Every Time You Run

My bestie, Emilie, loves Manafest and they are just now starting to hit mainstream radio...FINALLY! This particular song features the lead singer from Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK) singing the chorus. I love the sound of Manafest doing their hip-hop/rap sound and then Trevor McNevan comes in and does his thing.
The show "Intervention" makes me think of this song. The people on that show make me sad. Without exception each of them are running hard and fast from something/someone. From a wound or a hurt. The cliche, "you can run but you can't hide", is actually true. No matter how hard, fast, far, etc we try to run we can't outrun the One who created us and is with us at all times. Try as hard as you want, you won't succeed. Every time you run there is your Creator, right there with you.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
