Steve Umculo adopts a more moody and melancholic facet to his usual happy demeanour in this tongue-in-cheek sociopolitical statement. “Running out of Space” is a groovy alternative-pop song that doubles up as a thought experiment exploring one mind’s place in a world that shrinks day by day. Teaming up with Ugandan rapper, Khài, Steve comments on factors including globalised media, overpopulation, global warming and worldwide lockdowns that all influence a small cacophony of sound ever closing in on an individual soul.

Lyrics:
If you keep looking down
Your favourite shoes
Might lose their colour
Your life is all around
May we be your muse
And abuse each other

Changing lanes
Wait your turn
And live for anything
They say in hell
The good things burn

Ooo
We’re running out of space
In such a crowded place
Won’t make it out alive
Ooo
This world is getting strange
Things are gonna change for you and I

I focus on the floor
I can't take it anymore
Someone shouts out
Nothing that I haven't heard before
And in a twist of fate
My friends will renovate
The place they lead us in
Straight up to the pearly gates
I'm on a early waiting list
I'm surely fading
This is closing score
This is what we asked for

Changing lanes
Wait your turn
And live for anything
They say in hell
The good things burn

Ooo
We’re running out of space
In such a crowded place
Won’t make it out alive
Ooo
This world is getting strange
Things are gonna change for you and I

I got no problem with four walls but they’re closing in
Stuck in the middle, posing like a ballerina
My arena, world stage, violins
Back to the future
What I need is gasoline and vaseline
My lips chapped talking ‘bout if there is a future
Is hiding the way that we fight
Are we hiding away from the fight?
Are we blocking the light?
Oh well it’s whatever will suit ya
Minus a couple of degrees, we bring in the pain
I might just rip my mask off and hug all my friends
‘Coz if we’re scared of touching who is standing to gain
‘Coz you can best believe we’re about to do it again
I fight understanding what we’re going through
With the despair of never knowing when it’s gon’ be through
So it’s hello, it’s good morning, all of y’all are welcome
To view my life on the other side of the webcam

Ooo
We’re running out of space
In such a crowded place
Won’t make it out alive
Ooo
This world is getting strange
Things are gonna change for you and I

Ooo
We’re running out of space
In such a crowded place
Won’t make it out alive
Ooo
This world is getting strange
Things are gonna change for you and I
