About MaxwellsSilverHammer
I am a 20 year urban planning student from New York. I go to school, and work, way too much.
I'm a level II mod on this site, so if you have questions regarding the site I could be of good help.
As for my crappy advice: it is crappy. If you listen to anything I suggest you will most probably find yourself running through town naked, or something equally hilarious, because I am a sadist.
And of course, I will hit you with my guitar, and then steal all of your intelligence for my own personal stash.

P.S.: Storageanddisposal is actually 12, and Fern sucks.

Can anyone tell me in their own words what they think the song Run-Around by Blues Traveler is about? I've looked up the song meanings, but I just wanted to see what other people thought it was about. Thanks, this is my favorite song!
I had the same question about three years ago.
The explanation I found at http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=423 (the first one) was good enough for me when I looked at the lyrics and it made sense.
"And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully"
He "lie[s]" and says he "[doesn't] mind" that she doesn't want to be with him. He'll still be her friend, and "be [t]here" for her, but he fears he still can't hold back his true feelings.
"Hey baby let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well"
Once again, he wants more than he can have -- she's just out of reach. He's so close to her as a friend but, of course, it's so close but so far away from what he really wants.
"I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take"
At the end of the song, time has elapsed, and he still is mad with love for her, he's can't "shake" his dream.
The "run-around" is just the roller coaster of emotions she's taken him on.

(Rating: 5)Wow, I cannot thank you enough for posting. That was seriously the best answer I could've gotten. And also, strangely enough, you posted my three favorite verses. (Which were the ones I specifically wanted to know about, but didn't say hah) But thank you so much, you have no idea how much this has helped me, thank you thank you thank you!
