“Run for Cover” Captures the Ache of Wanting Someone You Know is Destroying You

I like her better than a sunny day | A winter freeze, a black disease, my cancer | That’s how we’ll be together | So that I’m not lonely when I breathe. ”

Lyrics from the track

I think what makes this song unique is its self-awareness. It’s the recognition that the real prison is inside your own mind; it’s not really another person you’re at war with - it’s the unrelenting grip of obsession itself.”

Hallie Marie

Clinging to someone else doesn’t work. It doesn’t fill the void within you. It’s just a bandaid, and when that bandaid is ripped off, you’re left with the same, unhealed wound, crying, ‘anyone…’”

Marie says.

I walk down the stairs | Broken glass is everywhere | Our picture is bare | She’s so tall - I’m not there”

Lyrics from the track

Here, two things are happening at once; the first is the event of the picture frame being smashed and the photo implied to be disfigured. The second is the inner experience of a person losing their identity. I like to include layered meanings in my lyrics as a way of exploring the complexities of human experience.”
