running away
Droeloe & Taska Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Illuminate what's left behind
My feet barely touch the ground
Barely make a sound
Can't stop running away
Can't stop running away
Running away
I need to run
I need to run until I can't breathe
Steal the air
Out of my lungs
Speed my own feet
I can see from a distance
I can see from a distance
I can see from a distance
I can see from a distance
Can't stop running away
Running, running, running away
Running, running, running away
The song "Running Away" by Droeloe and Taska Black talks about a person who needs to escape from something that is troubling them. The opening line, "Running with the speed of light," suggests that the person is in a hurry to flee quickly. The person seems to be in a state of desperation, and they need to leave whatever is bothering them behind. The line, "Illuminate what's left behind," seems to suggest that whatever is behind them is something they want to forget or ignore. The person feels like they are in a race, and they must keep running, indicating that they are not sure if running away will solve their problems or not.
The second set of lines in the chorus, "My feet barely touch the ground, barely make a sound," could suggest that the person is afraid of being followed or caught. They are making an effort to avoid being noticed or heard. The repetition of "Can't stop running away" emphasizes the need to escape and the inability to stand still.
The bridge shows the desperation of the person even more. "I need to run until I can't breathe, steal the air out of my lungs, speed my own feet," is a drastic measure that the person needs to take to run away. The lines mean that the person needs to run until they have no energy left, and they breathe heavily because they are worn out. The phrase, "I can see from a distance," on the other hand, suggests that the person is seeking a way out or a solution to their problems.
