Running on Sweet Smile
Chasing Joy: Unveiling the Poetic Pursuit in 'Running on Sweet Smile'
Lyrics
I am under attack
I feel under attack, facing challenges or difficulties
And I can't fight back
Unable to resist or fight back against the challenges
I can't even see what's hanging on my back
Uncertainty about the nature of the burden or challenge
Is it a targeting
Questioning if it's a deliberate attack or an uncontrollable force
Is it a beast of rage
Speculating whether it's an intense and uncontrollable emotion
Either way I'll never act my age
Expressing a refusal to conform to societal expectations
I'm running free
Feeling liberated and unrestrained
I'm running wild
Experiencing a sense of untamed freedom
I'm running still
Continuing to run, symbolizing the journey through life
Running child
Metaphorically depicting the speaker as a free-spirited child
Running down my burden
Trying to escape or overcome personal burdens
Running on sweet smile
Finding solace and strength in a positive demeanor
I mostly feel like hell
Expressing a prevailing sense of misery or discomfort
You say I'm doing well
Receiving external validation despite inner struggles
Here on earth where can we go so we can tell
Questioning where genuine communication can take place
The paint will slowly fade
Symbolizing the inevitable fading of positive aspects
Never to wash away
Indicating that some things cannot be easily erased or forgotten
I can't carry you I don't know what to say
Feeling unable to provide comfort or support to others
I'm running free
Reiterating a sense of unrestrained freedom
I'm running wild
Emphasizing a wild and uncontrolled nature
I'm running still
Continuing the metaphorical journey with a sense of motion
Running child
Referring to oneself as a carefree and playful child
Running down my burden
Facing personal challenges or responsibilities
Running on sweet smile
Finding strength and resilience in maintaining a positive attitude
Running down my burden
Repeating the idea of carrying personal burdens
Running on sweet smile
Reaffirming the reliance on a positive outlook
Close your eyes
Suggesting a moment of reflection or escape
Tell me lies
Encouraging deception or denial to avoid harsh realities
I see your sacrifice
Acknowledging sacrifices made by others
Cast no blame
Rejecting the idea of assigning blame
Only shame
Expressing a sense of embarrassment or remorse
Be my everything
Pleading for a deep and meaningful connection
I'm running free
Reiterating a theme of unrestricted freedom
I'm running wild
Emphasizing a wild and unrestrained journey
I'm running still
Continuing the metaphorical journey with a sense of persistence
Running child
Depicting oneself as an adventurous and free-spirited child
Running down my burden
Carrying personal burdens while maintaining resilience
Running on sweet smile
Finding strength and solace in a positive disposition
Running down my burden
Repeating the idea of facing personal challenges
Running on sweet smile
Reaffirming the reliance on a positive outlook
Running down my burden
Continuing to bear personal burdens with a positive attitude
Running on sweet smile
Finding strength and comfort in maintaining a positive demeanor
