Shamir Takes An Animated Journey To Toxic Friends & Gender Dysphoria In “Running”

Video still from Shamir – Running [Official Video]
“‘Running’ is a song I wrote about a time in my life when I was a part of a toxic friend group where I was the only non-cis person,” Shamir explained. “The song is from the perspective of me now realizing how much it affected my mental health after being a few years removed and realizing how much I was dulling myself down so I did not stick out any more than I already did — and also how that directly made me experience gender dysphoria for the first time ever.”
The track is from Shamir’s upcoming self-titled album, which will be out on October 2nd.
