Running With Scissors
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Haunting Journey of 'Running With Scissors'
Lyrics
The truth cannot be anymore clear
The truth is crystal clear.
And I'm not asking you to hold on
There's no request to hold on.
It's everything that you ever feared
Everything you fear is unfolding.
I know you're trying so hard to move on
You are making an effort to move forward.
It kind of feels like someone
It feels like someone has taken the place of the heart that used to be yours.
Replaced the heart that once was yours
Struggling to become someone else.
I'm trying hard to be someone
The speaker is striving to be a specific person.
But falling short of the person I want to be
Falling short of the desired self.
I want to be
Reiterating the desire to become a better version of oneself.
So I'll pretend I'm letting go
Pretending to let go of something.
While you're dancing in the past without colors
While you engage in past experiences without vibrancy.
You'll be the one running away in my nightmares
You will be the haunting presence in the speaker's nightmares.
I'm letting go
Confirming the act of letting go.
You said you'd never ever look back
Recalling a promise not to look back.
You'll be the one running away in my nightmares
You become the nightmare for the speaker.
Trying hard to be someone
Striving to be someone else persistently.
But falling short of the person I want to be
Falling short of the envisioned self.
Trying hard to be someone
Continuing the effort to become someone else.
But falling short of the person I want to be
Still falling short of the desired self.
I want to be
Reiterating the desire to become a better version of oneself.
Running, running, running
Repeated emphasis on the act of running.
Running, running, running
-Running, running, running
-Running, running, running
-The truth cannot be anymore clear
Reiteration of the crystal-clear truth.
And I'm not asking you to hold on
No expectation for you to hold on.
It's everything that you ever feared
Repeating the revelation of feared realities.
So I'll pretend I'm letting go
Pretending once more to let go.
While you're dancing in the past without colors
Dancing in a past devoid of colors.
You'll be the one running away in my nightmares
You will be the nightmare in the speaker's mind.
I'm letting go
Reaffirming the act of letting go.
You said you'd never ever look back
Recalling the commitment not to look back.
You'll be the one I want to be, I want to be
Expressing the desire to become the envisioned self.
I want to be
-It kind of feels like someone
Reiteration of someone replacing the heart.
Replaced the heart that once was yours
Continuing the effort to be someone else.
I'm trying hard to be someone
Emphasizing the struggle to transform.
So I'll pretend I'm letting go
Pretending once again to let go of something.
While you're dancing in the past without colors
Dancing in a past without vibrant experiences.
You'll be the one running away in my nightmares
You will be the haunting presence in the speaker's nightmares.
I'm letting go
Reiterating the act of letting go.
You said you'd never ever look back
Recalling the promise never to look back.
You'll be the one running away in my nightmares
You become the nightmare in the speaker's mind.
