"Runaway Train" captures the feeling of depression spinning out of control, using the powerful metaphor of a runaway train, a concept that fascinated the lead singer since childhood. The lyrics originated from his own experience with depression, particularly after a nervous breakdown. The opening line reflects a friend's unwavering support, always there to answer the phone. This song, from the album Grave Dancers Union, delves into the overwhelming nature of mental struggle. Playing it can evoke the raw emotion of being on a journey you can't stop, and the search for connection amidst that feeling.
