Run Away
Adam Lambert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So high up, shouting
Why can't everybody look
Deep inside for hope
That'll make the world open up

They don't want us
Then we really don't want them
They can hate us
But we won't let that bring us down

It won't bring us down
It won't bring us down

Run away, we won't wear out our stay
Run away, taking a holiday
Run away, let's you and me parade
Run away, then we can have our say

Our lives matter so much more than what's in their minds
I would rather disappear than live in fear
If they don't want us
Then we really don't want them
They can hate us
But we won't let that bring us down

It won't bring us down
It won't bring us down

Run away, we won't wear out our stay
Run away, taking a holiday
Run away, let's you and me parade
Run away, then we can have our say

Just run away, uh-huh
Just run away, uh-huh., uh-huh

It won't bring us down
It won't bring us down
Down to the ground
It won't bring us down
It won't bring us down

Run away, we won't wear out our stay
Run away, taking a holiday (It won't bring us down)
Run away, let's you and me parade
Run away, then we can have our say (It won't bring us down)

Run away, we won't wear out our stay
Run away, taking a holiday (It won't bring us down)
Run away, let's you and me parade
Run away, then we can have our say (It won't bring us down)

Run away, just run away
Run away (It won't bring us down)
Run away, just run away
Run away, then we can have our say (It won't bring us down)

Just run away, uh-huh (It won't bring us down)
Just run away, uh-huh




Just run away, uh-huh (It won't bring us down)
Just run away, uh-huh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adam Lambert's song Run Away seem to be about the power of self-belief against prejudice - the singer expresses the feeling that if others don't accept or like you for who you are, it's better to just "run away" and live your life on your own terms. In the opening verses, the lyrics suggest a search for hope that can heal the world, and feeling high up and shouting is perhaps a metaphor for expressing one's emotions and being one's true self in the face of adversity. Lambert says, "If they don't want us, then we really don't want them" – it's a rejection of being unwanted and publically declaring that who we are and the life we choose to live matter more than any opinions of the world.


The chorus of the song has a different, more uplifting tone- "Run away, we won't wear out our stay, take a holiday, let's you and me parade." Here the singer seems to embrace the idea of escaping and being with someone who accepts them, while they both have a good time. Together, they won't let anyone bring them down, and they can have their say or stand up for what they believe in. The idea of running away, in this case, is not an act of weakness but strength- it's a message that sometimes the best thing to do when you feel unwanted or misunderstood is to assert your personhood and leave behind anything that does not serve you. The song ends on a note of self-empowerment - just run away, uh-huh.

LLKAS Nico Robin

Steel to my trembling lips
How did the night ever get like this?
One shot and the whiskey goes down, down, down
Bottom of the bottle hits
Waking up my mind as I throw a fit
The breakin' is takin' me down, down, down
My heart's beating faster
I know what I'm after
I've been standing here my whole life
Everything I've seen twice
Now it's time I realized
It's spinning back around now
On this road I'm crawlin'
Save me cause I'm fallin'
Now I can't seem to breathe right
'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' from my heart
'Round and around I go
Addicted to the numb livin' in the cold
The higher, the lower, the down, down, down
Sick of being tired and sick
Of waiting for another kind of fix
The damage is damning me down, down, down
My heart's beating faster
I know what I'm after
I've been standing here my whole life
Everything I've seen twice
Now it's time I realized
It's spinning back around now
On this road I'm crawlin'
Save me cause I'm fallin'
Now I can't seem to breathe right
'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' from my heart
Whoa, I'm coming alive
Whoa, I'll wake up now and live
Whoa, I'm coming alive
A life that's always been a dream
I'll wake up now and live
I've been standing here my whole life
My heart's beating faster
I know what I'm after
I've been standing here my whole life
Everything I've seen twice
Now it's time I realized
It's spinning back around now
On this road I'm crawlin'
Save me cause I'm fallin'
Now I can't seem to breathe right
'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' from my heart
'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' from my heart



Mikael Peña Tapia

Acero a mis labios temblorosos
¿Cómo es que la noche se volvió así?
Un trago y el whisky baja, baja, baja
El fondo de la botella golpea
Despertando mi mente mientras hago un ataque
La ruptura me está derribando, abajo, abajo
Mi corazon late mas rapido
Se lo que estoy buscando
He estado parado aquí toda mi vida
Todo lo que he visto dos veces
Ahora es el momento de darme cuenta
Está dando vueltas ahora
En este camino me arrastro
Sálvame porque me estoy cayendo
Ahora parece que no puedo respirar bien
Porque sigo corriendo, corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Corriendo, corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Corriendo desde mi corazón
'Vueltas y vueltas voy
Adicto a los entumecidos viviendo en el frío
Cuanto más alto, más bajo, más abajo, más abajo, más abajo
Harto de estar cansado y enfermo
De esperar otro tipo de solución
El daño me está condenando abajo, abajo, abajo
Mi corazon late mas rapido
Se lo que estoy buscando
He estado parado aquí toda mi vida
Todo lo que he visto dos veces
Ahora es el momento de darme cuenta
Está dando vueltas ahora
En este camino me arrastro
Sálvame porque me estoy cayendo
Ahora parece que no puedo respirar bien
Porque sigo corriendo, corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Corriendo, corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Corriendo desde mi corazón
Whoa, estoy cobrando vida
Whoa, me despertaré ahora y viviré
Whoa, estoy cobrando vida
Una vida que siempre ha sido un sueño
Me despertaré ahora y viviré
He estado parado aquí toda mi vida
Mi corazon late mas rapido
Se lo que estoy buscando
He estado parado aquí toda mi vida
Todo lo que he visto dos veces
Ahora es el momento de darme cuenta
Está dando vueltas ahora
En este camino me arrastro
Sálvame porque me estoy cayendo
Ahora parece que no puedo respirar bien
Porque sigo corriendo, corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Corriendo, corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Corriendo desde mi corazón
Porque sigo corriendo corriendo corriendo
Corriendo, corriendo, corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Corriendo desde mi corazón 😙🤫

