Keep Running
Chasing Dreams: Battling Insecurities and Embracing Freedom in Sam Franklin's 'Keep Running'
Lyrics
There's not enough time in the day
Expressing the constraint of time, feeling overwhelmed.
I think my sanity is slipping away
Sense of losing mental stability or composure.
Nothing goes just how I plan it
Frustration as plans don't unfold as expected.
I always end up empty handed
Consistent disappointment, not achieving desired outcomes.
I want it all but I can't get out of bed
Desire for success but struggling to get out of bed, possibly indicating depression or fatigue.
Can't get rid of all these self-destructive thoughts in my head
Battling negative thoughts that lead to self-destructive tendencies.
I wanna be great but I'm so insecure
Aspiring for greatness but hindered by feelings of insecurity.
I've got the sickness there must be a cure
Acknowledging personal challenges or issues ('sickness') needing resolution.
I've got everything that I could need
Despite having material possessions, there's an internal emptiness.
But sometimes I still feel so empty
Reflecting on persistent emotional emptiness.
I'll keep running when it feels like I can't breathe
Determination to persevere even when it's challenging.
This marathon won't get the best of me
Metaphorically comparing life to a marathon, expressing resilience.
I love my city but I want to break free
Love for one's city but a desire for freedom or change.
If I moved to California would I be happy
Contemplating relocation for potential happiness.
Wake up everyday and go to the beach
Imagining a carefree life, possibly in California.
Put my feet in the sand feel the ocean breeze
Visualizing a relaxing scenario by the beach.
I'll quit my job never work again
Expressing a desire to escape the routine of work.
I just want to make beats until the world ends
Passion for music creation and a wish for a limitless artistic pursuit.
Play music all day hang out with my friends
Envisioning a carefree lifestyle with friends and music.
Go outside feel the sun on my skin
Craving a connection with nature, specifically the sun on the skin.
I've got everything that I could need
Similar to line 10, a repetition of material possession not curing internal emptiness.
But sometimes I still feel so empty
A recurrence of emotional emptiness despite external success.
I'll keep running when it feels like I can't breathe
Reiteration of determination to persevere in challenging times.
This marathon won't get the best of me
Reaffirming resilience in the metaphorical marathon of life.
