However, while admitting the dependence on social, economic and other conditions, one wishes to examine art from the position of more permanent values.
Run Right Back
The Black Keys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's gonna want to explode
Never step aside
Never run and hide
She holds it all under
That pretty head of hers, oh
It comes screaming out
In an electric shout
She's the worst thing
I've been addicted to
I run right back
Run right back to her
I won't jump the track
I'll run right back I'm sure
I'll run right back to her
Well she's a special thing
She doesn't read too much, oh
But there's no doubt
She's written about
Finest exterior
She's so superior, oh
But she won't allow
And I'm wounded now
She's the worst thing
I've been addicted to, oh no
Oh no, oh no, I run right back
Run right back to her
I won't jump the track
I'll run right back I'm sure
I'll run right back to her
I'll run right back to her, oh
I'll run right back to her
I'll run right back to her, oh
I'll run right back to her
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
The Black Keys' song Run Right Back explores the complications and contradictions in a toxic relationship. The first verse suggests that the female protagonist is likely to explode before she hits the ground. The lyrics imply that the woman in question is keeping something bottled up inside, and it will eventually come out in a loud and explosive manner. The second verse describes the woman as someone who is stunning on the outside, but who has wounds that she refuses to acknowledge or confront. The chorus emphasizes the singers' addiction to this woman and their inability to break free from the cycle of hurt and reconciliation.
The lines, "Never step aside, never run and hide" indicate that the singer is committed to this relationship- they are not going to be pushed away, no matter how explosive or harmful it may be. For the singer, the pain of being apart from the woman is less than the pain of being with her; hence they will always run right back to her. The song seems to suggest that this return is due to the comfort that comes from familiarity, even when that familiarity is unhealthy. The track explores the idea of addiction, not just to substances but also towards behaviours and people.
Line by Line Meaning
Before she hits the ground
Before our relationship falls apart completely
She's gonna want to explode
She'll want to express all her emotions and frustrations
Never step aside
Never avoid our problems
Never run and hide
Never escape from the relationship
She holds it all under
She suppresses her emotions
That pretty head of hers, oh
Despite her attractive appearance
It comes screaming out
Her emotions eventually burst out
In an electric shout
In a highly charged, explosive manner
She's the worst thing
She's the most harmful thing
I've been addicted to
I can't resist her even though she's bad for me
I run right back
I always come back to her
Run right back to her
I return to the relationship
I won't jump the track
I won't leave the relationship
I'm sure
I'm confident I'll keep coming back
Well she's a special thing
She's unique and different from others
She doesn't read too much, oh
She's not highly educated
But there's no doubt
However, there's no denying
She's written about
She's the subject of many songs and stories
Finest exterior
She seems appealing on the outside
She's so superior, oh
She acts like she's better than others
But she won't allow
She won't let anyone close to her
And I'm wounded now
I'm hurt by her actions
Oh no, oh no, I run right back
Despite the pain, I keep returning to her
I'll run right back to her, oh
I'll keep coming back to the relationship
I'll run right back to her
I'll always return to her
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Reinforcing and emphasizing the addiction-like nature of the relationship
