Forrest Gump
Escape the Dead-End: Digitalism's Sonic Journey of Liberation
Lyrics
Direction swapped, compass is his
Direction has changed, now he possesses the compass.
Sometimes it's much, yes, sometimes it is
Sometimes it's significant, and at other times, it isn't.
She may be off, but you be on her list
She might be off-track, but you're included in her plans or considerations.
No time to touch, no time to kiss
There's no time for physical contact, no time for intimacy.
A total waste of capacity
A complete squandering of one's potential or abilities.
Could be a taste of what it means to me
Possibly a sample of what holds significance for the singer.
No one gives back, holding empty hands
No one reciprocates, holding nothing in their hands.
She's got the script, for your romance
She possesses the plan or storyline for your romantic involvement.
Some ways just don't end up here
Some paths or approaches don't lead to this place or outcome.
Dead-end, shake up, and go clear
A dead-end situation, shake it off and move forward clearly.
And so you run
Therefore, you flee or escape.
And then you run
And subsequently, you flee or escape.
And then you run
Repeated indication of fleeing or escaping.
It's not for good, but I think it should
It's not permanently leaving, but the singer thinks it should be.
You run
You flee or escape.
Just start to count, you go underground
Simply commence counting, and you disappear or go beneath the surface.
A line in just, comply in just
A reference to justice and compliance.
Control, you got, control at last
Finally gaining control or authority.
Believe it out on it's time to talk
Believe in the truth; it's time to communicate or discuss.
Sometimes you roll, this time you stop
At times you progress smoothly, but now you halt or stop.
And then she set you up
Then she arranged things against you.
Yes, she set you up, oh, oh, oh, oh
Repeated emphasis on her actions setting things against you.
Don't you let us down, we want you not
Do not disappoint us, we expect you to perform well.
Don't you let us down
Repeated emphasis on not letting others down.
No time to wait, we're almost done
No time to wait, as things are almost finished.
This ain't "get lays," no time to lose, but time to run
This isn't about casual relationships; there's no time to waste, only time to escape or flee.
And so you run
Therefore, you flee or escape.
And then you run
And subsequently, you flee or escape.
And then you run
Repeated indication of fleeing or escaping.
It's not for good, but I think it should
It's not permanently leaving, but the singer thinks it should be.
You run
You flee or escape.
Just start to count, you go underground
Simply commence counting, and you disappear or go beneath the surface.
And then you run
And subsequently, you flee or escape.
