Running Fire
The Duke Spirit Lyrics

"Running Fire" by The Duke Spirit is a song that conveys the message that one cannot always be in control of every situation in life. The lyrics begin with the line, "You can't always be the man," implying that there will be times when one cannot be the leader or in charge of everything. It is important to love what we are doing as much as possible, even when we are not the one in control. The lines, "Go, show the world a way to come back," emphasizes the importance of perseverance, and always trying to find a way to succeed even when it seems impossible.

The chorus, "Don't look now baby, the future don't care, why not try everything, everything, everything, taste like fire," suggests that even when the future seems bleak, one should not give up, but instead try everything, take risks and make mistakes. The repetition of "everything" and the use of fire as a metaphor for risk-taking and exploration convey a sense of urgency and the need to live life without hesitation. The lines, "I have a feeling that the feeling will last, I still wear black when you coming back," are a poignant reminder that time moves on, but some things never change. The song ends with the chorus, signifying that despite uncertainties and challenges, one must continue to move forward and take risks.
