Runnin' Blind
Navigating Love's Turbulence: The Guess Who's 'Runnin' Blind' Meaning
Lyrics
Lately it's all been surreal
Lately, the experiences have felt unreal or dreamlike.
cos everyday is always some new ordeal
Every day brings new challenges or difficulties.
We're too afraid to be alone
There is a fear of being alone.
but what can you do when it's just goin wrong
In difficult times, it's challenging to fix things.
I know the things that we said
Acknowledging the things that have been said or done.
We can't keep pretending it don't happen
Acknowledging the reality instead of pretending it didn't happen.
I'm wish that I could find a way
Wishing for a way to go back in time.
to turn back the time before those long days
Desire to undo the effects of long and difficult days.
This is all so very out of the ordinary
The situation is unusual or not typical.
Maybe all we need is some time away
Suggesting that taking some time apart might help.
You know I really love you but I can't keep this up
Expressing love but struggling to continue the current situation.
I'm just so tired it's been a long day
Fatigue and weariness after a prolonged and challenging day.
A veil of disguise that's sheltering all the pain
A metaphorical covering hiding emotional pain.
Swallowing lies and throw out all reason
Accepting falsehoods and abandoning logic to reconnect with someone.
just so I can see you again
Compromising reason to see the person again.
You know it's crazy and it feels so wrong
Recognizing the craziness and acknowledging it feels wrong.
We come back again and it's the same old song
Returning to the same problematic pattern or situation.
This is all so very out of the ordinary
Reiteration that the circumstances are unusual.
Maybe all we need is some time away
Reiterating the idea that taking time away might be beneficial.
You know I really love you but I can't keep this up
Expressing love but admitting difficulty in sustaining the situation.
I just need some time it's been a long day
Expressing the need for personal time after a challenging day.
