Runaway
Adrian Daniel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I spend my whole life, searching for your soul.
and I should beware the signs of eternity
I lose my mind reaching for your love
runway runaway runaway don't you turn back
live again live again another day there's no Turing back.
this one I Sware One day you might lose it all.
The lyrics of Adrian Daniel's song "Runaway" are a poetic expression of the singer's desperate attempts to find love and avoid wasting time. The opening line, "can't waste time, without wounding eternity," is a powerful statement that highlights the value of time and the sorrow that comes with it when it is lost. The next line, "I spend my whole life, searching for your soul," suggests that the singer has been seeking love for a long time and has not found it yet.
The next line, "and I should beware the signs of eternity," is a reminder that time is finite and should not be squandered. The singer acknowledges that his obsession with finding love may be a futile pursuit, indicated by the line "I lose my mind reaching for your love." However, he cannot stop himself from pursuing love, which is evident in the repeated refrain of "runaway, runaway, runaway, don't you turn back."
The chorus of the song is anthemic and serves as a rallying cry for the singer to live life to the fullest and not hold back. The line "live again, live again, another day there's no turning back" is a call to action that emphasizes the importance of living in the present and not dwelling on the past. The final line, "this one I swear, one day you might lose it all" is a cautionary reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing it.
