Running Away
You're about to blow, up a bubble
Step inside and flow off into your own world
Where no one else can be, and no one else can see
None of your dreams shut down by reality
But that ain't gonna solve the fears that you hold
But I thought that you should know, that even if you go
Shadows have the tendency to follow
So why you runnin' away?
Why you runnin' away?
Gotta stand up tall and try to take control
So pick your back up from off the wall
And try to make a change, cause yes you are brave
I want to educate that you don't need to run away
So don't you run away, cause you can escape
The ghosts'll haunt your mind when negativity stays
Unless you turn and face, and pick up the courage to say
That I ain't afraid of you no more
Why you runnin' away?
Runnin' away
Stop your runnin' from, and start runnin' to
A destination that is gonna help your life improve
You need to realize that runnin' all the time
Ain't gonna help you check out these things in life
You need to fight and stop a hidin'
Away from all, your troubles
Cause in time, sip or two, they'll be doubled
Then what you gonna do? Breathe twice as hard for you
And I assume the runnin' will continue
So why you runnin' away?
Why you runnin' away?
Why are you runnin' away?
Why you runnin' away?
Yes, you're runnin', you're runnin' away
Why you runnin' away?
The song "Running Away" by Ady Suleiman is an introspective exploration of the nature of anxiety, fear, and the decision to flee from one's problems as a means of escape. The opening verse describes the desire to create an imaginative world where the individual can escape from the pressures of reality. The lyrics suggest that such a way of coping is not sustainable, as shadows (anxiety and fear) will follow even into the imagined world. The chorus bluntly questions this behavior, asking "why you runnin' away?" repeatedly.
The second verse shifts in tone, encouraging the individual to face their problems and take control of their life. It suggests that running away will only make problems worse in the long run, and that it takes courage to stay and confront them. The repeated chorus continues to question this behavior, almost pleading with the listener to stay and face their troubles.
Overall, the song seems to suggest that while escapism may provide temporary relief, it ultimately isn't a sustainable solution. Facing one's problems head-on takes courage, but it is ultimately the only way to find true peace and happiness.
