Run on Me
Navigating Life's Crossroads: A Reflection on Choices in 'Run on Me'
Lyrics
I wasted the years that all of them had
I regretfully wasted the years that everyone else had
Thinking I had it all in my hands
I believed I possessed everything in my control
But one was in each, rather than both
There were two options, each with its merits, but I couldn't decide
Too petrified to choose one to throw
Fearful of making a choice, I was paralyzed
Without anybody, without any gold
Alone and without wealth
Burnt all the nights painting my nose
I spent nights recklessly indulging in excess, possibly drugs
This isn't a plan, it's more like a note
It's not a well-thought-out plan, but more like a message
Just in case it all unfolds
Prepared for the possibility that everything might unravel
Stay out late
Suggesting the idea of enjoying life and not adhering to conventional norms
Keep friends in sight
Keep your friends close
Last names are lifting left and right
Social dynamics are changing rapidly
Sooner ain't better
Implying that rushing through life doesn't guarantee success
Don't race this life
Advice against competing blindly in the race of life
Just to keep your queen tonight
Sacrificing for a significant other
Take care of my sister
An appeal to take care of the singer's sister
Take care of my folks
A request to care for the singer's family
And do what you want with all of my clothes
Surrendering possessions, letting go of material attachments
The old homestead
Reference to the singer's childhood home
A light warm glow
Desiring a warm and comforting atmosphere
I want it bright when I get to go
Expressing a wish for a positive afterlife
Rail on me
An invitation for criticism or judgment
Run on me
An invitation to face challenges or criticism head-on
Donate your soul to me
An abstract request for spiritual connection or commitment
Rail on me
A repetition of the invitation to face challenges or criticism
Run on me
-Donate your soul to me
A repetition of the abstract request for spiritual connection or commitment
