I Will Run
Journey of Redemption: I Will Run by Alien Of Nature
Lyrics
It came apart lines are drawn
There has been a breakdown or separation, and boundaries have been established.
Pain in my heart for way to long
Feeling emotional pain for an extended period.
Do I know right from wrong
Questioning the distinction between right and wrong.
On this road I am paving
Metaphorically constructing a path or journey in life.
Lost my step missed the ground
Feeling disoriented or losing one's footing.
Another place different town
Being in a different location or situation.
Hope my mom will be proud
Desiring approval and pride from a maternal figure.
Of the road I am building
Continuing to build and progress on the chosen path.
Tell my love I'm coming home
Expressing intention to return to loved ones.
I will run
Commitment to take action and run towards the destination.
Smoke careening in the air
Imagery of smoke moving unpredictably, possibly symbolizing uncertainty or chaos.
Factory towns in disrepair
Describing deteriorating industrial towns.
Is the home I'm going back to even there
Doubt about the existence or condition of the place called home.
On this road that keeps changing
Reflecting on a changing and evolving journey.
Tell my love I'm coming home
Reiteration of intent to reunite with loved ones.
I will leave at first light
Planning to depart early in the morning.
I'm ready to leave this road behind
Being prepared to leave behind the current path or situation.
I will run
Reaffirmation of the commitment to run towards the destination.
Nights are long the days are cold
Describing difficult and challenging times.
Running ragged spirits low
Feeling exhausted and emotionally drained.
Not much further now to go
Expressing proximity to the end of the journey.
On this road I am leading
Taking a leadership role in guiding the path.
Tell my love I'm coming home
Reaffirming the intent to return to loved ones.
I will leave at first light
Planning to depart early in the morning (reiterated).
I'm ready to leave this road behind
Ready to abandon the current path and move forward.
I will run by you side
Expressing a commitment to run alongside someone else.
