Lyrics
I found myself
Expressing self-discovery or self-awareness
Lost again
Feeling lost or directionless
Inside a hole you dug for sympathy
Being in a situation created by someone else to gain sympathy
Now everybody's gotta hold back
Others restraining themselves due to the situation
To hold back
Reiterating the need for restraint or holding back
And I'd escape
Seeking escape from confinement
From cage to cave
Transitioning from one restrictive environment to another
To hold up until I start to feel brave
Enduring challenges until courage is regained
But we both know that I'd just blow that
Acknowledging a tendency to sabotage progress
And it will show tonight when
Anticipating the consequences to be revealed tonight
You get a little bit closer
Approaching intimacy or closeness
Like we both know you'll be gone tomorrow
Expecting the person to leave in the near future
We'll always be running
Emphasizing a perpetual state of fleeing or avoiding
I keep running back you're running solo
Indicating a recurring pattern of returning despite being alone
I watched you build a wall and then
Observing the construction of emotional barriers
I knew I was just setting myself up for a fall again
Realizing vulnerability and expecting disappointment
Make sure the kings horses and men know I'm coming
Signaling intent to confront challenges and adversaries
When the walls you made start to crack and fade
Anticipating the breakdown of constructed defenses
Until there's nothing left but the character you played
Highlighting the diminishing authenticity in one's character
Everyone will start to attack
Expecting criticism or opposition from others
But you know that
Acknowledging awareness of the situation
You're always running and running
Describing a perpetual state of running away
You see me running up ahead
Noticing someone chasing or pursuing
You're always running and running
Reiterating the theme of constant running
You're running over me again
Experiencing being overwhelmed or dominated
