Running

Onlap's song 'Running' delves into the internal struggle of constantly feeling pressured and overwhelmed by life's demands. The lyrics express a sense of exhaustion and the relentless pursuit of peace and contentment. The protagonist feels the weight of their responsibilities and the pressure to keep moving forward, even when they yearn for a moment of tranquility. This is evident in lines like 'I think I'm not so tired, I just feel the pressure of all the things that I have in mind,' which highlight the mental burden they carry.

The recurring theme of 'falling down' and 'fading away' signifies the protagonist's feelings of despair and the fear of not being able to keep up with the pace of life. Despite their efforts to stay strong and survive, they feel like they are never truly close to achieving their goals or finding peace. The plea for salvation in the chorus, 'Save me from everything, tell me where to find my way,' underscores their desperation for guidance and relief from their struggles.

The song also touches on the idea of constantly working hard and never taking the time to appreciate the present moment. The lyrics 'Always working fast and hard, never thinking about now' reflect a common societal issue where individuals are so focused on future achievements that they neglect their current well-being. Onlap's 'Running' serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of finding balance in life and the need to take a step back to breathe and reflect, even amidst the chaos.
