Lyrics
Running through the night
Expressing continuous motion or action during the night
Running through the day
Continuing the theme of constant movement, this time during the day
I am stuck inside these walls
Feeling trapped within physical or metaphorical walls
Where no one makes me stay
Emphasizing the absence of external constraints
And I need you to set me free
Desiring liberation or freedom from constraints
But I want you to let me be
Simultaneously expressing a desire for independence
Tired of running in place
Expressing weariness from making no progress
Tired with nothing to gain
Feeling exhausted with no tangible achievements
You seek to design
Highlighting contrasting objectives, one to create and the other to destroy
I seek to destroy
Expressing a destructive inclination
You start a fire to unite
Describing a contrasting approach to initiating change
While I'm crashing on the floor
Portraying personal struggle and collapse
And I have scales so I can't see
Metaphorically referencing impaired vision or understanding
That I'm so blind with apathy
Acknowledging a lack of emotional involvement or concern
Tired of running in place
Reiterating frustration with stagnation
I'm tired with nothing to gain
Reinforcing the feeling of exhaustion with no progress
Tired of running in place
Repeated expression of weariness and lack of advancement
Tired with nothing to gain
Reiterating exhaustion and absence of gains
I know you'll start a fire
Anticipating someone else's proactive actions
I'm thinking that I believe
Expressing a belief or expectation in someone's actions
But let me strike a match
Metaphorically suggesting a willingness to ignite change
Just to see
Expressing a curiosity or uncertainty about the potential outcome
Just to see
Repeating the idea of curiosity or uncertainty
Tired of running in place
Reiterating frustration with lack of progress
I'm tired with nothing to gain
Emphasizing exhaustion with no tangible results
Tired of running in place
Expressing continued weariness and lack of advancement
I'm tired
Concluding the expression of fatigue and frustration
