Running
Eternal Escape: Unraveling Life's Shadows in Mike Nisbet's 'Running'
Lyrics
Who you trying to kid
Questioning someone's attempt to deceive.
Only got one shot
Emphasizing the limited opportunity or chance.
Never sleep at night
Expressing insomnia, possibly due to inner turmoil.
It's to damn hot
Describing an uncomfortably high temperature.
Skipped out on the fight
Choosing to avoid a confrontation or conflict.
Never knew that I'd get caught
Reflecting on unexpected consequences and getting caught.
Still I tossed and turned all night
Struggling with inner conflict, evident in restless sleep.
I'm beginning to rot
Metaphorically describing a deteriorating state.
I've been running a long long time
Indicating a prolonged period of evading something.
Don't try to forget me
Asking not to be forgotten during the escape.
I've been running a long long time
Reiterating the theme of running for an extended duration.
Forget yourself so easily
Suggesting the ease with which one forgets oneself during escapism.
How you trying to win? Clandestine and thin?
Questioning the strategy employed in a pursuit, using covert and fragile means.
Friendless handsome cherry chewing grin
Describing someone with a charming but friendless demeanor.
cll or nothing kid, knocked out in the first
Highlighting the risk of going all-in and facing defeat early.
c beautiful baby boy pretending to be cursed
Depicting a beautiful child acting as if under a curse.
Take a sharp knee, take a sharp knife
Suggesting self-harm or vulnerability with a sharp knee and knife.
Think of all the hours lost and all of those lies
Reflecting on the time wasted and lies told.
Blame it on the moon, blame it too the bone
Attributing blame to external factors like the moon and bone.
cvoid all mirrors and never answer the phones
Advising to avoid self-reflection and isolation.
I've been running a long long time
Reiteration of the prolonged duration of running.
Don't try to forget me
Requesting not to be forgotten during the extended escape.
Cause I've been running a long long time
Reemphasizing the persistence of the running theme.
Forget yourself so easily
Stressing the ease with which one can forget oneself during escape.
I felt the fear
Describing the experience of fear as a sweet sensation.
Oh what a sweet sensation
Expressing a desire for change and personal growth.
I can change I can change I can change
Repetition of the possibility and necessity of change.
I have to change
Acknowledging the imperative need for change.
I've been running a long long time
Reiteration of the extended period of running.
Don't try to forget me
Requesting not to be forgotten during the ongoing escape.
Cause I've been running a long long time
Restating the persistence of the running theme.
Forget yourself so easily
Emphasizing the ease with which one forgets oneself during escape.
