Runnin'
Naughty Boy Beyoncé & Arrow Benjamin 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'm calling you. I'm missing you.
Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
Chasing you, chasing you
Memories turn to dust, please don't bury us
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 fell from the fear that chased me standing still
I'm running still, I'm running still
And every voice that cries inside my head, forever drives
Forever drives, into lights
Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
Chasing you, chasing 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
If I, 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 "Running" by Naughty Boy, Beyonce, and Arrow Benjamin is an emotional piece about a person who feels lost and alone without the person they love. The first verse speaks to the theme of isolation, and highlights how the four walls in the room "have changed the way I feel" and that without the object of their affections, "nothing else matters now, you're not here." This sense of loss and emptiness is echoed in the chorus as well, where the singer is "Chasing you, chasing you" with nowhere else to go. The repetition of the word runnin' reinforces the central message of the song, that the singer is no longer running from themselves or their feelings.
The second verse has a more positive spin, acknowledging that while there may be obstacles in their way, they are ready to face them head-on. The line "I fell from the fear that chased me standing still" speaks to the idea that running away may not always be the best solution, and that sometimes it takes courage to confront one's fears. The final lines of the song, "If I lose myself, I lose it all," express the stakes of the situation and reinforces the idea that the singer is all-in and committed to finding the person they have been missing.
Overall, the song is a powerful reminder of the importance of facing one's feelings head-on and not shying away from difficult emotions. The repetition of the chorus and the use of the word runnin' throughout the song give it a sense of urgency and intensity, while the soaring vocals of Beyonce and emotive lyrics add to its emotional impact.

These four lonely walls have changed the way I feel
The environment around me has altered my emotional state
The way I feel, I'm standing still
The emotions I'm feeling are causing me to feel immobile
And nothing else matters now, you're not here
The absence of you has made everything else insignificant
So where are you? I'm calling you. I'm missing you.
I am searching for you and longing for your presence
Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
There is nowhere else for me to turn
Chasing you, chasing you
I am pursuing you with all my effort
Memories turn to dust, please don't bury us
My fond recollections are slowly fading away, please don't let our relationship crumble as well
I got you, I got you
I am here for you, I will never leave your side
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
I am constantly moving to evade my problems
Ain't runnin' from myself no more
I am facing my inner struggles head-on
Together we'll win it all
We will overcome any obstacles as a team
I'm ready to face it all
I am prepared to confront any challenges that come my way
If I lose myself, I lose it all
If I succumb to my fears, I will lose everything
I fell from the fear that chased me standing still
My anxiety is preventing me from making progress
I'm running still, I'm running still
I am continuously pushing forward towards success
And every voice that cries inside my head, forever drives
The negative thoughts in my mind are urging me to keep moving forward
Into lights
Towards a brighter future
