Runnin'
Miriam Rodríguez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These four lonely walls have changed the way I feel
The way I feel
I'm standing still
And nothing else matters now, you're not here
So where are you?
I've been callin' you
I'm missin' you
Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
Chasin' you, chasin' you

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from myself no more
Together we'll win it all
I ain't runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Ain't runnin' from myself no more
I'm ready to face it all
If I lose myself, I lose it all

I've outrun the fears that chased
They're standin' still
I'm runnin' still
I'm runnin' still
And every voice that cried inside my head, forever drives
Forever drives
I've killed the lights, oh

Where else can I go?
And where else can I go?
Chasing you, chasing you oh

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from myself no more
Together we'll win it all
I ain't runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Ain't runnin' from myself no more
I'm ready to face it all





If I lose myself, I lose it all
If I lose myself, I lose it all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics depict a sense of isolation and longing, as the singer is trapped within "four lonely walls," feeling the absence of someone who is no longer present. The chorus conveys a determination to stop running away from oneself and to face the challenges that lie ahead.


The song captures the idea of running as both a physical and emotional act. The singer is tired of running from their own fears and insecurities, realizing that by doing so, they are only running from themselves. The repetition of the word "runnin'" emphasizes this theme and serves as a cathartic release, symbolizing the need to break free from the patterns that hold them back.


The lyrics also suggest a sense of empowerment and resilience. The singer acknowledges that they have already outrun the fears that used to haunt them, indicating personal growth and progress. By "killing the lights," they are metaphorically casting away the darkness and negativity that once consumed them.
