► LYRICS:
I can't get out
No no, I can't get out
I can't get out.
This pattern it's maddening making a tragedy happen
That’s not even real
No I can't get out
Stop looking at me as if I'm your friend
And please stop talking to me like I’ll let you in
With every breath that I take
I spiral around and around
And down and I’m not ever fighting back
Against the intrusive thoughts
Clarity can't be bought
Oh no I wont get out
I wont get, I wont get….
I can't get out
No no, I can't get out
I can't get out.
This pattern it's maddening making a tragedy happen
That’s not even real
No I can't get out
Stop looking at me as if I'm your friend
And please stop talking to me like I’ll let you in
And every word that you say I'll twist it around and around
And then down until I can’t recognize you
Give in to intrusive thoughts
Clarity can't be bought
Oh no I wont get out
I won’t get, I won’t get…
I can’t get out
No, no I can’t get out
No.
I’m a run run run, I’m runnin’, I’m runnin’
Im a run run run, I’m runnin’, I’ll run
I’ll run forever, I’ll run I’m a run runnin’ x7
I don’t want to leave, but I don’t want to stay
No I don’t want to leave, but I don’t want to stay.

This is such a good interpretation of how intrusive thoughts can overcome us and we just accept them as true. We want to get away from them but they follow us everywhere and we're stuck. I love how relatable this can be for so many people. Very creative video. I love it

This video represents the anxiety and other mental disorders very well, i love Willlow so much
This is an absolute bop. So many amazing vocal techniques going on, sublte genre blending, expressive singing....yeah. Its a hit.
This is ART !!! This lady is an ARTIST !!! This song is SO awesome & painful ... Willow is kill'in the game, and I hope that people will wake up, to the genius of her music. This song gave me chills !!! Love this lady !!!
I still cry every time I listen to Run! and Symptom of Life...these are the best songs I've heard in quite some time. The music, the lyrics...perfection! Thank you for this, Willow!!!

If everyone could hug themselves like that the world would be a much better place!!!!
I turned 58 this year and discovered Empathogen and the music of Willow, whom I had written off as some rich kid with access to whatever resources she needed to entertain and live out her passing whims and fancies. Man, was I wrong and reminded not to read a book by its cover? I'm obsessed with Empathogen and all of her music. What an incredible artist, and at such a young age. I can't wait to see more from her! Love her!

“Egyptian Goddess” vibes fr fr ~❤❤❤
Willow has so much talent, it’s amazing how she portrays existentialism, spirituality and so much more through her music, videos and lyrics. It always amazes me how she’s capable of such creativity of portraying human behaviours, portraying how it is to have a deep connection with your body, your mind and your soul, which can be really painful and a dangerous path to go on. The final scene did such an amazing representation on how it feels to acknowledge you are lost, therefore you’re not the same person you where before, you’ve changed and even though it’s normal, it’s really difficult, challenging and can lead to losing yourself and everything that makes you, YOU. You can lose all of fucking you, and still wish is going back to who you where, because, as humans, we have the tendency to attach, even to ourselves. The last scene represents how it feels the comeback of who you thought you lost in yourself, reconnecting again with your deepest self. Thank you Willow for sharing with us such a beautiful scene, and making everyone of us who listens to you wanna fucking cry cause we know we cannot go back to our past selves and hug them tightly, or hug ourselves again through the lost of our pieces. Change is inevitable, we can go to the past but nothing is there anymore, but we can always return to the memory of who we where, or find ourselves, again and again, but never in the same way, that is painful as fuck but also a normal part of being a human. Thank you Willow for making this amazing song and video, which also portrays you have found yourself again, and I think that’s fucking amazing. There’s nothing more fucked up than losing yourself and finally bring you back to life after all the shit.
Impressive. Willow captures so much that is hard to put into words let alone understand. I love too how she uses her hair as art. There is a beauty in her truth. what a gift.
