Justice
Up & Running Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I check myself 'cause I'm staring.
But I would rather be blind
If I couldn't see that there's just no comparing.
I don't want you walkin' away
So don't leave I need ya to stay
I can't breath but what can I say
Whooohooo
I got you inside of my head
My heart's beatin' out of my chest
But some things are better unsaid
Words don't do you justice
Gotta see to believe it
'Cause I can't describe the way I feel
But I know I feel it
Words don't do you justice
So call me a liar
There's nothing I can say or do
So I keep quiet
Words don't do you justice
Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
Words don't do you justice
You got that look in your eyes
Like you've been runnin' from something
We all got demons inside
But a girl like you should be ashamed of nothin'
I don't want you walkin' away
So don't leave I need ya to stay
I can't breathe but what can I say
Whooohooo
I got you inside of my head
My heart's beating outta my chest
but some things are better unsaid
Words don't do you justice
Gotta see to believe it
'Cause I can't describe the way I feel
But I know I feel it
Words don't do you justice
So call me a liar
There's nothing I can say or do
So I keep quiet
Words don't do you justice
Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
Words don't do you justice
Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
Words don't do you justice
I can't help it
No, I can't help it
'Cause I just felt it
So I can't help it
(NO, NO!)
I can't help it
(Noooooo ohhhh)
No I can't help it
(Ahhhhhh)
'Cause I just felt it
(Nahhhhh)
Words don't do you justice
Gotta see to believe it
(see to believe it)
'Cause I can't describe the way I feel
But I know I feel it
Words don't do you justice
(Whooohooo)
So call me a liar
(Whooohooo)
There's nothing I can say or do
So I keep quiet
Words don't do you justice
(JUSTIIIIICEEE)
Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
(Gotta see to believe it)
Words don't do you justice
Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
(Noooooo ohhhh)
Words don't do you justice
The lyrics of "Justice" by Up & Running capture a sense of inner turmoil and longing for connection. The opening lines convey a feeling of confusion and desperation, with the singer feeling like they are losing their mind and struggling to make sense of their emotions. They express a desire to remain blind to certain truths rather than face the harsh reality of their situation, emphasizing the depth of their feelings and the difficulty of expressing them.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that words are inadequate to describe the intensity of the emotions being experienced. The singer feels a deep connection to someone, but struggles to articulate their feelings effectively, resorting to silence as a way to convey the complexity of their emotions. The repetition of the phrase "Words don't do you justice" underscores the idea that some feelings transcend language and can only be truly understood through experience and observation.
The lyrics also touch on themes of insecurity and vulnerability, as the singer expresses a fear of abandonment and a longing for the object of their affection to stay. Despite their intense feelings, they are unable to find the right words to express themselves fully, leading to a sense of frustration and helplessness. The mention of demons and shame suggests a deeper emotional struggle within the singer, further highlighting their inner turmoil.
Overall, "Justice" conveys a sense of longing, emotional complexity, and the struggle to find the right words to express deep feelings. The repetition of the chorus and the emotive vocals in the song emphasize the power of non-verbal communication and the limitations of language when it comes to truly capturing the depth of human emotions. The haunting melody and introspective lyrics invite listeners to contemplate the complexity of relationships and the challenges of expressing profound emotions.

Feels like I'm losin' my mind
I feel overwhelmed and confused
And I check myself 'cause I'm staring
I reflect on my actions because I'm captivated
But I would rather be blind
I'd prefer not to see
If I couldn't see that there's just no comparing
Unless I realize there's nothing to compare it to
I don't want you walkin' away
I don't want you to leave
So don't leave I need ya to stay
Please don't go, I need you here
I can't breath but what can I say
I am speechless and overwhelmed
Words don't do you justice
Words cannot fully describe you
Gotta see to believe it
You have to witness it to understand
I got you inside of my head
You are on my mind constantly
My heart's beatin' out of my chest
I am experiencing intense emotions
But some things are better unsaid
Sometimes it's best to keep silent
So call me a liar
You may doubt my sincerity
There's nothing I can say or do
I am at a loss for words or actions
So I keep quiet
Therefore, I remain silent
You got that look in your eyes
There is a certain intensity in your gaze
Like you've been runnin' from something
It seems like you are trying to escape
We all got demons inside
We all have inner struggles
But a girl like you should be ashamed of nothin'
You have nothing to be ashamed of
I can't help it
I cannot control it
'Cause I just felt it
Because I just experienced it
