Running In Place
Journey of Self-Discovery: Running In Place by Bridge Dog
Lyrics
Left you behind on the subway
Left someone behind on the subway
Couldn't decide what to blame so I boarded the train
Boarded a train without deciding what to blame
Didn't I give all I could?
Questioning if maximum effort was given
Did I make a mistake when I said that you stalled me
Wondering if a mistake was made by saying the person stalled personal growth
From being all I could be?
Feeling hindered from reaching full potential
And I thought I could just give it a day
Believing that giving it time would lead to reconciliation
You would come back to me
Hoping for the person to return
I could stop feeling ashamed
Seeking relief from shame
But I guess I'm still disdaining your pain
Still harboring resentment towards the person
I've just been running in place
Expressing the feeling of stagnation, running in place emotionally
Because you don't believe in me
Lack of belief from the other person
And I don't believe in you
Mutual lack of belief between the two
Because I don't believe in me
Personal self-doubt
And you don't believe that's true
Other person's disbelief in the self-doubt
Night out of focus, the rain on the surface
Describing a night with distractions and challenges
The lights were unyielding
Unyielding lights and revealing shadows
The shadows revealing
Symbolizing challenges exposing truths
What's always been here
A realization of what has always been present
That the weakness is fear
Identifying fear as a weakness
And your frame at the stop
Observing someone's presence at a stop
Silhouettes and moves on
Noticing silhouettes and movements
Because you don't believe in me
Reiteration of the lack of belief between the two
And I don't believe in you
Mutual disbelief continuing
Because I don't believe in me
Reiterating personal self-doubt
And you don't believe that's true
Other person's disbelief in the self-doubt persists
