Running
Andras Kallay Saunders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This pain will never even lie
Daddy's home, so she tries to hide
She calls her mom, but never a reply
She cries, cries, cries
She's all alone
Daddy why, why, why, leave me alone
She calls for help, but no one seems to care,
She calls for help but no one seems to care.
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life
She keeps on running, running, running, never sees the light
I can see the angels standing by your side
It'll be alright
He's back again, just one more time
Just wants to see her mother smile
She can't forget her only child
Mama, let the devil in the house
She cries, cries, cries
She's all alone
Daddy why, why, why, leave me alone
She calls for help,
She calls for help, but no one seems to care,
She calls for help but no one seems to care.
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life
She keeps on running, running, running, never sees the light
I can see the angels standing by your side
It'll be alright
She keeps on running, running, running from this crazy life
She keeps on running, running, running, never sees the light
The song "Running" by Andras Kallay Saunders explores the pain and struggle of a young girl dealing with abuse and neglect from her father. The opening lines depict the girl's silent cries every night, as she deals with the pain that will never leave. When her father comes home, she hides from him and tries to call her mother for help, but she never responds. The girl is left all alone, crying and asking her father why he is leaving her alone.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the girl is running from her troubled life, but she never sees the light. She keeps on running, hoping to escape her painful and crazy life, but each turn just leads to more darkness. The chorus repeats this message, emphasizing the girl's desperate need for help and guidance, which fall on deaf ears.
Towards the end of the song, the singer sees angels standing by the girl's side and reassures her that everything will be alright. However, the final line of the song repeats the girl's mantra of running without finding the light, indicating that the struggle is far from over.
Overall, "Running" is a powerful and emotional song that explores the trauma of abuse and neglect. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the girl's struggles and the endless running that she does to try and escape the darkness that surrounds her.

This song came 5th, which is Hungary's second-best result ever (their 4th-placing 1994 debut is still their most successful). Hungary was also in the lead up until Conchita overtook them.
