Hypermisophoniac Lyrics

[Verse]
Every sound I hear
Is louder than the last
Sounds like a dynamite blast
When you click your teeth
I need relief

Each one, each one
Louder than the last and
Makes my fingers curl
Sounds like a dynamite blast

[Chorus]
Ain't no runnin'
Ain't no runnin'
When you're robbing a bank
When you're robbing a bank

Ain't no runnin'
Ain't no runnin', ain't no runnin'
When you're robbing a bank
When you're robbing a bank

Ain't nowhere to run
When you're robbing a bank
When you're robbing a bank

[Break]
You ship your drink
And I start to think
That I'm the only one
That can hear all the sounds in the world

[Chorus]
Nowhere to run
When you're robbing a bank
When you're robbing a bank

Ain't nowhere, ain't nowhere
Nowhere to run
When you're robbing a bank
When you're robbing a bank

Ain't nowhere, ain't nowhere
Nowhere to run
When you're robbing a bank
When you're robbing a bank

[Outro]
Nowhere to run
When you're robbing a bank

Cover art for Hypermisophoniac lyrics by Jack White

For the most part this looks like it's just about someone with misophonia (or, a little more metaphorically, someone who can't help getting scared of or upset about insignificant things), but the chorus I'm not sure about. I'm thinking it might be a reference to sound banks? Like, ain't nowhere to run when someone's using every sound available to them and being as loud as possible.
