Ricky Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't have to run for your life
Come
Don't walk
Don't quit (you got)
Sunburns (and you got)
Chapped lips
Don't trip (come on)
Last chance (what if)
This is it?
Don't move (what have you got yourself into?)
What are you gonna do?
(What have you got yourself into?)
Eraser
You don't have to run for your life
Come bring out all your vampires
Out into the sun and stay awhile
Come meet me at the comedown
When no one's talking about you at all
Tune you out
Sweet talk
First kiss (stayed up)
All night (you know I)
Can't resist
Don't move
What are you gonna do?
Don't move (what have you got yourself into?)
You don't have to go so soon
(What have you got yourself into?) Soon
Eraser
You don't have to run for your life
Come bring out all your vampires
Out into the sun and stay awhile
Come meet me at the comedown
When no one's talking about you at all
Just think, how good will that be
When there's no more little job you gotta do?
Tune it out
The song "Eraser" by Ricky Montgomery carries a sense of encouragement and reassurance to all those who are struggling, overwhelmed, or burdened with self-doubt. The repetition of "Eraser, you don't have to run for your life" echoes the sentiment that we can confront our problems, face them head-on, and overcome them. The song urges us to embrace our flaws, imperfections, and to acknowledge that sometimes we feel lost, vulnerable, or helpless. The line, "What have you got yourself into?" serves as a prompt to reflect on our life choices, but at the same time, it suggests that it's never too late to start over or make things right.
The central theme of the song revolves around finding solace, comfort, and belonging. The lines "Come bring out all your vampires, out into the sun and stay awhile" signify that we should confront our inner demons and not hide them anymore. The imagery of vampires suggests that we often suppress our negative emotions, our flaws or past mistakes, instead of being authentic, honest, and vulnerable. The chorus encourages us to let go of our worries, escape from the constant pressure of society, and be present in the moment.
