Better Run
Embrace the Flames: BADTALKERS' Call to Break Free
Lyrics
When the matches strike there'll be nowhere to hide
Anticipation of a challenging situation with no escape when the "matches strike."
It eats you up at night, the voice says it's alright
The internal struggle represented by a voice that reassures despite the unsettling nature of the situation.
Don't just shut your eyes to escape this nightmare
Encouragement not to ignore the reality but confront the unsettling circumstances.
Runnin' you're runnin' to stay awake
Running as a metaphorical way to cope with difficulties and stay alert.
Dark streets, they call you to change your name
The call of change from the challenges represented by dark streets.
A trapped soul, hiding, no escape
A feeling of being trapped without a way out, emphasizing the intensity of the situation.
A fire's running all through your veins
An intense and consuming emotional experience likened to fire coursing through one's veins.
Or would you risk it all than fix this to be saved
The choice between risking everything and fixing the situation to be saved.
This fire's burnin' faster than roads unpaved
The urgency and intensity of the emotional turmoil symbolized by a rapidly burning fire.
You better run, better run, better run, or you'll never let go, you'll never let go
A repeated warning to run, suggesting the difficulty of letting go of the situation.
Crawling to get away from this electric maze
Struggling to escape a confusing and challenging situation represented as an "electric maze."
Cold eyes feeds lies
The deceitful nature of some individuals symbolized by "cold eyes" that feed lies.
Sealed lips feels right
Choosing silence or secrecy as a means of coping with the situation.
Trapped doors, trapped doors, to make your way
An indication of obstacles and challenges represented by "trapped doors."
Dark streets, they call you to change your name
A repetition of the call for change and challenges through dark streets.
Runnin', runnin' to escape
Continued emphasis on the act of running to escape difficulties.
A fire's running all through your veins
Reiteration of the intense and consuming emotional experience, symbolized by the fire within.
Or would you risk it all than fix this to be saved
The dilemma between taking significant risks or finding a solution to be saved.
This fire's burnin' faster than roads unpaved
Highlighting the rapid and intense nature of the emotional turmoil represented by the burning fire.
You better run, better run, better run, or you'll never let go, you'll never let go
Repeated urgency to run, suggesting the challenge of letting go of the situation.
Time's up like a road on a cliff

Staring down death but you gotta admit that
