Norah Jones - Running

1. Obvious interpretation is to be discarded. That it is a single man she is running from her baby-daddy. In this Wake Opera, the meaning of romance conflicts should look at the children in the song as the future generation of humanity. That it is society and "god" that is toxic to run from. This song is being repurosed in this context of  Finnegans Wake.

2. "try to sleep, but the" ... Finnegans Wake is night hours

3. "does it hurt me to stay"

4. "stars shine" 

5. "tellming myself it is for you" - the youth, children, the future of all mankind/huamnity. Key here is that she is programming her own mind, and sharing that program in the form of this monomyth song to the public. She has created this lyrical poem to remind herself and share with others the struggle of this paradox of compassion in life.

6. 'in the night the devil keeps knocking on my door", again -discard any one man meaning we are alll in society together. The idea that a person has absolute control of generaetions of children being raised by It takes a Village. Love and compassion from the whole community needs to influece her, he man she speaks of, the children in the video, all encounters, etc. "In the night the devil knocks on my door" - the door was the perfect midnight hour, she the door between the playlists divisons in this Pub Crawl of Finnegans Wake.

7. "He begs me to stay" -= He could be Levant God / Jesus / Yahweh which is a 'He".

8. "same thing happened before, and he begs me to stay" - Clergy will begg you to stay in a system of thinking and rituals.

9. "I keep running, oh cus I don't wanna pay" - pay the price of being a member of greater society raising children, having to teach and leture a loer doing vad things, and lecture all of society lovers with this song, the compassion suffering of authoring this song and dealing with all the systems of publication and sharing.
