Naughty Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Chasin' you, chasin' you
Memories turn to dust
Please don't bury us, I got you
I got you
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Ain't 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'
Ain't 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
If I lose myself, I lose it all
If I lose myself, I lose it all
The song “Runnin” by Naughty Boy featuring Beyonce and Arrow Benjamin is a captivating piece that communicates strong emotions of despair, loneliness, and a desire for redemption. The lyrics are structured in a way that it creates a theme of running away from something that the singer is afraid of. In this case, the person is running away from themselves, the memories that they have buried, and the pain that they are feeling. The opening lines, “these four lonely walls have changed the way I feel”, indicates a strong emotion of loneliness and confinement. The singer feels trapped and defeated by their internal struggles, which is why they are asking themselves, “where else can I go?”.
The major theme in the song is self-redemption. The singer tells themselves that they are done running from themselves and they are ready to face their struggles without any fear. They are convinced that together with the person they are addressing, they can overcome the challenges that they are facing. The lyrics, “if I lose myself, I lose it all” emphasizes the importance of self-discovery, and how it can lead to a great victory.
The song’s chorus is catchy, and powerful at the same time. It has an upbeat rhythm that makes it more captivating, and the vocals are perfect, especially when Beyoncé enters the scene with her powerful voice. The three singers bring an emotional punch to the chorus that perfectly captures the song's message.
