Runaway Train
J. R. Rothrock 2026
Life can feel remarkably steady--until suddenly it doesn’t.
Runaway train is a hard-driving, mysterious instrumental about that uneasy place between control and chaos. We move through life believing we have our hands on the controls, choosing our direction and regulating our speed. But sometimes the momentum begins to build. Responsibilities, decisions, circumstances and time itself start to move faster than we expected.
And before we realize it, we’re no longer driving the train.
The strange thing is—we’re still on the track.
There is still a road beneath us and a direction ahead, but the speed can make everything feel dangerously out of control. The harder we try to regain command, the faster the scenery seems to rush past.
Runaway train lives in that tension: the thin and slippery line between being in control… and simply holding on.
Sometimes it’s about trusting the track.
