Keep On Running
Chasing Shadows: Embracing Hope in the Face of Unraveling Fate
Lyrics
Time marches on slow and steady, to the beat of the drum
Time progresses consistently, following a steady rhythm.
Keep moving just to outrun my shadow, but it won't stop coming
The speaker is continuously moving to escape their inner struggles, but they persistently haunt them.
Smoke in the air, my breath feeling heavy, I'm coming undone
Feeling overwhelmed, the speaker is unraveling and experiencing a sense of loss of control.
Wildfire on the horizon, the sky glows, Got to keep on running
A metaphorical wildfire on the horizon symbolizes challenges; the speaker must keep moving forward despite difficulties.
It won't matter how far I go
Distance doesn't diminish the impact of the speaker's internal struggles.
My demons wait for me, oh this I know
The speaker acknowledges persistent personal challenges or vices waiting for them.
Lightning flashes and thunder rolls
Natural elements like lightning and thunder represent turmoil in the speaker's life.
I hope the rain washes off my soul
The speaker hopes for a cleansing or renewal through metaphorical rain to wash away their troubles.
I got to hope
An expression of determination or optimism in facing challenges.
But I already know
The speaker is aware of the challenges they face.
Oh, I know
Reiteration of the speaker's awareness of their situation.
Sleep in a bed of our own making, made a deal with the devil
A metaphorical reference to dealing with consequences, possibly negative, of past actions.
Tried changing but it's already too late, it was our own doing
Efforts to change have been futile, and consequences are now unavoidable.
Wake up and the earth is shaking, and it's too far unraveled
A chaotic scenario unfolds, representing the consequences of past actions.
Realize there is no changing our fate, but we keep on moving
Acceptance of an unchangeable destiny, but the speaker continues to move forward.
It won't matter how far we go
Reiteration that distance doesn't alleviate internal struggles.
Our demons wait for us, oh this we know
Collective acknowledgment of shared internal struggles.
Lightning flashes and thunder rolls
Natural elements symbolize shared turmoil; hope for collective renewal.
We hope the rain washes off our souls
Collective determination or optimism in facing shared challenges.
We got to hope
An expression of collective hope despite awareness of challenges.
But we already know
Reiteration of collective awareness of challenges.
Oh, we know
Collective acknowledgment of shared struggles and challenges.
It won't matter how far we go
Reiteration that distance doesn't alleviate shared internal struggles.
Our demons wait for us, oh this we know
Collective acknowledgment of shared internal struggles.
Lightning flashes and thunder rolls
Natural elements symbolize shared turmoil; hope for collective renewal.
We hope the rain washes off our souls
Collective hope for renewal through metaphorical rain.
We got to hope
Collective expression of determination or optimism in facing challenges.
But we already know
Collective awareness of the challenges faced.
Oh, we know
Reiteration of collective awareness of challenges.
Time marches on slow and steady, to the beat of the drum
Reiteration of the passage of time, maintaining a steady rhythm.
Keep moving just to outrun my shadow
Continuous movement to escape personal struggles, symbolized by the shadow.
