RUNNER
Ephemeral Echoes: Outer Shapes' Striking Musical Reflections
Lyrics
I remember you like you were yesterday
I have vivid memories of you, as if it were just yesterday
See the mirrors all reflecting in the haze
Observing reflections in mirrors surrounded by a haze
I don't mind the minding, but I'd like some air
Accepting the attention but desiring some space
To feel the tessellations trickle through my hair
Wanting to experience intricate patterns flowing through my hair
yeah
Expression of agreement or affirmation
Sometimes it hurts to hear the way you think I am
It's painful to hear how you perceive me
I guess I'm sad for all the voices in your head
Sympathy for the inner voices causing your sadness
'Cause I don't mind the minding, but I'd like some air
Seeking space while being mindful of others
To feel the tessellations trickle through my hair
Desiring the sensation of patterns in the hair once more
And I'm yours again
Reclaiming a sense of belonging
I'm in your head
Existing in your thoughts
I'm underneath your bed
Metaphorical presence beneath the surface of your consciousness
I'll be long gone when you let me
Anticipating departure when allowed
I won't ponder what you left me
Not dwelling on what has been left behind
I'm runnin'
Repetition of the theme of running, expressing a desire for freedom
I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'll transform to statue, wrangled into stone
Mention of transformation into a statue, with a request to retain personal history
Take my teeth, but leave the notches in my bones
Symbolic request to keep the experiences etched in bones
'Cause I don't mind the minding, but I'd like some air
Desire for space, emphasizing the need for personal experiences
To feel the tessellations trickle through my hair
Longing for the tactile sensation of patterns in the hair
I'm runnin'
Repetition of the theme of running, underscoring the urgency
I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-And I'm yours again
Reiteration of reclaiming a sense of belonging and anticipation of departure
I'm in your head
-I'm underneath your bed
-I'll be long gone when you let me
-I won't ponder what you left me
-And I'm yours again
-I'm in your head
-I'm underneath your bed
-I'll be long gone when you let me
-I won't ponder what you left me
-I'm runnin'
Continued expression of the act of running, emphasizing persistence
I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin'
-I'm runnin' again
-So wake up, soak in
Encouragement to wake up, appreciate sunlight, and gain a new perspective
All the sunlight on your skin
-Find a different point of view
-Let it all shine through
Emphasizing the importance of letting one's true self shine through
