The meaning of the lyrics of the song "I Start to Run" by the artist "White Denim"

Contents

This song "I Start to Run" by White Denim explores themes of paranoia and anxiety experienced by the lyrics' protagonist. During the day, while walking down the street, he feels someone's eyes on him, as if someone is eavesdropping on his thoughts, "the song in his head." This feeling makes him want to run away, to hide from this invisible observer.

At night, the situation changes. The hero "robs the street," which can be a metaphor for more liberated, daring behavior under the cover of darkness. However, the feeling of anxiety and persecution does not leave him. He still feels like he is being watched, and this feeling makes him "start to run" again and again.

The repetition of the phrase "And I start to run" reinforces the feeling of anxiety and hopelessness. The hero seems to be trapped in his own mind; wherever he is, day or night, he cannot get rid of the feeling of being persecuted.

Daytime I'm walking street

Daytime I'm walking street

I'm walking street yeah

Somebody's listening

I feel like someone's listening

To the song in my head

I start to run [4x]

Nighttime I hit the street

Nighttime I hit the street

I hit the street yeah

Somebody's listening

I feel like someone's listening

To the song in my head

I start to run [4x]

(I start to run)

Daytime I'm walking street

Daytime I'm walking street

I'm walking street yeah

(I start to run)

Somebody's listening

I feel like someone's listening

To the song in my head

I start to run [4x]
