The Running Man
Chasing Time's Echo: A Journey of Love and Sacrifice
Lyrics
Time runs fast
Time is passing quickly.
Ahead of me
Time is progressing in front of the singer.
Try to keep up the pace
The singer is attempting to maintain a fast pace.
Unashamedly
Without hesitation or embarrassment.
Got somewhere to go
The singer has a destination or goal.
I guess that's true
Acknowledging the truth of having a purpose.
Still I would turn around
Despite the fast pace, the singer is willing to turn back for someone.
And give it up for you
Expressing a readiness to sacrifice for the other person.
Still I would turn around
Reiterating the willingness to turn around for the person.
Give it up for you
Reaffirming the commitment to sacrifice for the other person.
Rivers flow
Reference to natural elements indicating the passage of time.
The mountains freeze
Nature's stillness in contrast to the singer's movement.
A whole world of things
A multitude of experiences present themselves to the singer.
Right in front of me
Awareness of the abundant opportunities in front of the singer.
Still I'm frozen here
The singer feels stuck or unable to move despite the possibilities.
Like I always knew
A recognition of being frozen in a familiar way.
I would go all around
Expressing a willingness to travel extensively for someone.
And back again for you
Commitment to go to great lengths and return for the other person.
Time runs fast
Repetition of the idea that time is passing swiftly.
Still ahead of me
Time is still moving ahead of the singer.
Gotta get on the road
Feeling the need to continue the journey with wandering feet.
With these wanderin' feet
A recognition of the desire to keep moving forward.
But if I had the choice
Expressing a hypothetical choice to turn back for someone.
Just one to use
If given the option, the singer would choose to sacrifice for the other person.
You know I would turn around
Reaffirming the readiness to turn around for the person.
And give it up for you
Commitment to giving up for the sake of the other person.
Still I would turn around
Reiterating the singer's willingness to turn around for the person.
Give it up for you
Reaffirming the commitment to give up for the other person.
