Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I can't believe my eyes
Oh what am I gonna do?
When it's got me so hypnotized?
It's got me runnin'
Goin' insane
It's got me doin' things against my heart and my brain
All self-control
It's got me doin' things against my heart and my soul
It's got me runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
Baby did I mention
That now I feel so much tension
From grabbing all your attention
What we gonna do?
Learning you turns me on
When the feelings there are so strong
Feels so good that it feels so wrong (So wrong)
Too good to be true
Groovy baby
Got me goin' crazy
Oh now baby it's so nice to meet ya
Let me tell you how I love your features
Baby won't you come on through?
It's got me runnin'
Goin' insane
It's got me doin' things against my heart and my brain
It's got me losin'
All self-control
It's got me doin' things against my heart and my soul
It's got me runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
And keep me under your spell
And I'll reap just what I sow, well
I promise that I won't act up but right
Ironically I'm stuck on you, like
It's got me runnin'
Goin' insane
It's got me doin' things against my heart and my brain
It's got me losin'
All self-control
It's got me doin' things against my heart and my soul
(It's got me runnin')
(Runnin')
(Runnin')
(Runnin', runnin')
It's got me runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
It's got me runnin' (Groovy baby)
Runnin' (Got me goin' crazy)
Runnin' (Groovy baby)
Runnin', runnin' (Got me goin' crazy)
Oh!
The lyrics of Mallewi's song "Runnin'" depict a scenario where the singer finds themselves in a situation that feels too good to be true. They express disbelief and wonder what they should do as they feel completely captivated and hypnotized by this experience.
The repetition of the phrase "It's got me runnin'" suggests that this overwhelming feeling has taken control of the singer's thoughts and actions. They feel as if they are going insane, doing things that go against what their heart and brain tell them. This could symbolize the internal conflict between their desires and what they know is right.
The second verse introduces a sense of tension and attraction. The singer mentions the excitement they feel from being the center of attention and how this feeling turns them on. They acknowledge that these intense emotions feel so good, yet at the same time, they recognize the inherent wrongness in indulging in this forbidden pleasure.
The term "groovy" is used to describe the overwhelming effect this experience has on the singer. It's as if they are becoming infatuated and crazed by the intensity of their emotions. They express a desire for the other person to come closer, highlighting their yearning for connection and continuation of this captivating situation.
The final part of the song speaks to the singer being under a spell - a metaphorical surrender to the power this experience holds over them. They acknowledge that they will face the consequences of their actions, but they can't help but be entangled in this paradoxical situation, like being stuck in a captivating and irresistible loop.
Overall, the lyrics portray a struggle between the intoxicating allure of an enticing situation and the internal conflicted emotions it generates. It highlights the irresistible pull and the loss of control that can occur when one is caught up in something that feels too good to be true.
