Catch
Runaway Brother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but I wonder if they caught on to me
because i've been dropped a few times
we're in a boat with many holes but i
can swim and i don't need a life vest,
thanks, i can preserve my own life
would we stay true, me and you?
i won't succumb to you
you're really good at making me feel bad about myself
but I won't let that get to me
because i shouldn't care
for lack of a better phrase, you suck
welcome to the bridge
you'll stay on that side like i want you to
it's sad, what i do
harboring hate for those that are like you
i won't succumb to you
i'll stay the same as i've always been
in spite of everything you do
hate for those that are like you
in spite of everything you do
hate for those that are like you
pay for everything you do

In "Catch" by Runaway Brother, the singer contemplates his worth as a friend and potential partner, simultaneously acknowledging his positive qualities while also questioning whether those around him truly see him for who he is. He uses the metaphor of a boat with many holes to describe his own struggles and resilience, asserting that he does not need someone else to save him. The chorus repeats the phrase "I won't succumb to you" as a declaration of independence and self-preservation in the face of potential negative influences.
The bridge of the song marks a shift in perspective, as the singer addresses someone specific and tells them to stay on the other side of a metaphorical bridge. This person seems to bring out negative feelings in the singer, who admits to harboring hatred for those who are similar to them. Despite this, the singer insists that he will not give in to anger or let their actions affect him. The final repetition of "hate for those that are like you" suggests that these negative feelings are not limited to just one person, but are instead a broader reaction to a certain type of behavior or personality.
