Runnin
Chasing Dreams: The Ricters' Runnin' Reveals a Journey of Freedom
Lyrics
Cooped up in my house, staring at my phone
Feeling confined at home, engrossed in phone activities.
Scrolling down the feed feeling like a drone
Scrolling through social media, feeling robotic and detached.
Last night in my dream you and me were old
Dreaming of a future where both the narrator and a significant other have aged.
And wasting away
Expressing a sense of aimlessness and decay in the dream.
Woke up to a face that I've seen before
Awakening to a familiar face, possibly self-reflection.
Staring back at me was a metaphor
Seeing a metaphorical image in the reflection.
I could see myself standing in the door
Visualizing oneself in a doorway, symbolizing a choice or transition.
Telling me I should keep
Receiving advice from the reflection to persevere.
Runnin'
Emphasizing the importance of continuing forward.
Can't shake the feeling that's telling me I should keep
Feeling an inner urging to persist despite challenges.
Runnin'
Reiterating the need to keep moving forward.
Right out the door runnin' straight for the shore
Describing the act of running towards an unknown destination.
All that's in my head is the open road
Having thoughts consumed by the idea of travel and exploration.
Cramming in a van to another show
Being on the road, possibly in pursuit of a musical career.
We can smell the roses when we get old
Anticipating enjoying life's pleasures when older.
So don't tell me why
Rejecting explanations for the desire to keep moving.
I need to take a breath, need to get some rest
Feeling the need for a break and some relaxation.
If I don't leave now I'll be so depressed
Expressing the fear of becoming depressed if not leaving the current situation.
Future's in my head, it's so picturesque
Imagining a future that seems ideal but is only real when in motion.
But it's only real when I'm
Highlighting the significance of action in making dreams real.
Runnin'
Repeating the importance of continuous movement.
Can't shake the feeling that's telling me I should keep
Acknowledging an inner feeling urging the narrator to persist.
Runnin'
Reiterating the need to keep moving forward.
Right out the door running straight for the shore
Describing the act of running towards an unknown destination.
Runnin'
Emphasizing the importance of continuous forward movement.
Can't shake the feeling that's telling me I should keep
Feeling an inner urging to persist despite challenges.
Runnin'
Reiterating the need to keep moving forward.
Right out the door running straight for the shore
Describing the act of running towards an unknown destination.
Oh yea
An expression of affirmation or enthusiasm.
Oh yea
Repeating the expression of enthusiasm.
OH YEA
Intensifying the expression of enthusiasm.
OH YEA
Emphasizing excitement or determination, potentially for the journey ahead.
