On the Run
Embrace the Journey: Unveiling the Essence of Tina Dickow's 'On the Run'
Lyrics
I wake in the morning with
I start my day with
One thing on my mind
A singular focus
To get up on my feet and be on my way
To rise, be active, and move forward
The wide roads are calling and
The expansive roads beckon, and
I’m running out of time
Time is slipping away
To make the most of this exciting day
To seize the opportunities of the day
Hey!
Expressing enthusiasm or greeting
Everybody’s gotta end up somewhere
Everyone has a destination
I’m just taking my time to get there
I'm taking my own pace to reach there
And it looks like freedom and
Describing the destination as freedom
It smells like fun
Associated with enjoyable experiences
But it feels like being on the run
Despite appearances, it feels like being on the run
I wake in the morning with
Reiteration of starting the day with
One thing in my head
A specific thought or idea
The haunting sound of chords I’ve yet to play
The persistent sound of unplayed music
It sounds like a warning that maybe
It may serve as a caution that
I should stay in bed
Staying in bed could be a safer choice
Before these winding roads lead my astray
Before uncertain paths lead me astray
Hey!
Everybody’s gotta end up somewhere
Reiteration of the idea that
I’m just taking my time to get there
Everyone has a destined endpoint
And it looks like freedom and
I'm taking my own time to reach there
It smells like fun
Describing the destination as freedom
But it feels like being on the run
Despite appearances, it feels like being on the run
Somewhere there’s a place for us
Belief in the existence of a suitable place
A place for us where?
Rhetorical question about the location
There’s a place for us
Confidence in the existence of
Everybody’s gotta end up somewhere
Reiteration of the idea that
I’m just taking my time to get there
I'm progressing at my own pace towards
And it looks like freedom and
Describing the destination as freedom
It smells like fun
Associated with enjoyable experiences
But it feels like being on the run
Despite appearances, it feels like being on the run
