about

"Running (From My Problems)" is the first original song released in my Cloud Color project. It tells the story of my protagonist living on their own for the first time, and the realization of their biggest fault: always letting issues go without ever addressing them. Letting things go can be healthy in moderation, but if left unchecked, can reach a boiling point.

This is a song I am very proud of. It is my pleasure to release it, and my hope that someone may find comfort in knowing they aren't the only one struggling. We are all just trying to find our way, and I urge everyone to treat themselves with kindness. 💜

lyrics

When I was 22, I moved to New York City
Made modifications to my body
Do you really know me?
Cut 20 inches off my hair too
That’s just how I do it
So complacent, making changes, getting wasted…
Thought I’d be free escaping things
But am I really?
Maybe I’m just

Running, running, running from my problems
Because, because that’s how I solve them
That’s how I solve them
Running, running, running from my problems
Because, because that’s how I solve them
That’s how I solve them

Now I do well on my own. But on the contrary
I need medication in my body
Sometimes, I don’t even know me
I know, confront my issues
But that’s just how I lose it
Hidden triggers make me so sicker. Run away from here…
Thought I’d be free escaping things
But I’m not really
I’m just

Running, running, running from my problems
Because, because that’s how I solve them
That’s how I solve them
Running, running, running from my problems
Because, because that’s how I solve them
That’s how I solve them

Running, running, running from my problems
Because, because that’s how I solve them
That’s how I solve them
Running, running, running from my problems
Because, because that’s how I solve them
That’s how I solve them
