Run Out The Distance
Renewal in Desperation: Run Out The Distance by Mark Duggan
Lyrics
I'm going out to buy myself a brand new face
I'm planning to undergo a significant change or transformation.
Get a different fit of skin and a change of clothes
I want a new appearance and wardrobe, symbolizing a fresh start.
To conceal what I've given to my old blonde nurse
I want to hide the secrets I've confided in my longtime caregiver, the old blonde nurse.
Cause really she's the only one, the only who knows
The nurse is the only person aware of my true self.
That I'm tired of myself and tryna burn out all of who I've been
I'm exhausted with my current identity and aim to erase past mistakes.
I'm a little worn out looking without much going but right now I swear my hands are clean
Despite my worn-out appearance, I feel internally cleansed or guilt-free.
The days just replace one another
Days pass monotonously, blending into one another.
They come down quick and hard
Time passes swiftly and challenges are intense.
I've run out the distance and pulled all the loose ends further apart
I've exhausted my resources and distanced myself from unresolved issues.
There's an empty horn blowing up on that hill
A symbolic reference to a distant, mournful sound for those stuck in a difficult situation.
For people who are stuck here still
Expressing empathy for those trapped in their current circumstances.
I'm still tryna find something good to start
Still searching for something positive to initiate or begin anew.
I've been working a little but not enough to call it anything
I've been working, but it's not significant enough to define my purpose.
It's just a few hours a day I don't have to spend on my own
A few hours of work each day provide a temporary escape from loneliness.
Well I'm tired of coming out between a dream and where I started
I'm tired of oscillating between dreams and the harsh reality of my starting point.
I need someone to look my way and not leave me crawling home alone
I crave companionship, hoping not to return home alone.
Someone to cut through all the fronts that leave you lost and unsure
Seeking someone to see through facades and offer clarity in confusing situations.
A little off balance till you can't tell if you're even moving or just where you were before
Feeling unsteady until it's unclear whether I'm progressing or stuck in the past.
The days just replace one another
Days continue to pass indistinguishably.
They come down quick and hard
The relentless passage of time and challenges.
I've run out the distance and pulled all the loose ends further apart
I've distanced myself further from unresolved issues.
There's an empty horn blowing up on that hill
The distant, mournful sound symbolizes the struggles of those still stuck.
For people who are stuck here still
Empathy for those who haven't found a way out of their predicaments.
I'm still tryna find something good to start
Continuing the quest for something positive to initiate or begin anew.
I've wasted a lot of time on promises that just don't come around
I've spent time on unfulfilled promises, a realization of wasted time.
You gotta keep making a case for the things you want and pay the price of what you can't live down
Advocating the need to persistently pursue one's desires and face consequences.
The days just replace one another
Days pass monotonously, blending into one another (repeated theme).
They come down quick and hard
Time passes swiftly and challenges are intense (repeated theme).
I've run out the distance and pulled all the loose ends further apart
I've distanced myself further from unresolved issues (repeated theme).
There's an empty horn blowing up on that hill
The distant, mournful sound symbolizes the struggles of those still stuck (repeated theme).
For people who are stuck here still
Empathy for those who haven't found a way out of their predicaments (repeated theme).
I'm still tryna find something good to start
Continuing the quest for something positive to initiate or begin anew (repeated theme).
