The meaning of the lyrics of the song "And We Run" by the artist "Within Temptation"

Contents

This song tells a story of battling inner demons and yearning for liberation. The lyrical hero is held captive by his own fears ("She burns your heart - that darkness you fear"), having never known true love or freedom.

However, a burning desire to break free from this darkness resides within his heart ("Your heart is not cold, for it burns with the desire to get out of this quagmire"). He decides to escape ("Hold your breath until there is nothing left… We run with lonely hearts"), symbolizing his pursuit of a better life, of love ("We run for love-killer").

"Love-killer" is a metaphor representing the power of love, capable of shattering old patterns and fears. The hero urges not to miss the moment and follow him ("Don't blink, don't miss the beat, heads up! It's time to make our feet").

In the second part, the hero emerges free from the shackles of the past ("I broke free, I ran through the rain…"). He has found inner strength and is ready to fight for his happiness, encouraging others to join him ("Join me! Let the whole world rise!").

"And We Run" is an anthem of fighting for freedom, love, and self-belief.

It burns into your heart,

The darkness that you fear.

You were never free

And you never realized.

And love is a word

You never heard.

Your heart ain't cold 'cause it burns,

A desire to leave the mire.

Take your breath till nothing's left.

Scars of life upon your chest.

And I know wherever it goes.

And we run with a lonely heart

And we run for this killing love

And we run till the heavens above

Yeah we run running in the dark

And we run till we fall apart

And we run till the heavens above

Don't blink, you'll miss it.

Lift up your head.

We gotta get gone.

Yeah, we outta here!

Don't blink, you'll miss it.

Lift up your head.

Too late, we're gone.

Yeah, we outta here.

And we run with a lonely heart

And we run for this killing love

And we long for a heavenly heart

I'ma break these chains,

Ran thru the rain

Never look back, never quit,

Work thru the pain.

This blood in my veins runs cold

When I think it'll never be the same

But I never lose hope

This MY time now,

No time for tears

Celebrate,

Put it in the air right now

Never back down,

You could never wear my crown

Cause it weighs too much

And I crush

Every mothafucking thing I touch

This is love

I never loved so much.

Get involved

Make the world stand up.

Give my life

Before I ever give up.

"Name in lights" you lost all my trust.

Now it's time to face all of us.

Get in line cause they callin' us.

And it feels marvelous,

Just take my hand and RUN!

And we run with a lonely heart

And we run for this killing love

And we run till the heavens above

Yeah we run, running in the dark

And we run till we fall apart

And we run till the heavens above

Yeah, we out of here.

Don't blink, you'll miss it.

Lift up your head.

We gotta get gone.

Yeah, we outta here.

Don't blink, you'll miss it.

Lift up your head.

Too late, we're gone.

Yeah, we outta here.

And we run with a lonely heart

And we run for this killing love

And we long for a heavenly heart

Don't blink, you'll miss it.

Lift up your head.

We gotta get gone.

Yeah, we outta here.

Don't blink, you'll miss it.

Lift up your head.

Too late, we're gone.

Yeah, we outta here.
