Runners in the Night
Chasing Shadows: A Journey through Desire and Growth
Lyrics
I saw you rushing to the fire
The speaker observes someone rushing toward a risky or intense situation.
Balanced on the bones with a darkness in your eyes
The person is precariously positioned or engaged in something unsettling, evident from the darkness in their eyes.
Our thoughts were crippled by desire
Desire overwhelms rational thought, causing distress.
Suddenly gestalt just colliding in the light
A sudden realization or complete picture forms amidst the chaos.
I know, concentric rings in the bones aside
There's an understanding that inner patterns or experiences reveal truths.
We've surely grown enough
There's a sense of personal growth or development.
I know, they lead to hands that wring and dry your eyes
Recognizing signs of distress that lead to emotional breakdowns.
Before it's too much
Seeking resolution before it becomes overwhelming.
Our thoughts were wicked by design
Realizing that thoughts were intentionally harmful or destructive.
If we could get home then we could get us right
Belief that returning home could restore a sense of balance or correctness.
I'll watch you wither up in time
Prefer to witness someone deteriorate over time than abandon them.
Than let you grow alone just colliding in the light
Choosing to avoid a collision or conflict in the face of illumination.
Though in time we were hanging on the subtlest sign
Enduring while hoping for subtle indications or cues.
Waiting on the final cry
Awaiting a significant signal or message.
Just ringing outta sign
Signals seem to fade or become less significant.
But tonight we're surprised if we're runners in the night
Feeling surprised at potentially being secretive or elusive figures in the night.
I know, concentric rings in the bones don't lie
Confirming the validity of inner experiences or feelings.
We've surely grown up
Acknowledging personal maturity or development.
I know, these hands that wring they're gonna dry your eyes
Assuring that efforts to comfort or support will dry tears before it's too late.
Before we give enough
Acting before emotions become overwhelming.
Though in time we were hanging on the subtle sign
Remaining hopeful despite subtle cues indicating a conclusion or end.
Waiting on the final cry
Anticipating a decisive moment or ending.
But when you gonna dry your eyes
Questioning when emotional distress will be alleviated.
We were holding up the keep and more
Supporting and enduring despite challenges.
After hanging on the final chord
Holding on through the final or concluding moments.
"It'll be alright" his voice informed
Receiving assurance that things will improve.
Just ringing outta sign
Signals or indications losing their importance.
But tonight, well, you're mine and we're runners in the night
Embracing the idea of being together despite uncertainties as secretive figures in the night.
After that night and more
Continuing after a significant event or moment.
After hanging on the final chord
Persisting through the conclusion or final part of an event.
"It'll be alright," he screamed and more
Receiving repeated assurance that everything will be fine.
Just ringing outta sign
Signals or indications becoming insignificant.
But tonight, well, you're mine and we're runners in the night
Acknowledging a connection while operating in a secretive or mysterious manner during the night.
