Run My Mouth
Whispers of Solitude: Ra Ra Riot's Reflection on Isolation
Lyrics
All my days, they end too slow.
Expresses a feeling of time passing slowly and monotonously.
And I wonder where I've left to go.
Reflects on a sense of uncertainty and lack of direction.
Anyway, there's no such thing as company.
Suggests a feeling of isolation or a lack of meaningful companionship.
I've discovered all I've got to do.
Realization of having figured out what needs to be done.
What is it that gets you through
Questions what keeps one going despite absence or distance.
Another day when I'm not there?
Describes a feeling of being physically absent while someone else faces their day.
Wish we could be more open.
Desire for more openness or honesty in a relationship.
I don't have time to think of how you are.
Expresses a lack of time or attention to think about another's well-being.
All my days, they end too slow.
Reiterates a sense of time dragging and uncertainty about the future.
And I wonder where I've left to go.
Similar to line 2, contemplating one's path and destination.
And besides, I've got no one but myself to blame.
Taking responsibility for one's circumstances without blaming others.
I've discovered all I've got to do
Recognition of having learned what is necessary to do.
Is run my mouth off.
Repeated emphasis on the action of speaking one's mind or expressing oneself openly.
Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-When I dream, it's not of you.
Dreams don't involve the person being addressed in the song.
Something in your voice that I can't hear.
Struggle to hear something important in the other person's communication.
But some company it is.
Recognition of some form of companionship despite distance or absence.
Because it feels so close when I wake.
The feeling of closeness upon waking despite physical separation.
And in fifty years no one will care
Reflection on the insignificance of one's current presence in the grand scheme of things.
That I was once there.
A realization that one's existence may not have a lasting impact.
All my days, they end too slow.
Repeated emphasis on the action of speaking one's mind or expressing oneself openly.
And I wonder where I've left to go.
-Anyway, there's no such thing as company.
-I've discovered all I've got to do
-Is run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Never wanted time for looking back.
Desire to focus on the present and future rather than dwelling on the past.
For a moment I looked down and wondered.
Momentary reflection on past events or decisions.
And of what's to come today.
Contemplation of what the current day holds.
Girl, I wonder where you are.
Wondering about the whereabouts of a specific person (potentially romantic).
All my days, they end too slow.
Repeated emphasis on the action of speaking one's mind or expressing oneself openly.
And I wonder where I've left to go.
-And besides I've got no one but myself to blame.
Similar to line 13, taking responsibility for personal circumstances.
I've discovered all I've got to do
Realization of having learned what is necessary to do (similar to line 14).
Is run my mouth off.
Repeated emphasis on the action of speaking one's mind or expressing oneself openly.
Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
-Run my mouth off.
