Run for Cover
Conjure One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The wind it cries familiar songs
And now it's time to put on the armor
. . . it's the calm before . . .

It came to me in a dream

No warning signs
Time to decide on a flight
A new destination
I feel it coming . . .

It came to me in a dream

Take your lover
Run for cover
The thunder's rolling in
Take your lover
Run for cover
The tides are crashing in

It came to me in a dream

The wind it cries familiar songs
And now it's time
A new destination
I feel it coming

Take your lover
Run for cover
The thunder's rolling in
Take your lover
Run for cover
The tides are crashing in

It came to me in a dream
(The thunder's rolling in)
Take your lover
Run for cover
The tides are crashing in

It came to me in a dream

Take your lover
Run for cover
The tides are crashing in

Hold on tight the tides will take it
Don't be frightened, pleasant changes

It came to me in a dream

The wind it cries familiar songs
Leave it all behind
The burden gone





It came to me in a dream

Overall Meaning

"Run For Cover" by Conjure One feat. Free Dominguez is a song that speaks about impending danger and the need to take action before it's too late. The lyrics depict a dream where the singer hears the wind cry familiar songs, which serves as a warning that something bad is about to happen. The calm before the storm is represented as the need to put on armor, and the dream forewarns of a choice that has to be made before it's too late. It's a message to take important decisions before the storm hits and to prepare for what's coming.


The chorus "Take your lover, run for cover, the thunder is rolling in, the tides are crashing in" speaks of the urgency to move to safer ground as a storm is approaching. The lyrics convey the sense of impending doom and the need to take action, not wait for things to happen. The end of the song has a positive twist, with the message that change can be pleasant, and letting go of the burden can bring relief.
