Racing Glaciers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to get away
I don't know, I don't know how to leave this place
Running water, don't you know my name?
Meet me outside
Where the lights are low
Bring your heart, bring your heart it's my time to go
You will know, you will know, you will know my shame
I want to leave, I want to leave it all
Take it slow, let it go like an open door
And if you leave it, don't let it wait too long
Walking, talking
I see it falling
Hit start, go again
My new electric friend
All of my thoughts are nothing at all in the end
I can wait, I can take my time
A quiet pain, a thorn in my side
Warm winds, won't you carry me on
Heavy hands and a hole in my mind
Broken windows, and the cars below
It's my time, it's my time, it's my time to go
Running water, time to go...
I can wait, I can take my time
A quiet pain, a thorn in my side
Warm winds, won't you carry me on
Heavy hands and a hole in my mind
I can wait, I can take my time
A quiet pain, a thorn in my side
Warm winds, won't you carry me on
Heavy hands and a hole in my mind
The first two lines of the song, "I want to get out, I want to get away" suggest a desire to escape from a difficult situation, but the following line, "I don't know how to leave this place" shows a certain level of uncertainty or perhaps fear about doing so. The line "Running water, don't you know my name?" is an interesting one as it could be interpreted in different ways. One interpretation could be that the singer is asking for some kind of recognition or acknowledgement from the environment around them. Alternatively, it could be a rhetorical question suggesting that the natural world is indifferent and therefore the singer feels a sense of alienation.
The chorus, "Meet me outside, where the lights are low, bring your heart, bring your heart, it's my time to go, because in the morning, in the morning time, you will know, you will know, you will know my shame," seems to suggest a kind of farewell or departure. There is a sense of finality in the words "it's my time to go" and "you will know my shame". These lines could suggest that the singer feels guilty or ashamed about something and wants to leave before that shame is exposed.
The second verse starts with "I want to leave, I want to leave it all" which repeats the desire to escape, but this time the advice is to "take it slow, let it go like an open door". The idea here seems to be that rather than rushing headlong into a new situation or leaving with haste, the singer should take their time and leave with grace. The line "walking, talking, I see it falling, hit start, go again, my new electric friend" is interesting as it suggests a relationship between the singer and technology. Technology is presented as a friend that helps the singer to keep going and start afresh.
Overall, Racing Glaciers' song "Morning" seems to be about a desire to escape from a difficult situation, but with a sense of uncertainty about how to do so. There are themes of shame and guilt, as well as a feeling of being disconnected from the natural world. The song also touches on the idea of using technology as a means of coping or escape.
