Yay! First one to comment! I love Run Kid Run...one of my many iTunes discoveries.
This song feels like it’s about people who let modern society dictate their every move, like sardines in a bait ball. People do tend to jump on a mind-numbing bandwagon thinking, “ooh, everyone does such and such, so I can do it too and not get caught/hurt/etc.” You think you have it all but in actuality, you have no freedom; you’re doing what “everyone else is doing”, you’re under submission to the dictates of the masses.
Eventually when people call for change or try to shed light on the reality of the situation, many become blind (or in this case, numb – “You’re breaking up and I can’t even FEEL the difference”) to their call out. Motionless Intentions – the fact of the matter is that while we feel we have the freedom to step up and do all the good in the world, or to provoke change, we don’t act on our intentions, especially if we're following society since what matters most is what others think of us. The more we follow, the more we depart from our individuality
(Honestly you're on a one track mind
You parade a modern march
That's falling far behind from who you are)
Anyways, that’s how I see this song; it’s about someone who is different and is “calling you out”, trying to awaken you from your hypnotic need to follow the masses. Cool song, love the band.
