Run Kid Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep treading water till I drown
After all, I hate to say it but it's all my fault cause I used to be braver
Now I'm trying to find the will to survive all these anchors
They're pulling me down, pulling me
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down, again
Let's start it over let's begin
If only they could hear me when
It's white noise when my voice is calling out
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down
I tried to be somebody else but that's not me
I'm better off just who I am
But without you I'm dying
I used to be braver
Now I'm trying to find the lion inside of this stranger
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down, again
Maybe I should explain first
Let's start it over let's begin
If only they could hear me when
It's white noise when my voice is calling out
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down
There's white noise, there's white noise, in my voice
There's white noise, there's white noise, in my voice
I wanna let it out
But it wasn't my choice,
I tried to avoid every urge to destroy the thoughts were drowning out
There's white noise, there's white noise, in my voice
There's white noise, there's white noise, in my voice
I wanna let it out
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down, again
Maybe I should explain first
Let's start it over let's begin
If only they could hear me when
It's white noise when my voice is calling out
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down
The lyrics of Run Kid Run's song White Noise reflect the struggle of someone who is losing themselves and drowning in the chaos of their own mind. The first verse suggests that the singer is struggling to keep up with life, trying to survive amidst a sea of obstacles that threaten to drag them under. Despite feeling overwhelmed and lost, the singer is hesitant to let anyone down and wants to explain their situation to those around them. The second verse reveals the internal struggle the singer is facing, trying to maintain their true identity while feeling like a stranger to themselves.
The repeated phrase "white noise" represents the confusion and overwhelming thoughts that are keeping the singer from being heard. They want to be understood, but fear that their words are getting lost in the chaos. The chorus expresses the singer's desire to be understood and to not let anyone down, while acknowledging that their voice is struggling to be heard amidst the noise.
The bridge represents a turning point in the singer's journey, as they start to realize that their destructive thoughts are not something they can control. They want to let out their true voice, but the choice seems to have been taken from them. The song ends with the singer hoping to be heard and understood while fighting to reclaim their true identity.
