Runaway
Amber Pacific Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't save this for tonight
I can't give you the reason, the truth, or the light
But I will keep you in my sight
I can't say that I'm scared as this pain sets me free
I have lived without love, without all that I need
See the marks that I bare, and the shame that runs deep
I can't understand this at all
Runaway from this life
Is so far from the things that I know (Won't let go)
Get away from this fight, I don't want to give in or let go
I won't let go
I can't say that I'm proud, as this pain spreads through me
I have said my last words, I have thrown out the keys
I get back to despair, as my eyes fall asleep
Now our dreams come to ends, I am so incomplete and
I can't comprehend this at all
Runaway from this life
Is so far from the things that I know (That I know)
Get away from this fight, I don't want to give in or let go
I won't let go
I can't give you the reason, the truth, or the light
But I will keep you in my sight
Runaway from this life
Is so far from the things that I know
Get away from this fight, I don't want to give in or let go
Runaway from this life
Is so far from the things that I know (Won't let go)
Get away from this fight, I don't want to give in or let go
I won't let go
The lyrics of Amber Pacific's song "Runaway" convey a sense of pain, heartbreak, and the desire to escape. The opening line "I can't give you the moment, the chance to be right" suggests that the singer is unable to provide what their partner needs to make the relationship work. They then go on to express their own feelings of inadequacy, as they have lived without love and all that they need. The marks and shame they bear allude to past emotional or physical wounds that they have endured.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about their desire to escape from this painful situation. The repeated line "Runaway from this life" suggests that they want to leave everything behind and start anew. They don't want to give in or let go, which could mean that they don't want to give up on the relationship, or that they don't want to fall into the same patterns that have brought them pain in the past. The final repetition of "I won't let go" reinforces this determination to hold on and make things work.
Overall, "Runaway" is a poignant and emotional song that explores complex themes of love, pain, and self-doubt. It speaks to the human desire for escape and transformation in the face of difficult circumstances.
