Runaway Train
Navigating Love's Turbulence: A Journey with Brandon Boyd's Runaway Train
Lyrics
Presently, the future is in the middle of a love triangle,
The present moment finds itself entangled in a complicated relationship involving three parties: the future, calamity, and the speaker.
With calamity and me in the corner starting to feel uncomfortable,
The speaker is positioned in a corner, feeling uneasy as calamity and the future play a role in the unfolding scenario.
Should I douse the spark or fan the flames or merely think of clever things to say?
The speaker contemplates whether to extinguish the emerging conflict, intensify it, or simply come up with clever words to address the situation.
The more I try to separate, the better it fells to get right in the way.
Attempts to distance oneself from the situation prove counterproductive, and the speaker finds satisfaction in getting involved.
And I try so hard to get out of the way of that runaway train.
The speaker exerts effort to avoid interference with an unstoppable force, metaphorically described as a runaway train.
Oh, how I do love the rain.
The speaker expresses a love for rain, possibly symbolizing a cleansing or refreshing aspect amid the challenges.
Seems to me that being in the middle is starting to get me in trouble.
Being in the middle of the conflict proves troublesome for the speaker.
I tried to run away but they have a talent for making trouble seem enjoyable.
Efforts to escape the troubles are unsuccessful, as the allure of trouble makes it seem enjoyable.
The more I try to separate, the better it fells to get right in the way.
Similar to line #4, the speaker finds satisfaction in being part of the conflict rather than trying to separate from it.
Should I douse the sparks or fan the flames or merely think of clever things to say?
A repetition of the contemplation of whether to escalate or dampen the conflict, or to rely on clever words.
And I try so hard to get out of the way of that runaway train.
Reiteration of the speaker's struggle to avoid the overpowering force symbolized as a runaway train.
Oh, how I do love the rain.
A repeated expression of love for rain, possibly suggesting an appreciation for the cleansing or transformative nature of challenges.
Runaway train
An explicit mention of a runaway train, emphasizing the powerful and uncontrollable nature of the force causing turmoil.
And I try so hard to get out of that runaway train.
A renewed effort to escape the impact of the runaway train, highlighting the persistent struggle against overwhelming forces.
Oh, how I do love the rain.
A repeated expression of love for rain, serving as a recurring theme possibly symbolizing the speaker's affinity for overcoming challenges.
Runaway train
A repetition of the mention of a runaway train, concluding the lyrics with the continued presence of the powerful, uncontrolled force.
