Oingo Boingo – Running on a Treadmill Lyrics 1 year ago
a great song that i hear no one talk about besides the deepest of oingo boingo fanclubs, which deserves far more attention. i think one of the best aspects of this song is the so many ways that it can be interpreted, so i figured i'll throw in my two cents into this conversation. i'll start off with the most catchy part of the song, that being the chorus. i think that "running on a treadmill" can be interpreted as the main character bettering himself in hopes that "you" will recognize him. i'd also like to say that contrary to the interpretations of posters before me, i think that the song is about someone who wishes to be in a relationship with "you" yet can't manage to, rather than already being in one. in other words, having more or less the same story as "just once or twice is good for your soul." theres what i've got to say, but as i stated before theres a number of ways to interpret this song, so believe whatever interpretation you like the best.
