Runaway
Boomkat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I've been afraid
Something's going right inside of my brain
And it's getting hard to explain
But I see everything

I've been fighting all of my life
Always seem to put my heart on the line
And it's a lonely road I climb
When I see everything

And when I feel it coming
I run into the shadows
I'm trying to fake it
Fake it till I make it
People try and save me
I just wanna runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway
I runaway

You see we're born with light in our hearts
And people come around and tear us apart
And when my whole world turns to dark
I can't see anything
I can't see anything

And when I feel it coming

I run into the shadows
I'm trying to fake it
Fake it till I make it
People try and save me
I just wanna runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway

I want to fit inside a world
Where I could be queen of all the dark inside
So I would never have to see the light
And I would never have to run

I just wanna runaway
Runaway oh oh oh
Runaway
I just keep running
Runaway oh oh oh
I just wanna runaway
I just wanna run
Runaway, runaway
I just wanna, I just wanna




Runaway
I runaway

Lately I've been afraid
Recently, I have been experiencing fear


Something's going right inside of my brain
Something positive is happening to me internally


And it's getting hard to explain
But I am struggling to express this change


But I see everything
This change is making me more perceptive


I've been fighting all of my life
I have always struggled to succeed


Always seem to put my heart on the line
I tend to take risks with my emotions


And it's a lonely road I climb
It is a difficult journey that I am undertaking alone


When I see everything
Despite this, I am still observant


And when I feel it coming
When I sense a change coming


I run into the shadows
I tend to avoid confronting it directly


I'm trying to fake it
I am attempting to act as though everything is okay


Fake it till I make it
By pretending, I hope to eventually believe it


People try and save me
Others attempt to help me


I just wanna runaway
But ultimately, I want to escape


Runaway, runaway, runaway
I want to leave everything behind


You see we're born with light in our hearts
As humans, we are initially pure and positive


And people come around and tear us apart
But life experiences can damage us


And when my whole world turns to dark
When my life is dismal


I can't see anything
It can be difficult to find hope


I want to fit inside a world
I yearn to conform to society's expectations


Where I could be queen of all the dark inside
Where I can rule over my own inner turmoil


So I would never have to see the light
So I can avoid facing my problems


And I would never have to run
And not feel the need to escape it all


Runaway oh oh oh
Expressing a desire for escape


I just keep running
I cannot stop trying to escape


I just wanna run
All I want is to escape


Runaway, runaway
Leaving everything behind


I just wanna, I just wanna
These thoughts consume me


Runaway
Escape is my only desire


I runaway
I am already escaping
