But working around deconstructed and dissonant song measures, they are in a journey of establishing their own distinct sound.

With the constant leaving of members and shuffling of roles since the band got together in 2010, Run Dorothy was only able to define its current identity with Cruz on vocals, Felix Basilio and Bogs del Rey on guitars, Ino Tiglao manning the bass and Jepoy Santos taking care of the drums.

Run Dorothy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Without uncertainty, I choose to finish this story
Keep it somewhere out of reach,
Until the pages yellow
And in time, I'll clear the dust off these letters.
But for now, I'll move ahead and cross these waters.
As for now, I move ahead and cross these waters.

To brave the world alone

I may have been lost, but now I am willing.

Weightless, sailed for hours on end
Fragile ripples, covering the past
I'm weightless, sailed for hours on end

I'm weightless, sailing towards the end

Line by Line Meaning

Without uncertainty, I choose to finish this story
I am confident in my decision to complete this narrative

Keep it somewhere out of reach,
I will place it where it cannot be easily accessed

Until the pages yellow
It will remain untouched until time takes its toll

And in time, I'll clear the dust off these letters.
When the time is right, I will revisit these words

But for now, I'll move ahead and cross these waters.
However, for the present, I will move forward and face new challenges

To brave the world alone
I am willing to confront the world by myself

I may have been lost, but now I am willing.
In the past, I may have been unsure, but now I am prepared

Weightless, sailed for hours on end
I feel unburdened as I travel for long periods

Fragile ripples, covering the past
Evidence of my previous experiences lies beneath the surface

I'm weightless, sailed for hours on end
I feel free as I sail onward

I'm weightless, sailing towards the end
My journey may be coming to a close, but I am still propelled forward
