Running With My Eyes Closed
Awakening Urban Souls: Running Free with Eyes Closed
Lyrics
Too long living in the city air
Expressing a sense of being confined in urban surroundings for too long.
I’m coming out to breathe
Deciding to step out and take a break to find fresh air.
There’s people on the streets I used to know
Reflecting on encountering people from the past while being outdoors.
And they’re running with their eyes closed
Observing others who are navigating life blindly or without clear direction.
Too long living in the city air
Reiterating the feeling of being confined in urban surroundings for an extended period.
I’m coming out to breathe
Reaffirming the decision to step out and take a breath of fresh air.
There’s people on the streets I used to know
Noticing familiar faces on the streets while being outside.
And they’re running with their eyes closed
Observing others who, like the speaker, are navigating life with closed eyes.
Eyes closed
Emphasizing the theme of navigating life with closed eyes.
In the city where the stars are blocked by those pretty lights
Describing a city where the brilliance of the stars is overshadowed by artificial lights.
Where all the wonderful things that happen are overshadowed by those pretty lights those city nights
Highlighting that the city's beauty is often concealed by distracting lights and busy city nights.
I don’t know what I thought I wanna come back home
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's thoughts but a desire to return home.
I don’t know what I thought I wanna come back home
-I don’t know what I thought but I wanna come back home
