Running
Onlap Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think that I'm alright
I think I'm not so tired
I just feel the pressure of
All the things that I have in mind

I wanted peace, I wanted to be fine
I wonder why I cannot just sit for a while
I really wanna see what it looks like

To have a moment I know that would be mine

When the windows are all closed
Like a picture of the time
When the future is a hole
You're looking for

Save me from everything
Tell me where to find my way
I'm just looking for something
I can't make it another day

‘cause I'm
Falling down
Fading away
‘cause I'm
Falling down
This is what I know I just keep on running

Always working fast and hard
Never thinking about now
Believing I'm happy thanks to
All the things I have to try

I wanted peace, I wanted to be fine
I wonder why I cannot just sit for a while
I really wanna see what it looks like
To have a moment I know that would be mine
Would be mine

Save me from everything
Tell me where to find my way
I'm just looking for something
I can't make it another day

‘cause I'm
Falling down
Fading away
‘cause I'm
Falling down
This is what I know I just keep on running

If I survive
If I am strong
Why do I feel like I'm never close
But I'll survive
And I'll be strong

Save me from everything
Tell me where to find my way
I'm just looking for something
I can't make it another day

‘cause I'm
Falling down
Fading away
‘cause I'm
Falling down
This is what I know I just keep on running
I keep on running

‘cause I'm
Falling down
Fading away
‘cause I'm

Falling down
This is what I know I just keep on running

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Onlap's "Running" express a feeling of being overwhelmed by life's pressures and responsibilities. The singer acknowledges that they are not physically tired, but they are feeling the weight of everything they have on their mind. They long for peace and a moment that belongs to them, but they seem unable to slow down and take a break. Instead, they keep running and working hard, always focused on the future and what they have to try. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "falling down, fading away" as if the singer is starting to lose control over their life.

In the second verse, the singer reflects on how they have been conditioned to believe that having many responsibilities and possessions translates into happiness. However, they suspect that this might not be entirely true and that they need to find something else to feel fulfilled. The song ends with a glimmer of hope as the singer vows to survive and be strong, even though they are still running and struggling.

Overall, "Running" seems to be a reflection on the human condition and how the demands of modern life can make us feel lost and disconnected from ourselves. The song encourages the listener to slow down, take a breath, and look for what truly matters in life.

(Save me from everything)
(Tell me where to find my way)
(I'm just looking for something)
(I can't make it another day)

I think that I'm all right
I think I'm not too tired
I just feel the pressure of
All the things that I have in mind

I wanted peace, I wanted to be fine
I wonder why I cannot just sit for a while
I really wanna see what it looks like
To have a moment I know that would be mine

When the windows are all closed
Like a picture of the time
When the future is a hole
You're looking for

Save me from everything
Tell me where to find my way
I'm just looking for something
I can't make it another day
Cause I'm falling down
Fading away
Cause I'm falling down
This is what I know I just keep on running

Always working fast and hard
Never thinking about now
Believing I'm happy thanks to
All the things that I have to try

I wanted peace, I wanted to be fine
I wonder why I cannot just sit for a while
I really wanna see what it looks like
To have a moment I know that would be mine
Would be mine

Save me from everything
Tell me where to find my way
I'm just looking for something
I can't make it another day
Cause I'm falling down
Fading away
Cause I'm falling down
This is what I know I just keep on running

If I survive
If I am strong
Why do I feel like I'm never close
But I'll survive
And I'll be strong

Save me from everything
Tell me where to find my way
I'm just looking for something
I can't make it another day
Cause I'm falling down
Fading away
Cause I'm falling down
This is what I know I just keep on running
I keep on running, woah

Cause I'm falling down
Fading away
Cause I'm falling down
This is what I know I just keep on running
