Chasing Shadows: Jony Shelby's Runaway Anthem
Lyrics
Yea. Yea. Yea
Expressing affirmation or agreement.
I just run around, I don't feel no ways
Engaging in aimless activities without emotional involvement.
Got a girl back home she still waiting on me
Having a partner back home waiting while feeling disconnected.
I'm fuckin 25 and I'm feelin old age
Feeling a sense of aging at 25.
But these problems ain't gonna catch me
Confidently avoiding and overcoming personal issues.
I just run run run from from from you, that's what I'm gonna do
Intention to run away from someone or something repetitively.
Tapped out, more bills to pay
Financial difficulties with more bills to pay.
And that first verse girl left me yesterday
Expressing the recent breakup with a girl in the first verse.
Now I gotta lie and say I'm OK
Feeling the need to pretend everything is fine after a breakup.
Fuck these problems man, they won't get to me
Determined to resist and overcome life's challenges.
Got me running running running from from from you, that's what I gotta do
Continuing the theme of running away from problems.
This world got me so done done done, I just run run run run
Expressing frustration with the world and the need to escape.
Whoa, I just run run run from from from you
Reiterating the desire to run away from someone or something.
Run run run from from from you
Repetition of the determination to run away.
Got me running running running from from from you you you you you you you you you
Emphasizing the intensity of running away from a person.
Usain Bolt I'm a track star, whenever I see that tax collector
Comparing oneself to Usain Bolt, linking speed to avoiding taxes.
Hiding hiding hiding from the DMV, please don't take my car I'll pay the next receipt
Avoiding responsibilities like dealing with the DMV and car payments.
Been done this shit back since high school, procrastination my main tool
Long-standing habit of procrastination since high school.
Dodging feelings like Mohammed Ali, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Avoiding emotions with a comparison to Mohammed Ali's boxing style.
And you know I gotta have it, all the satisfaction of these bodies in the attic
Desiring and pursuing physical satisfaction without commitment.
Might as well just call it semi-automatic
Comparing a situation to a semi-automatic, indicating unpredictability.
Cause these problems got me feeling randomly erratic
Feeling erratic due to unresolved problems.
Might just run away and lose it like I'm democratic
Considering running away in a manner associated with democracy.
Feelin melancholy, packin up body to body all this emotional mileage
Feeling emotionally drained and packing up past experiences.
Knock, knock, knocking on my coffin aye
Symbolizing approaching death with a knock on the coffin.
Micheal Phelps, Micheal Phelps, Micheal Phelps
Referencing the swimmer Michael Phelps to depict navigating through worries.
Swimming through my worries like a damn dolphin
Using Phelps's swimming ability as a metaphor for dealing with problems.
Devil May Cry guarding these demons
Mentioning the video game "Devil May Cry" to emphasize the struggle with personal demons.
Every night I pray to make it go away
Expressing nightly prayers to overcome challenges.
I felt alive, felt alive at the first time I lied to myself when I saw you
Recalling a moment of feeling alive by deceiving oneself about a relationship.
Should've known, should've known would've flown at the first chance to go with the flow til it fell thru
Regretting not recognizing an opportunity and going with the flow.
Feel the light, feel the light, feel the light of the sun I'm the one who's ignoring these tattoo's
Ignoring the consequences represented by tattoos and basking in sunlight.
I'm so alone, so alone hold the phone no voicemail because I just run run run from from you you
Feeling lonely and avoiding communication by running away.
That's what I'm gonna do
Reiterating the determination to run away from someone or something.
This world got me so done done done, I just run run run
Expressing frustration with the world and the need to escape, feeling emotionally numb.
This world got me so numb, I just run run run
Continuing the theme of feeling emotionally numb and the desire to run away.
Got me running running running running running running running running running
Emphasizing the continuous act of running away from problems.
Got me running running running running running running running running running
Repetition of the theme of continuously running away from challenges.
