Running
St. Solaire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From my home to another place
I'm just running, cause I can not stay
It's fucked up when at home you don't feel safe
I'm just running - running away
From my home to another place
I'm just running, cause I can not stay
It's fucked up when at home you don't feel safe
End of this world - it keeps coming
I wanna feel love - feel something
At the end of this day, I'm just nothing
I'm just running - running away
Hope that one day I'm gonna feel safe
But if not then I'll be running forever
Fucked up life, hard to keep it together, yeah
I'm just running - running away
From my home to another place
I'm just running, cause I can not stay
It's fucked up when at home you don't feel safe
I'm just running - running away
From my home to another place
I'm just running, cause I can not stay
It's fucked up when at home you don't feel safe
Fifty nine, sixty one - that's on my neck
I feel paranoid and I feel so stressed
Grandma told me - chase boy, you'll be next
Rest in peace, love you, I just hope you're blessed
I need codeine, promethazine
I got a recipe, this is self made lean
I can feel your body through my screen
So many drugs - I'm sure my piss ain't clean
I'm just running - running away
From my home to another place
I'm just running, cause I can not stay
It's fucked up when at home you don't feel safe
I'm just running - running away
From my home to another place
I'm just running, cause I can not stay
It's fucked up when at home you don't feel safe
I don't feel safe
Praying for another day
The song "Running" by St. Solaire is a tragic narrative of a person who escapes from their home because they don't feel safe. The lyrics suggest that the person has been living in an environment where they've faced violence or abuse, which has damaged their mental and emotional state. The person is constantly on the move, running from their home to another place, hoping to find a safe haven. The lyrics "I won't stop - I'll keep running, End of this world - it keeps coming" imply that the person is trying to escape from their troubles, not just in their personal life but also in the world at large.
The lyrics "I wanna feel love - feel something, At the end of this day, I'm just nothing" suggests that the person is not only running away from their problems but also trying to find something to hold on to. The person is looking for love in a world that seems devoid of it. The song conveys a feeling of hopelessness as the person keeps running and even though they hope to find a sense of safety one day, they don't seem too optimistic about it.
The lyrics reveal the darker side of life and make a poignant commentary on the reality of many people who are living in dangerous and unsafe situations. It's a reminder that there are people out there who are struggling, and it's important to provide them with the necessary support and help they need.
