Run or Hide
Run River North Lyrics

Lying in the dark
Being in a state of fear or anxiety.

With your shadow, shadow hanging over me
Feeling haunted by something or someone from the past.

Shaking the ground, your footsteps footsteps calling out my name
Feeling the haunting presence coming closer and closer.

After the races
Having been through something intense or traumatic.

But all of these faces keep rolling by me now
Feeling disconnected from the people around and unable to connect with them.

I don't understand these lines in my hand all look the same all look the same
Feeling lost and uncertain, unable to find any guidance or direction.

I think I changed my mind about a million times
Experiencing indecisiveness and uncertainty.

Oh to run or hide
Feeling the need to escape from something or someone.

I'm gonna call this out
Determined to confront the issue at hand.

I'm coming back somehow
Feeling motivated to overcome the fear and anxiety.

I will run or hide
Still unsure about what to do and finding it difficult to make a decision.

Lions tearing apart
Feeling overwhelmed and powerless against something strong and dangerous.

I see them breaking breaking
Watching the situation worsen and feeling helpless to stop it.

But I can't let them start
Feeling the need to prevent something dangerous from happening.

So I let them in
Giving in to the fear and anxiety and allowing it to take over.

I feel them feel them tearing up my skin
Feeling the physical impact of the fear and anxiety on the body.

The lions touch you here
Feeling the fear and anxiety directly, as if it were a physical danger.

You only give what you get
Feeling like the fear and anxiety are a result of something that has been brought on by the self.

You're tying to keep this in
Trying to hide the fear and anxiety from others, possibly out of shame or embarrassment.

Spit it out
Feeling the need to express and release the emotions.

To run or hide
Still stuck in indecision and feeling the need to escape or confront.

I'm gonna crawl this out
Determined to find a way through the fear and anxiety, even if it means taking small steps.

I won't run or hide
Feeling more resolved and sure about not giving into the fear and anxiety.
