The Runaround
Chasing Shadows of Deceit: Seth Beamer's Runaround Tale
Lyrics
Well I'm sorry for the way that I've been speaking lately
Expressing apologies for recent communication style.
I know it's a little rough
Acknowledging that the communication has been a bit harsh.
Every time you find the bottle half empty
Noticing a pattern of seeing the negative side (bottle half empty).
Keep on drinking till your last buck
Suggesting a coping mechanism of continuous drinking despite financial concerns.
You can take it from me kid keep this up and
Warning about the consequences of persisting in negative behavior.
You'll find you're never enough
Emphasizing that continuing the current path won't lead to satisfaction.
Keep this up and you're never enough
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of inadequacy.
Keep this up and you're never enough
-You keep giving me the runaround
Expressing frustration with being misled or deceived repeatedly.
I hate wasting time
-You keep giving me the runaround
-And keep falling for it
-You keep giving me the runaround
-I hate wasting time
-You keep giving me the runaround
-And I keep falling behind
-One more night cool breeze top down weak knees
Describing a carefree night out with a sense of nostalgia.
Hit the town till we talk slow
-We can take that winding road back home
-Get real lost on the way back
-We always repeat that
-You keep giving me the runaround
Reiterating the frustration with being given false hopes or promises.
I hate wasting time
-You keep giving me the runaround
-And keep falling for it
-You keep giving me the runaround
-I hate wasting time
-You keep giving me the runaround
-And I keep falling behind
-I keep falling behind
Acknowledging a continuous struggle or failure to keep up.
Well your words are quiet
Describing a situation where verbal assurances conflict with tangible constraints.
But my hands are tied
-If it wasn't time then
-At least you wouldn't mind
-Well I guess it's honest
-We don't have to try
-Running round inside my mind
Reflecting on repetitive thoughts and situations.
For the millionth time
-The millionth time
-You keep giving me the runaround
Repeating the frustration with being deceived and falling behind.
I hate wasting time
-You keep giving me the runaround
-And keep falling for it
-You keep giving me the runaround
-I hate wasting time
-You keep giving me the runaround
-And I keep falling behind
-You keep giving me the runaround
Continuing the theme of frustration, deception, and falling behind.
I hate wasting time
-You keep giving me the runaround
-And keep falling for it
-You keep giving me the runaround
-I hate wasting time
-You keep giving me the runaround
-And I keep falling behind
-I keep falling behind
Stressing the ongoing struggle of falling behind in various aspects.
