Farline menulis “Running Blind” di awal 90-an, lalu membiarkannya tidur lebih dari tiga dekade sebelum akhirnya diselesaikan setelah band ini reuni. Ironisnya, tema lagu tentang tidak bisa lari dari masa lalu itu terasa pas banget dengan perjalanan lagunya sendiri, sesuatu yang akhirnya kembali dan memaksa untuk diselesaikan.
“you can’t run from your past, memories all come back so fast” jadi inti keseluruhan cerita, tentang seseorang yang terus berusaha kabur dari rasa bersalah tapi selalu gagal.
Gitar yang urgent dan ritme yang terus mendorong maju bikin lagu ini terasa seperti soundtrack pengejaran, cocok dengan genre hard rock klasik yang jadi identitas Farline sejak awal.
“Feel the rage inside, and the pain you caused, take another hit, so it might go away” itu baris yang cukup gelap, menyiratkan seseorang yang mencoba menumpulkan rasa bersalahnya lewat cara yang justru memperparah keadaan.
Farline sendiri bilang masa lalu mereka belum benar-benar selesai, dan “Running Blind” jadi bukti nyata dari kalimat itu. Lagu yang dulu ditulis anak muda kini dinyanyikan orang-orang yang sudah melewati banyak hal, dan entah kenapa justru itu yang bikin ceritanya terasa lebih berat.
Lirik Lagu Farline – Running Blind
Running Blind 1st verse Like so many times, on the run again Haunted by the past, and by what he’s done Never found a need, to ever make a change Only in his mind, will he really pay? For so many crimes, like the one today Is it how it was before, will he ever find a way? Chorus Looking back it’s out to get you Like the light that’s all around you You can’t run from your past Memories all come back so fast Running from reality And the fear that you can’t see Is it all just in your mind? Or will you get away this time? Just Running Blind 2nd verse Through the stormy night, hiding in the dark Caught inside your prison, never to escape again Feel the rage inside, and the pain you caused Take another hit, so it might go away But you always know, is this all so real? Make yourself a victim, take a look at what you have done Chorus Looking back it’s out to get you Like the light that’s all around you You can’t run from your past Memories all come back so fast Running from reality And the fear that you can’t see Is it all just in your mind? Or will you get away this time? This Time Just Running Blind Chorus Looking back it’s out to get you Like the light that’s all around you You can’t run from your past Memories all come back so fast Running from reality And the fear that you can’t see Is it all just in your mind And will you get away this time Are you just running blind
