Running
Veyu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find the bright lights calling my name
But the call didn't reach my ears
So i fell to the ground in fear
What happens to me now
How will the world find out
Will the seasons change
To leave me running in the rain
Through the backstreets ill be running
Into the listless arms of nothing
Into another dead end i run
Trying to find a way in the darkness
Through the backstreets ill be running
Into the listless arms of nothing
Into another dead end i run
It's getting hard to keep on running
Is there a place where we can go
To thaw our bones
A place we can call home and see
Things the way they should be seen
Because i don't know
Head from heart
Or wrong from right
All i know is this is life, this is life
Through the backstreets ill be running
Into the listless arms of nothing
Into another dead end i run
Trying to find a way in the darkness
Through the backstreets ill be running
Into the listless arms of nothing
Into another dead end i run
It's getting hard to keep on running
"Running" by Veyu is a reflective song about running away from one's problems and searching for a brighter future.

The line "So I fell to the ground in fear" emphasizes the disappointment and fear that comes with realizing the lack of purpose despite trying to run away. The singer then wonders what will happen to them, if the world will acknowledge their existence, or if they are going to be left running in the rain.
The chorus of the song highlights how the singer is running to face their problems, and despite their efforts, they always end up in a dead-end, struggling to find their way back.

Que en 2014 alguien sea capaz de captar la esencia de los temas de los 80 es para quitarse el sombrero. ¡¡¡¡Aún hay esperanza!!!! 🤣
