Running Down The Way Up Lyrics
The lower centers in me revolve around
Derive their meaning from my self will
As I watch the sun highlight your Midas touch
Conscious light gets through somehow
Yet I always fail to notice
Yet I always fail to notice
That I'm still heading for the ground
From conditioned red
To condition red
Heading for the ground
(Then amber flashes)
From conditioned red
To condition red
Yet I always fail to notice,
I'm always heading for the ground
Running down the way up
The visible effect
runs through my blood
As I watch the sun highlight your Midas touch
Conscious light gets through somehow
I always fail to notice
I'm heading for the ground
Has desire found a shady avenue?
(Standing above - below me)
Has desire found a shady avenue?
(Standing above - below me)
And I always fail to notice
Yet, I always fail to notice
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
And if we doubt
we can hardly hope to shine
And the sun
could eventually be outshone
And if we doubt
we can hardly hope to shine
And the sun
could eventually be outshone
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
...down the way up
Some conscious light gets through somehow
Yet, I fail to notice
Then I'm heading for the ground
Some conscious light gets through somehow
Yet, I fail to notice
Then I'm heading for the ground
Running down the way up
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
Derive their meaning from my self will
As I watch the sun highlight your Midas touch
Conscious light gets through somehow
Yet I always fail to notice
Yet I always fail to notice
That I'm still heading for the ground
To condition red
Heading for the ground
(Then amber flashes)
From conditioned red
To condition red
Yet I always fail to notice,
I'm always heading for the ground
runs through my blood
As I watch the sun highlight your Midas touch
Conscious light gets through somehow
I always fail to notice
I'm heading for the ground
(Standing above - below me)
Has desire found a shady avenue?
(Standing above - below me)
And I always fail to notice
Yet, I always fail to notice
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
we can hardly hope to shine
And the sun
could eventually be outshone
And if we doubt
we can hardly hope to shine
And the sun
could eventually be outshone
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Always running down the way up
and you're standing there
(Running down...)
Yet, I fail to notice
Then I'm heading for the ground
Some conscious light gets through somehow
Yet, I fail to notice
Then I'm heading for the ground
and you're standing there

just an amazing song....
i think its about someone who's so enamored by someone, that they don't see the obsticles in their way that are stopping them from getting to that person... the things in the way don't waiver their pursuit because they want the person so badly....
one of my favoritest bt songs ever....it gives off that vibe that is just hard to explain.
Great song..I agree with TWP on the assessment of this song.
BT seems to be acknowledging that he feels spiritually confused, and hides his message behind a poetic veil. From what I've gathered, he says that things go from bad to worse, yet it doesn't seem like God is doing anything about it. It always feels like he's going the wrong direction, but God doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. Then he goes on to talk about doubting himself and being out shined. He seems afraid of giving up his self will to worship God, because possibly he fears that something bad will happen.
We all interpret songs differently. But I couldn't help myself by asking: where do you get God from anywhere within in the song?

And when he says, "Has desire found a shady avenue?" He speaks of how he finds his desires unquenchable, because they fill in the void of space, but he always fails to notice when things are spiralling out of control. He seems to be acknowledging some sort of blindness.
