Running 'round
Lost in the Night: Unraveling the Meaning of 'Running 'round' by John Phillip
Lyrics
Running fast and far I'm losing sight
Feeling a sense of urgency, I'm losing my way
Wearing their shoes, lost in the night
Immersed in others' experiences, wandering in the darkness
Going the wrong way they made me do it
Being influenced to go in the wrong direction by external forces
The meaning of my name I never knew it
Unaware of the significance of my own identity
Do you not get why you came here
Questioning the purpose or reason for one's presence
Did you forget why you're even here
Wondering if the initial motivation or purpose has been forgotten
Do you not get why you came here
Reiterating the questioning of one's purpose or reason for being here
I just keep running 'round
Continuously moving in circles, possibly in a state of confusion or repetition
They don't do nothing now
Others around are inactive or not taking any action
Everything I touch can be mine
Expressing a belief that everything I interact with can be possessed or achieved
But not the life I lost saying, "I'm fine"
Acknowledging the inability to regain a lost life while pretending to be okay
I just tell myself come on and do it
Motivating oneself to take action, urging to move forward
Just take control of what you own it's not their life
Advising to take control of what one owns, emphasizing individuality over external influences
Do you not get why you came here
Repeating the question about the purpose or reason for being here
Did you forget why you're even here
Reiterating the query about forgetting the initial motivation or purpose
Do you not get why you came here
Restating the question regarding the purpose or reason for being here
I just keep running 'round
Persisting in a circular, possibly confused, pattern of behavior
They don't do nothing now
Others around continue to remain inactive or unresponsive
You, ououoo
Uttering a vocal expression, possibly indicating frustration or confusion
You, you are you
Affirming one's own identity in the midst of questioning
Who, ououoo
Pondering the identity of others, expressing uncertainty or curiosity
Who, are they, not you
Distinguishing between oneself and others, emphasizing individuality
