truth That the devil is apart of you I'm on my own yea I got the juice A lone lion yea now I am on the move
I see you for who you truly are, and I am ready to take control of my own life and make my own path


You been Runnin round the city Like a foot track Getting high getting drunk bitch What the fuck is that
You have been living recklessly and selfishly, and it is not something that I can tolerate


Man I am finally finished Take take me to the beginning Before I knew you were sinning Because I'm sick of this feeling
I am done with this relationship and want to go back to a time before I knew about your infidelity, because it has caused me too much pain


All this rage that I'm keeping With all this hatred I'm building And all these thoughts that I'm having The fuckin demons I'm fighting
I am struggling with intense anger and hatred towards you, and it is a constant battle to keep these emotions in check


Bitch you can call your highness That's right I'm finally flying Now I got an assignment I own my mind and my grind and
You may think you are above me, but I am finally free and moving forward with my life purposefully and with determination


Figured it out Figured it out Figured it out
I have come to a deep understanding of the situation and am ready to move forward without you
