On “run,” tuv tells a haunting story of inner-struggle. The themes of the track might be connected to the cover it was originally released with – an edited version of The Crying Boy by Giovanni Bragolin.
The track was surprise released on SoundCloud and YouTube on January 31, 2023, but was later re...
[Chorus]
Monsters in the dark, and they chase me through the hallway
I can't see a thing, what if this is the wrong way?
I light up a spark and I see them in the crossway
Of my anxiety, staring like it's broad day
Monsters in the dark, and they chase me through the hallway
I can't see a thing, what if this is the wrong way?
I light up a spark and I see them in the crossway
Of my anxiety, staring like it's broad day
[Verse]
I had never seen a boy so pure, it hurt
Carried a smile, but yet so insecure
Looked in his eyes, they were full of manic thirst
He told me, "Let me just say some words"
"You've been running fast from your problems" (Problems)
"Work with me, and we'll solve them" (Solve them)
"I know other people might've caused them" (Caused them)
"But stop leaving us at the bottom" (At the bottom)
"You really think you can run away from us?" (From us)
"We're the only reason that you could get it up" (Get it up)
"Never scared of failure, but always scared to trust" (Scared to trust)
"You should be afraid that your first thought is 'run'"
[Chorus]
We've been chasing him for hours through the hallway
He doesn't know, but everything's the wrong way
"You'll get over it someday", what they all say
"But you're stuck with us"
"After all, we're in your brain"
We've been chasing him for hours through the hallway
He doesn't know, but everything's the wrong way
"You'll get over it someday", what they all say
"But you're stuck with us"
"After all, we're in your brain"
