Lucky Daye Running Blind

Instrumentally, the track is beautifully dense. The track is driven by consistent strikes of a wobbly guitar that progresses the urgency of the song. A steadily increasing and beating drum line compliments this well and becomes progressively more complex as the verses build-up to the chorus.

The highlight of the song, however, comes with Daye’s commanding voice and impeccable vocal range. The singer’s voice has a very special rasp to it, reminiscent of talents like Anderson .Paak, that makes the lyrics that much more emotive. Daye is also able to lift his voice in and out of a falsetto so seamlessly, further evidencing his vocal capabilities. This is all topped off nicely with layered vocal harmonies that power the background of the verse and chorus.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What to believe? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Stuck in the scene (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Covered in green (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
While they runnin’, runnin’ the streets

[Refrain]
I run up a check (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I don’t know what’s next (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know that it seems (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even livin’, livin’, ain’t just livin’ to live (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Take the time to get my mind right (Ooh)
Gotta paint a better picture with you (Ah, ooh)
I ain’t waitin’ ’til the plane dry (Ooh)
We get higher when we playin’ flight (Ah, ooh)
Strip the nigga of his timeline
But as long as we got stripper pictures in our timeline (Ooh)
All nines, all right (Alright, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]
What about, we the people?
On the line, ’til he bleeds through, oh whoa
All our lives
We’ve been runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ blind
Got me runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ blind
Hey, hey (Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo), hey, hey
Hey, hey (Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo), hey, hey
Hey, hey (Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo), hey, hey
Hey, hey (Oh whoa, oh, oh, whoa), hey, hey

[Verse 2]
Why are we here? (Why are we here?)
Visions are clear (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
My mind feel (My mind feel)
Drownin’ in our own tears

[Refrain]
Se we run up a check (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
‘Cause I don’t know what’s next (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
All she really needs (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Is a little, little bit of free (Hey, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Take the time to get my mind right (Oh-oh, ooh)
Gotta paint a better picture with you (Ah, ooh)
I ain’t waitin’ ’til the plane dry (Ooh)
We get higher when we playin’ flight (Ah, ooh)
Strip the nigga of his timeline
But as long as we got stripper pictures in our timeline (Ooh)
All nines, all right (Alright, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]
What about, we the people? (We the people)
On the line (On the line), ’til he bleeds through, oh whoa
All our lives
We’ve been runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ blind
Got me runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ blind
Hey, hey (Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo), hey, hey
Hey, hey (Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo), hey, hey
Hey, hey (Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo), hey, hey
Hey, hey (Oh whoa, oh, oh, whoa), hey, hey
