Run on Ahead
Chasing Dreams: Run on Ahead with The Steel Woods
Lyrics
Clear your head and lift your feet don't think about the times you fell
Encouragement to clear one's mind and move forward, disregarding past failures.
Watch for cars and just stay above the wheels
Caution to be aware of obstacles (symbolized by cars) and stay on a positive path.
Remember where it is you came from and don't lose sight of where you want to go
Advises to remember roots and goals, maintaining a clear vision of the future.
And pedal like the Devil is nipping at your heels
Emphasizes a sense of urgency, urging to work hard as if pursued by challenges.
Run on ahead, run on ahead
Repetition of encouraging someone to forge ahead, promising support and companionship.
Run on ahead I'll be right behind you
-I woke up loving you again, made coffee in your favorite cup
Expresses a deep affection, with domestic actions symbolizing love and support for a partner pursuing dreams.
And then I washed all your of snap-shirts and your jeans
-It's funny I can feel your love so strong from out there on the road
-And you can feel mine while you're running down your dreams
-Run on ahead, run on ahead
Reiterates the theme of running ahead with reassurance of being followed closely.
Run on ahead I'll be right behind you
-No matter where you go, no matter how long you stay
Assures unwavering support regardless of the distance or time spent away.
No matter how far ahead, I'll be behind you
-I wish we lived forever, oh how I wish it wasn't so
Expresses a desire for eternal life, lamenting the inevitable aging of the body.
That we wear out our bodies just like shoes
Metaphorically compares the wearing out of bodies to worn-out shoes, acknowledging the transient nature of physical existence.
I'll meet you in the morning time no matter if it's years for me
Conveys a commitment to reunite in the future, regardless of the time passed, with a play on the words "soles" and "souls."
And I'll see you where both of our soles are new
-Run on ahead, run on ahead
Repeats the encouragement to run forward, emphasizing the constant presence of support.
Run on ahead I'll be right behind you
