Lyrics
Running away, But I can't run away
Feeling the impulse to escape, but unable to do so.
Know that I won't get far I'm still gone try
Acknowledging that progress might be limited, yet determined to attempt.
My younger self is screaming underwater
Experiencing inner turmoil and distress like drowning.
While I'm waving from shore
Observing the distance from a safe place while being detached.
Miles away
Physically far away from a point of reference.
Miles away
Emphasizing the distance or emotional detachment once more.
It's a little boy tryna find his way home but he can't go home cuz they don't know he left
Depicting a young individual seeking a way back but feeling unable due to family unawareness.
He snuck out in the middle of the night no cars on the road still tryna catch his breath
Escaping discreetly at night, struggling and anxious.
Grew apart from his family they treat him like a stranger
Experiencing estrangement from family, feeling like a stranger.
Anger was the last thing on his heart, but the first thing on his mind
Emphasizing a shift from hurt to anger as the primary emotion.
He played a role in a movie that he seen too many times
Feeling trapped in a repetitive role, mirroring a familiar movie.
He gone find a way oh my
Expressing hope and determination for self-discovery.
Hope he find a way oh my
Reiterating hope for self-discovery among many others in similar situations.
It's so many lost souls in the crossroads going down a dark path
Highlighting the prevalence of lost individuals making dark choices.
Can't tell when they stuck in the crossfire
Indicating difficulty in recognizing when stuck in the midst of conflict.
Caught too deep in like barbed wire
Describing a feeling of being deeply entangled or trapped.
I love my dawg no rottweiler
Expressing loyalty to a friend, comparing it to a faithful dog.
If you with me never leave my side
Seeking constant companionship and support.
Feelings in the attic but my thoughts in the basement
Emotions stored away while thoughts remain unresolved.
Can't go home my spot went vacant
Unable to return to a familiar place due to it being unavailable or changed.
Gotta go harder I can't keep waiting
Feeling the urgency to intensify efforts rather than wait passively.
Tryna catch up to myself
Attempting to catch up with oneself, but feeling both ahead and behind simultaneously.
But I'm too far ahead and too far behind
Experiencing a paradoxical situation of being both too advanced and too delayed in personal growth.
At the same damn time
Stuck in conflicting circumstances simultaneously.
Stuck in my ways you can't change my mind
Being resistant to change despite the circumstances.
Throw your gang signs up for my bandits
Encouraging solidarity with a group, possibly outcasts or rebels.
You can't see their scars covered up in bandages
Highlighting hidden wounds concealed beneath surface appearances.
Don't pull out your card I'll pay for the damage
Offering to take responsibility for any damage caused.
First they here than they gone
Expressing the transient nature of companionship or support.
Can't wait till that day come when we stop
Anticipating the end of a relentless pursuit or struggle.
Running away, But I can't run away
Reiterating the desire to run away despite the impossibility.
Know that I won't get far I'm still gone try
Knowing the limitations but still willing to make an attempt.
My younger self is screaming underwater
Continuing to feel overwhelmed by past distress.
While I'm waving from shore
Observing personal distress while being at a distance from it.
