Run Away
Elusive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She moves between light and shadow,
Drawn towards, drawn to the stars, drawn to the stars.
In fire, untamed,
Blood rushing, it's all so strange, it's all so strange.

Run away, run away.
She keeps moving.
Run away, run away.
She keeps moving.

She's coming closer.
How can I resist you?
She's coming closer now.
How can I resist you?

Through night and day
I will wait, look through the stars, look through the stars.
One mind, deranged.
I can't break the chain:
It's all too late, it's all too late.

Run away, run away.
She keeps moving.
Run away, run away.
She keeps moving,
She keeps moving,
She keeps moving.
Run away,
Run away.

Run away, run away.
She keeps moving.
Run away, run away.
She keeps moving.

Run away, run away.
She keeps moving.
Run away, run away.
She keeps moving.
Run away,
Run away,
Run away,
Run away,
Run away,
Run away,
Run away,




Run away,
Run away.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elusive's song Run away speak about a woman who is constantly moving and drawn towards the stars, like she is unable to stay still. She seems to be a free spirit, wild and untamed, full of passion and energy, as suggested by the line "in fire, untamed, blood rushing, it's all so strange." Despite her intensity, she is elusive and mysterious, as she moves "between light and shadow," making it hard for anyone to catch her.


The singer confesses his attraction to her and how he is unable to resist her. He mentions waiting for her, even during the night, looking through the stars, as if he is mesmerized by her. However, he also acknowledges that her mind seems to be deranged, and they have a connection, but it's too late for him to break away.


The song's lyrics take the listener on an emotional journey, as they portray a feeling of resignation and acceptance, mixed with longing and a sense of powerlessness when confronted with the woman's allure. The repetition of the phrase "run away" creates a sense of urgency and despair, as if the singer is trying to convince himself to keep his distance, but unable to do so.
