Menomena – Running Lyrics 17 years ago
I think some people mystify artists a bit much, to me, there is nothing to obscure about this song. "its safe to say that im walking a lot" is the poets way of saying he's trying, he's looking for his treasure, "its safe to say im thinner" is his way of saying look, ive made my sacrifices on this search,

"it's safe to say if we don't find food soon
we won't make it through winter"

if he doesnt find something fulfilling soon, he doesnt know how he can go on, he needs his food, of the spirit

c'mon, he's walking hjes running hes picking up steam, he knows hes good at what he does, but that doesnt seal the deal, hes threatening to explode, make an impact, regardless of effect,

hes going to make it hes going to make it

i know they had already produces 2 albums before this, but thats not to say he wasnt still searching for something, or that maybe they were older thoughts he was just never able to articulate to a song like here, it seems oyu would have to be very selective to be so damn good

i think the song is most apparant in its first two lines, its quite insightful

its safe to say im walking a lot
its safe to say im thinner

sure, could be a soldier, but it sounds more like an unfulfilled searching to me
