The song is a reference to Jason Voorhees, the main antagonist in the Friday the 13th series. After The Midnight Podcast has stated that the song is about the generic 80s/90s slasher villains.
[Intro: Tyler Lyle, Nikki Flores]
Keep on runnin'
(Keep on runnin')
Keep on runnin'
[Verse 1: Nikki Flores]
He comes alive in metropolis lights
When the music's way too loud
Deep in the night, it's easy to hide
And he's got it all figured out
White satellites getting lost in his eyes
But to him, she's just another girl
Roll with the tide like the wind and the sky
And he'll only let you down
[Chorus: Nikki Flores]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, Jason, tell me what you're chasin'
Because the night will never give you what you want
Ooh, Jason, and if you can't escape it
I hope you find whatever you've been looking for
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2: Tyler Lyle]
Where do you go in a town full of ghosts
And everybody knows your name
And all the homecoming queens in the small town scenes
They'll offer you a place to stay?
Some want forever instead of whenever
When they're naked in the light
It's a strange little potion
But sometimes the motion almost makes you feel alive
[Chorus: Nikki Flores]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, Jason, tell me what you're chasin'
Because the night will never give you what you want
Ooh, Jason, and if you can't escape it
I hope you find whatever you've been looking for
[Bridge: Tyler Lyle, Nikki Flores]
And I'm gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
(Keep on runnin')
(Keep on runnin')
And I'm gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
(Keep on runnin')
(Keep on runnin')
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Nikki Flores]
Ooh, Jason, tell me what you're chasin'
Because the night will never give you what you want
Ooh, Jason, and if you can't escape it
I hope you find whatever you've been looking for
Ooh, ooh
[Outro: Tyler Lyle, Nikki Flores]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Keep on running)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Keep on running)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Keep on running)
(Keep on running)
(Keep on running)
(Keep on running)
(Keep on running)
(Keep on running)
(Keep on running)
(Keep on running)
