Renegade
ATB with Heather Nova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take care, cause I'm commin' in
I see my shadow and I don't know when
I'm alive with you
And it feels so true

We don't need shelter, only sky
Bring back the storms that made us high
I'm alive with you

(Chorus)
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Baby, I'm hurtin' too
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you

Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Baby, I'm hurtin' too
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you

Sweetheart, this world makes no sense
No pot of gold incense
I'm alive with you

We don't need shelter, only sky
Bring back the storms that made us high
But we're alive

(Chorus)


Find a dream, we'll take it all together
Find a dream cause you're the one I need
Find a dream, cause we won't live forever
Find a dream


Baby, I'm a renegade
Baby, I'm a renegade
Baby, I'm a renegade like you

(Break 2)
Run with me, we'll take it all together
Run with me, cause you're the one I need
Run with me, cause we won't live forever
Run with me
With me


(Chorus B)
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you

Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Baby, I'm hurtin' too




Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you

Overall Meaning

The song "Renegade" by ATB with Heather Nova tells the story of two people who are alike in their rebellious nature and the struggles they face. The lyrics describe the singer's journey through life and the world, seeking for something that makes sense, finally finding it in another person. The singer compares themselves to a renegade, someone who goes against the norm, and who is not afraid to take risks.


The lines "Take care, cause I'm coming in, I see my shadow and I don't know when" could mean the singer is warning their loved one that they are coming to their life, and they do not know what the future holds. The singer admits that they are alive with this person and it feels true. The lines, "We don't need shelter, only sky, Bring back the storms that made us high" could represent that the two people in the song do not need anything else to be happy but each other.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the connection between the two people, confessing that the singer is a renegade like their loved one, and that they both have been hurt, but they find comfort in each other. They both have traveled the world, but they are now running back to each other, as they are meant to be together. The song ends with a call to find a dream together and to cherish the moments they have together before it's too late.

Take care, cause I'm commin' in
Be careful because I'm coming closer


I see my shadow and I don't know when
I can't tell when I will be able to truly see myself


I'm alive with you
Being with you makes me feel alive


And it feels so true
What we have together feels genuine and real


We don't need shelter, only sky
We don't require anything but the vast openness of the sky


Bring back the storms that made us high
Let's relive the invigorating moments that once gave us life


Baby, I'm a renegade like you
I'm a rebel like you


Baby, I'm hurtin' too
I'm also in pain, just like you


Been around the world
I've traveled extensively

Sweetheart, this world makes no sense
My love, the world is senseless


No pot of gold incense
There is no way to gain wealth through false promises


But we're alive
Despite everything, we're still alive

Discover a dream and we'll pursue it as a team

Heard in a JCPenney's back in 2009. Managed to catch a few lyrics and found the song when I got home. Thank God.
