Fox on the run
1rko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
Okay, you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked alright before
Fox on the run
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy on the run
F-foxy
Fox on the run
And hide away
You (you) talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand (second hand)
I've heard it all before
I don't wanna know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
Fox on the run
You scream and everybody comes a running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Foxy on the run
F-foxy
Fox on the run
And hide away
The lyrics to 1rko's song "Fox On The Run" describe the singer's disdain for a certain person who appears to be fixated on their appearance and dropping names of bands they may or may not actually be familiar with. The singer expresses a desire not to know this person's name because they no longer look the same as they did before, suggesting that their new focus on their appearance has changed them in a negative way in the singer's eyes. The chorus, "Fox on the run, you scream and everybody comes a running, take a run and hide yourself away, foxy on the run," seems to suggest that this person has a habit of drawing attention to themselves, and the singer advises them to hide away instead.
The title "Fox On The Run" likely refers to a fox being chased by hounds, with the hunted animal frantically running away in an attempt to hide from its pursuers. In this sense, the person being addressed in the lyrics is like a fox being chased by people. The song itself has a catchy, upbeat melody that contrasts with the somewhat darker lyrics, giving it a distinctive sound that has helped it endure over the years.
