Lyrics
Head down running from the beast
Running with head down, escaping from a threatening force or danger.
Break neck speed, taking all my breath
Moving at an extremely fast pace, causing difficulty in breathing.
Black feet scraped and scarred and dripping blood
Feet are injured and bleeding, possibly from a challenging journey.
Rain come down, take me with your flood
Desiring a cleansing or transformative experience, using rain metaphorically.
I came to and I was running from you
Regaining consciousness and continuing to flee from an unspecified threat.
Feel your breath on the back of my neck
Sensing imminent danger, feeling the pursuer's breath on the neck.
Where have I come to be?
Questioning the current situation and surroundings.
Is this all that's left for me?
Reflecting on the limited or undesirable options in the present circumstances.
I wish that I was still there
Expressing a desire to return to a previous state or location.
I want to keep on breathing
Expressing a desire for survival or continuation of life.
Bulls roar loud, snakes move past my feet
Encountering powerful and dangerous entities or situations.
No teeth, no hands, set me free
Yearning for freedom from a situation depicted by dangerous creatures.
Bones start rattling 'round inside my head
Feeling internal turmoil or chaos, possibly related to fear or uncertainty.
I don't know if I'm alive or dead
Expressing confusion about one's state of being, whether alive or dead.
I came to and I was running from you
Continuing to escape or run away, still feeling pursued.
Feel your breath on the back of my neck
Sensing the threat persisting with the pursuer close behind.
Where have I come to be?
Questioning the current location or circumstances.
Is this all that's left for me?
Contemplating if the present situation is the only outcome or destiny.
I wish that I was still there
Expressing a desire to return to a previous state or location (repeated).
I want to keep on breathing
Reiterating the wish to continue living and breathing.
Dig deep, kicking up rock and dirt and sand
Engaging in strenuous effort, trying to overcome obstacles in a barren environment.
Out of this lifeless valley, bones in hand
Escaping from a lifeless and desolate area, carrying the remains or consequences.
Over these mountains to the seas of life
Seeking a transition from hardship to a more vibrant and lively existence.
Leave me this desert for the sick and damned
Leaving behind a desolate place for those suffering and condemned.
