The Wire
Run From Cover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've seen the end to all these chases but can you tell who wins?
In all the chaos and confusion the damage has been done
Your coming out of your delusions, there's no where left to run
Come out on the wire I've been walkin on if you need to feel alive (come and out and I will show you how) I know we could conspire to leave this all behind. Cause I've seen it in your eyes, I've seen it in your eyes
The broken pieces of your picture are scattered all around, the tension pulls you to the ground now but are you going down? This is the start of all that you have been holding out to find, don't close your eyes don't run away now
Come out on the wire I've been walkin on if you need to feel alive (come and out and I will show you how) I know we could conspire to leave this all behind. Cause I've seen it in your eyes, I've seen it in your eyes
Step away from the line or fall in, take a breath take a chance you're fallin'
Going down running out you need it now. Step it up pull it back you're callin' lay down play it out you're all in, take it in take a spin then let it go
Come out on the wire I've been walkin on if you need to feel alive (come and out and I will show you how) I know we could conspire to leave this all behind. Cause I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
The lyrics of "The Wire" by Run From Cover speak to the chaos and confusion that many people experience in life. The opening line urges the listener to "open your eyes" and take a closer look at the places where their mind is breaking down. Although the end to all our chases is something we may have seen, the question that remains is who wins in this scenario. The damage that has been done is undeniable, and the singer calls out to the listener, saying that there's "nowhere left to run," and encouraging them to step out onto the wire if they need to feel alive.
From the lyrics, it's clear that this song is about taking risks and standing up to the challenges that life presents. The imagery of being on a wire suggests a tightrope walk, a daring feat that requires agility and balance. The broken pieces of the listener's picture are scattered all around them, but they are urged not to close their eyes and run away but rather step out and try to leave it all behind. The listener is being called upon to take a chance, to step it up and to pull back - to take a breath and to take stock of their lives and the risks they need to take to move forward.
