The Boxer Rebellion – The Runner lyrics
Different
They'll destroy you
But it ain't nothing
It ain't nothing to me

Different
They'll destroy you
But it ain't nothing
It ain't nothing to me

Different, they'll destroy you,
But it ain't nothing, it ain't nothing to me
(Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need)

Built on the departed, is a lie, is a lie
(Different, they'll destroy you,
But it ain't nothing, it ain't nothing to me)
(Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need)

Built on the departed, is a lie, is a lie
(Different, they'll destroy you,
But it ain't nothing, it ain't nothing to me)
(Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need)

Honesty, honesty, on a string, on a string
Honesty, honesty

Different
They'll destroy you
But it ain't nothing
It ain't nothing to me

Different
They'll destroy you
But it ain't nothing
It ain't nothing to me

Honesty, honesty, on a string, on a string
Honesty, honesty, on a string, on a string

Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need

Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need
(Different, they'll destroy you,
But it ain't nothing, it ain't nothing to me)

Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need
(Different, they'll destroy you,
But it ain't nothing, it ain't nothing to me)

Built up the departed, is a lie, is a lie
(Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need)
(Different, they'll destroy you,
But it ain't nothing, it ain't nothing to me)

Built up the departed, is a lie, is a lie
(Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need)
(Different, they'll destroy you,
But it ain't nothing, it ain't nothing to me)

Dissipate in isolation, irretrievable salvation,
The only thing, the only thing you need
(Different, they'll destroy you,
But it ain't nothing, it ain't nothing to me)

    Why the "runner"? Because he's running from the truth in his own head. In each line, he's trying to convince himself: ain't nothing to me or the only thing you need? Those are completely opposite! Honesty or on a string? Make up your mind! Destruction or salvation? The runner can't decide, he can only run. Such a beautiful sucker-punch of a song. The harmony of opposing ideas can be schizophrenic or cathartic, but the harmonies in this song are pure-truth ugly-truth genius.
