Run Away
Drawn From Bees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got no place for your insanity
I have no need for all your sympathies

My Saturday morning paper tells me
That I should run away

So here we are in this vicinity
There is no need for such obsymetry

My Saturday morning paper tells me

That I should run away

I've been waiting on the other side
I'm gonna meet you on the other side




I've been waiting on the outside
I'm gonna see you on the outside

Overall Meaning

In Drawn From Bees' song "Run Away," the lyrics suggest that the singer is dealing with someone who is causing them distress or possibly even going insane. The singer has no desire to indulge in the other person's sympathies or delusions. Rather, they want to escape from the situation. The singer is influenced by a newspaper article they read on a Saturday morning that advises them to run away. The lyrics repeat the line "my Saturday morning paper tells me that I should run away" multiple times, emphasizing the idea that the singer needs to take action and leave the troubled individual behind.


The second verse of the song seems to convey that the individuals are physically close to each other ("here we are in this vicinity"), but that there is a disconnect between them due to the other person's "obsymetry" (possibly a misspelling of "asymmetry" or a made-up word meaning something like imbalance). Despite their proximity, the singer wants to distance themselves and escape the situation.


The song's refrain, "I've been waiting on the other side / I'm gonna meet you on the other side / I've been waiting on the outside / I'm gonna see you on the outside," suggests that the singer is ready to move on from the situation and move forward with their life. The use of the words "other side" and "outside" imply that the singer sees the situation as a hurdle to overcome in order to reach a better place.


Overall, "Run Away" is a song that seems to be about the need to escape a toxic or unpleasant situation in order to find a better path forward.

Drawn from Bees launch their album, "The May King and His Paper Crown" at a very special show at the Brisbane Powerhouse on Thursday 25th October. Tickets are available from The Brisbane Powerhouse website. The launch will see the band being joined by a mini-orchestra, two narrators alongside a projections and lighting show. The May King and His Paper Crown is about unrequited love and the loss of innocence; a record that delves into love, loss, murder and betrayal.
