🌀 Running Through Traffic – Bonnie Legion

A Sound Legion Production
Genre: Raw Acoustic / Poetic Indie Folk
🎧 Song Description (by Bonnie Legion)

“Running Through Traffic” is a raw acoustic unraveling—part song, part stream-of-consciousness soul expulsion. It's built from stripped-down acoustic guitar strums layered with subtle rhythmic swells and poetic, dramatic vocals that drift between vulnerability and cosmic defiance.

This is a song about the blur between truth and nonsense, existence and illusion, and what it means to fall—through gravity, through dreams, through yourself. It was born from wonder and weariness. From wanting to know the truth so badly that you start questioning whether truth was ever built to make sense in a world like this.

It’s an emotional hallucination carved into melody—a surreal drama told through myth, mineral, memory, and the aching heart. Delilah, in this piece, is not just a name. She’s a voice, a mirage, a creation of the narrator’s fragmented mind. A vessel of hope or an invented god.

This song explores infinity, perception, alienation, and consciousness as a messy artistic prayer. If you’ve ever felt like you were falling through the noise, whispering to the stars, asking the moon if it’s real—this is for you.

📝 Lyrics: Running Through Traffic

by Bonnie Legion
I sat alone when you saw me
I was alone when you called me
nobody's here, we're all falling
down, down to the bottom of the ground

I mix with the air, I am hollow
still bleeding fair, we will call though
silence is warry, I'm hopeful
the moonlight’s like nonsense inside of my conscience eye

and I was just laying there floating
speaking to the stars and hoping
that someone would hear me spoken
the words that melted stone-like Delilah

she was an angel in heaven
fell down far to the graveyard
someone there saw her, he spoke of
the words—she was doing some falsehood
no clue by the law

oh can you help me, Delilah
I need my vision to wake up
they've all been lying, Delilah
I'm falling into the empty of your cup

whisper me truths now, Delilah
stare at my bruise now, Delilah
they all use me, and now I fall to the stars
through the ground
through the Martian lands

and there's a desert and no one’s here
this is an alien world
make sure there's something to fall on
he said it, and I don't understand you
'cause if I'm falling, I'm falling forward
striving to power, I see what's coming
if it smacks me, I'll take it, Delilah
in my conscience, I made you up
I made you up, kinda

you rose with the gentle inside ya
created me something better
sending me watching in the lighthouse
hear me falling, calling to the white mouse

everyone's watching, Delilah
the moon, sun, the stars, the nirvana
climbing the stairway, Delilah
God spoke fairly and the messenger denied ya

I sat alone when you saw me
I was alone when you called me
nobody's here, we're all falling
down, down to the bottom of the ground
I mix with the air, I am hollow
still bleeding fair, we will call though
silence is warry, I'm hopeful
the moonlight’s like nonsense inside of my conscience eye
