‘Run!’ Don’t Walk to Stream WILLOW’s New Music

We’ve been riding a high this week because WILLOW dropped new music! Her latest album, empathogen, is packed with 12 heart-wrenching beautifully written songs in just a short 32-minute experience. We have to admit that it’s one of our favorite album releases this year and ‘run!’ is at the top of our May 2024 playlists. 

If you want all the gossip on her newest music video, keep on reading, honeybee!

Lyrics

One of the most exciting things about being a WILLOW fan is that her lyrics are always so innovative, raw, and real. She knows how to write relatable words that anyone can connect to in some capacity. Her passion is what makes a true artist successful in their craft.

[Chorus]

“I can’t get out
No, no, I can’t get out
No, I can’t get out
This pattern, it’s maddening
Making a tragedy happen that’s not even real
Oh no, I can’t get out
Oh, oh, I can’t get out”

[Verse 1]

“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 then down and I’m not ever fighting back
Against the intrusive thoughts, clarity can’t be bought
Oh no, I won’t get out
I won’t get, I won’t get”

[Chorus]

“I can’t get out
No, no, I can’t get out
No, I can’t get out
This pattern, it’s maddening
Making a tragedy happen that’s not even real
Oh no, I can’t get out
Oh, oh, I can’t get out”

[Verse 2]

“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 won’t get out
I won’t get, I won’t get”

Music Video

Ok, now that you’ve read the lyrics and really soaked in the beauty of the song, it’s time to stream the music video. WILLOW never fails in the production and story of her visuals. We see her sitting in a cell, going through a string of emotions at the lens of the camera. By the end of the video she has escaped the cell and is running free on the streets, but we don’t want to spoil everything that happens in between, so you’ll just have to check out the video for yourself now. 

Although at times hard to watch, this video hit hard and we love how she interpreted the lyrics through visual media. What was your favorite moment?

What’s Next?

So, what’s next? Now that you’ve fallen in love with ‘run!’ it’s time to stream the rest of WILLOW’s new album, empathogen. It has some amazing features along with a couple of our other favorite WILLOW songs like ‘b i g f e e l i n g s.’ We’re looking forward to more amazing visuals from this album along with a deluxe…maybe? (One can only hope!)
