Run
Air Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holy girl
Don't get up
For running

Stay with me
I feel sad
When you run
Sands of time
Are lying
On my chest

Stay in bed
I feel sad
When you run

Stay like this
On the hills
Of my chest

Don't wake up
I feel strange
When you go

Stop the night
Hold me tight
Holy girl

Don't stand up




I feel strange
When you go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Air's song "Run" portray a sense of longing and sadness when the singer begs the Holy girl not to go but to stay with him. The song starts with a plea to the Holy girl to not get up and run, with the singer asking her to stay with him because he feels sad when she runs. The second verse talks about the Sands of time that are lying on his chest, implying that he wants to lay down with her and not let time pass them by.
The third and fourth verse describe the singer's desire for the Holy girl to stay with him, not to wake up and to stay on the hills of his chest. It is clear from these lyrics that the singer finds a sense of comfort, perhaps almost a refuge when the Holy girl is around.
The last verse talks about the singer's yearning to hold the Holy girl tight and stop the night from coming. The repetition of the lyrics 'Holy girl don't stand up, I feel strange when you goโ€™ in both the beginning and the end of the song shows how much the singer does not want to be without her. In conclusion, the song portrays a sense of longing for something, or maybe someone, that the singer cannot live without.
