Run
Eklipse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives




I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Line by Line Meaning

I'll sing it one last time for you
I'll sing this song for you for the final time before we have to leave


Then we really have to go
After this song, we must leave


You've been the only thing that's right
Out of everything I've experienced, you are the only thing that felt right


In all I've done
Throughout all of my experiences


And I can barely look at you
It's hard for me to maintain eye contact with you


But every single time I do
But whenever I do manage to look at you


I know we'll make it anywhere
I am sure that we can succeed no matter where we go


Away from here
As long as we're no longer here


Light up, light up
Shine bright, glow


As if you have a choice
As if you have any say in the matter


Even if you cannot hear my voice
Even if you are deaf to my words


I'll be right beside you, dear
I'll be with you, my love


To think I might not see those eyes
It's upsetting to think I may never see your eyes again


Makes it so hard not to cry
This thought is making it difficult for me to hold back tears


And as we say our long goodbyes
As we bid farewell to each other for a long time


I nearly do
I almost cry


Louder, louder
Speak or sing more loudly


And we'll run for our lives
We'll run for safety and to save our lives


I can hardly speak, I understand
I am struggling to talk, but I comprehend


Why you can't raise your voice to say
I understand why you can't speak up and say what you want
