After several great acoustic live performances at the west coast of Norway, the charming duo has got themselves into the "first division" of the Norwegian music scene, eager to take the step into the "premier league".
Elsa & Emilie write songs about growing up in a small windy city, about helpless and hopeless love and about the dark sides of being young. During the last year their sound has developed into a greater dimension, a Nordic, icy and dark, yet poppy sound.
Run
Elsa & Emilie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we're alive, but we're not alright
and now our thoughts are running wild
Sorrow
hollow
is what we feel when we're alone
but we won't be headed home
we'll seperate day by day
'cause we are far too young
to mess it up of had enough
constantly on the run
but we are not getting home
won't you carry me won't you carry me
out of the darkness
won't you carry me won't you carry me
out of the cold
won't you carry me won't you carry me
out of the darkness
won't you carry me won't you carry me
out of the home
sad face what a waste
no one ever left a trace of the sour bitter taste
watching driving passing by feeling alive
like you never change you mind
but we are not getting home
wont you carry me wont you carry me out of the darkness
wont you carry me wont you carry me out of the cold
wont you carry me wont you carry me out of the darkness
wont you carry me wont you carry me out of the home
run x15
wont you carry me wont you carry me out of the darkness
wont you carry me wont you carry me out of the cold
wont you carry me wont you carry me out of the darkness
wont you carry me wont you carry me out of the home
The lyrics of Elsa & Emilie's song "Run" portray a sense of loneliness and despair. The song describes the feeling of being alive, yet not feeling alright. The opening lines set the tone for the song - the streetlights illuminate the surroundings, and the world is still bustling with activity, but the characters in the song feel sorrow and hollowness. Even when they are alone, their thoughts still overwhelm them, and they feel lost and directionless.
The characters in the song are constantly moving, and they seem to be running away from something - maybe their problems, their past, or even themselves. It's as though they are on a journey, but they cannot go back home. They wish someone would carry them out of their sorrow and darkness, but they are seemingly alone. The song's repeated plea to be carried out of the darkness and cold emphasizes the feeling of despair and the need for someone to help them out of their predicament.
The use of the word "run" throughout the song could imply running away from problems, but it could also signify running towards freedom, towards a brighter future. The song leaves the interpretation up to the listener, but ultimately, it conveys a sense of hopelessness and yearning for a better life.

Traduzione Fra
Luci della strada, tutta la notte,
noi siamo vivi, ma non stiamo bene,
e adesso i nostri pensieri stanno correndo selvaggi.
Dolore, vuoto.
È quello che sentiamo quando siamo soli.
Ma non saremo diretti verso casa.
Ci separeremo giorno dopo giorno,
ma non continueremo perché siamo troppo giovani per rovinarlo.
Ne ho avuto abbastanza,
costantemente in fuga,
ma non stiamo tornando a casa
Non mi porterai fuori dall'oscurità?
Non mi porterai fuori dal freddo? (x2)
Non mi portare a casa/non mi portare fuori casa (non ho ben capito scus)
Faccia triste che spreco,
nessuno ha mai lasciato una traccia del sapore amaro
Guardare e guidare passano per il "sentirsi vivi".
Come se non avessi mai cambiato idea
