Four
Running Towards Tomorrow: Unveiling Life's Purpose in 'Four' by Silver Storm
Lyrics
You run without a destination
You're moving forward aimlessly.
Still holding on to admiration
You still hold respect or regard for something.
Feel like you gotta give up all you have
Feeling pressured to give up everything you possess.
Out of obligation
Due to a sense of duty or requirement.
Say you'll be needed when you're older
Assuming you'll be important or valuable in the future.
Like picking up a four leaf clover
Like finding something extremely lucky but rare.
If only you were different from the rest
Wishing to be different to end a situation.
It could all be over
Ending it could be possible if you were different.
Bright and cheerful's your disguise
You present a happy exterior that hides your true feelings.
Just say you're okay
Say you're fine when you might not be.
You should've gone where I couldn't see you
Regret for not going where someone couldn’t see you.
Go the extra mile when somebody needs you
Going the extra distance to assist someone.
All that you can do is keep running with no brakes
Continuing forward relentlessly without stopping.
Out of control
Feeling overwhelmed and without control.
Prove to yourself that you've got a purpose
Wanting to prove your worth or reason for existence.
Living through the lies, as if they were worthless
Enduring falsehoods as if they hold no value.
All so you can see through the promise that we made
To see beyond a commitment made previously.
We could never be the same
Acknowledgment that things can't return to how they were.
So go ahead and keep on trying
Encouragement to persist despite difficulties.
But I can see it when you're lying
Perceiving deception despite words.
Your heart was never in it from the start
Realizing lack of genuine commitment from the start.
'Cause your eyes aren't shining
Evidence of a lack of passion or enthusiasm.
You're running out of motivation
Feeling less driven or enthusiastic.
Still seeking out the validation
Still seeking approval or confirmation from others.
I know that you can run, but you can't hide
Awareness that you can't escape certain expectations.
From those expectations
Bound by societal or personal expectations.
Just slow down and smell the roses
Suggestion to take a moment to appreciate life's beauty.
I'll be right there
A promise of support.
Just keep on running
Encouragement to continue moving forward.
Nothing else that we can do
Acceptance that there might be no other choice but to keep moving.
Just keep on running
Reiteration of the need to persist despite uncertainties.
'Cause the future waits for you
Implying the future is waiting for your actions.
You should've gone where I couldn't see you
Regret for being seen or known in a certain situation.
Go the extra mile when somebody needs you
Continuing to go above and beyond to assist others.
All that you can do is keep running with no brakes
Reiterating the need to persist without pausing.
Out of control
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to control the situation.
Prove to yourself that you've got a purpose
Seeking validation of your purpose within yourself.
Living through the lies, as if they were worthless
Enduring falsehoods despite their lack of worth.
All so you can see through the promise that we made
Continuing to strive despite a broken promise.
So if you ever feel like you're standing on your own
If feeling isolated or unsupported...
I hope you know that you'll never be alone
Assurance that you'll always have someone by your side.
I will always be with you
A promise of perpetual support and companionship.