My heart's beating faster
I know what I'm after
I've been standing here my whole life
Everything I've seen twice
Now it's time I realize
It's spinning back around now
On this road I'm crawling
Save me 'cause I'm falling
Now I can't seem to breath right
Cause I keep
Running
running
running
running
running
running
running
running

Running from my heart

For some reason, this chorus hits the hardest in this song. And I feel like I can relate to this so much it's scary.

Lyrics :
Steel to my tremblin' lips
How did the night ever get like this?
One-shot and the whiskey goes down, down, down
Bottom of the bottle hits
Waking up my mind as I throw a fit
The breakin' is takin' me down, down, down
My heart's beating faster
I know what I'm after
I've been standing here my whole life
Everything I've seen twice
Now it's time I realized
It's spinning back around now
On this road, I'm crawlin'
Save me 'cause I'm fallin'
Now I can't seem to breathe right
'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' from my heart
'Round and round I go
Addicted to the numb livin' in the cold
The higher, the lower, the down, down, down
Sick of being tired and sick
And ready for another kind of fix
The damage is damning me down, down, down
My heart's beating faster
I know what I'm after
I've been standing here my whole life
Everything I've seen twice
Now it's time I realized
It's spinning back around now
On this road, I'm crawlin'
Save me 'cause I'm fallin'
Now I can't seem to breathe right
'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' from my heart
Oh, I'm coming alive
Oh, I'll wake up now and live
Oh, I'm coming alive
A life that's always been a dream
I'll wake up now and live
I've been standing here my whole life
My heart's beating faster
I know what I'm after
I've been standing here my whole life
Everything I've seen twice
Now it's time I realized
It's spinning back around now
On this road, I'm crawlin'
Save me 'cause I'm fallin'
Now I can't seem to breathe right
'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' from my heart
'Cause I keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'
Runnin' from my heart



東城つかさ推しの渚

Steel to my trembling lips
震える唇に 気を引き締める

How did the night ever get like this?
夜はこんな感じだったのか?

One shot and the whiskey goes down, down, down
一回飲めば ウイスキーは減っていく

Bottom of the bottle hits
ボトルの底が尽きた

Waking up my mind as I throw a fit
イライラしているときに 決意をした

The breaking is taking me down, down, down
破壊が俺を打ち負かす


My heart's beating faster, I know what I'm after
心臓が速く鼓動する 自分が何を求めているのかは分かっている

I've been standing here my whole life
俺はずっとここに立っていた

Everything I've seen twice, now it's time I realize
俺が二回見たもの 今気づくときだ

It's spinning back around now, on this road I'm crawling
目を回しながら戻ってきた 俺は道の上で這っている

Save me cause I'm falling, now I can't seem to breathe right
助けてくれ 俺は落ちているから 今 呼吸さえもできない

'Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
俺は逃げ続けているから

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
逃げているんだ

Runnin' from my heart
自分の心から逃げているんだ

Round and around I'd go, addicted to the numb
行ったり来たりして 麻痺することに夢中になってしまった

Living in the cold
寒さの中で生きている

The higher, the lower the down, down, down
上がったり 下がったり

Sick of being tired and sick of waiting
疲れて待っているのはうんざりだ

For another kind of fix
別のものを治すために

The damage is damning me down, down, down
このダメージが俺を地獄に落とす



My heart's beating faster, I know what I'm after
心臓が速く鼓動する 自分が何を求めているのかは分かっている

I've been standing here my whole life
俺はずっとここに立っていた

Everything I've seen twice, now it's time I realize
俺が二回見たもの 今気づくときだ

It's spinning back around now, on this road I'm crawling
目を回しながら戻ってきた 俺は道の上で這っている

Save me cause I'm falling, now I can't seem to breathe right
助けてくれ 俺は落ちているから 今 呼吸さえもできない

'Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
俺は逃げ続けているから

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
逃げているんだ

Runnin' from my heart
自分の心から逃げているんだ

I'm coming alive
俺は生きている

Wake up now and live oh!
今 目覚めたんだ 生きている

I'm coming alive
俺は生きている

A life that's always been a dream
ずっと夢を見ていた人生

Wake up now and live, oh!
今 目覚めたんだ 生きている

I've been standing here my whole life
俺はずっとここに立っていた

My heart's beating faster, I know what I'm after
心臓が速く鼓動する 自分が何を求めているのかは分かっている

I've been standing here my whole life
俺はずっとここに立っていた

Everything I've seen twice, now it's time I realize
俺が二回見たもの 今気づくときだ

It's spinning back around now, on this road I'm crawling
目を回しながら戻ってきた 俺は道の上で這っている

Save me cause I'm falling, now I can't seem to breathe right
助けてくれ 俺は落ちているから 今 呼吸さえもできない

'Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
俺は逃げ続けているから

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
逃げているんだ

Runnin' from my heart
自分の心から逃げているんだ
