Can't Keep Running Away
Eyeshine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the thoughts you can share with one look
Everyone is waiting patiently for something
What do you have to say for yourself?
What is it this time? or what is it this time?
Can you tell me what you're feeling (Tell me what you're feeling)
And all of life is going poorly
And you know you just might crack
You can't keep running away
It's gonna catch up some day
Don't be this way (Don't be this way)
Don't be this way
No, you can't keep running away
It's gonna catch up some day
Don't be this way (Don't be this way)
Don't be this way
All your lies you've been baiting me to hook
Into the twisted vein of something different
Where do you have to go from here?
How could you do it? Oh, how could you do it?
Can you tell me what you're feeling (What you're feeling)
As the sun is at your back (Sun is at your back)
And all of life is going poorly
And you know you just might crack
You can't keep running away
It's gonna catch up some day
Don't be this way (Don't be this way)
Don't be this way
No, you can't keep running away
It's gonna catch up some day
Don't be this way (Don't be this way)
Don't be this way
Your prayers made of plastic (Made of plastic)
Melted by the flames (Melted by the flames)
And you're hoping that your wisdom will not drain into the rain
You're so wrong (You're so wrong)
You're so wrong (You're so wrong)
Don't let your light die out
You can turn it all around (Turn it all around)
Don't let your light die out
You can turn it all around
Around
Can't keep running away
It's gonna catch up some day
Don't be this way (Don't be this way)
Don't be this way
No, you can't keep running away
It's gonna catch up some day
Don't be this way (Don't be this way)
Don't be this way
Come on, come on, come on, don't do it
Hold on, hold on, your pain, I see right through it
The black is falling down from your eyes tonight
The black is falling down from your eyes tonight
Don't be this way (Don't be this way)
Don't be this way
The song "Can't Keep Running Away" by Eyeshine echoes the message of facing one's problems instead of avoiding them. The chorus of the song emphasizes that running away from issues would not help much in the long run. The opening lines depict the feeling of being lost and unable to express oneself. There's a sense of urgency with the repetition of "What is it this time?" indicating that the person trying to escape has made similar mistakes in the past.
The second stanza expands on the issue of escaping, and how it's not helping. The lyrics ask for the reason behind the running and implore the person not to crack under the pressure of life's problems. The third stanza is about losing faith and feeling like everything is falling apart. The metaphor of "prayers made of plastic melted by the flames" suggests that the person is facing a crisis of faith, and the rain might drain out their wisdom.
The bridge urges the person not to let their light die out and to turn everything around. It's a call-to-action to not keep running and face their demons. The repetition of the phrase "don't be this way," in the chorus, emphasizes the importance of not running away and instead facing their problems.

All the thoughts you can share with one look
You have a lot to say without saying a word
Everyone is waiting patiently for something
People expect something from you, they're just not sure what
What do you have to say for yourself?
Account for your actions and explain yourself
What is it this time? or what is it this time?
Why should we believe you this time when you've let us down before?
Can you tell me what you're feeling (Tell me what you're feeling)
Express your emotions to me
As the sun is at your back (Sun is at your back)
In the midst of hard times
And all of life is going poorly
When everything seems to be falling apart
And you know you just might crack
And you're on the edge of losing it
You can't keep running away
You can't keep avoiding your problems
It's gonna catch up some day
These problems will eventually catch up to you
All your lies you've been baiting me to hook
You've been trying to manipulate me with your lies
Into the twisted vein of something different
Into an unpredictable, deceptive situation
Where do you have to go from here?
What's your next step after being caught in a web of lies?
How could you do it? Oh, how could you do it?
How could you deceive me like that?
Your prayers made of plastic (Made of plastic)
Your prayers are insincere and superficial
Melted by the flames (Melted by the flames)
They cannot stand the test of hardship
And you're hoping that your wisdom will not drain into the rain
You're afraid your knowledge will be futile in the face of adversity
You're so wrong (You're so wrong)
You're mistaken in your approach
Don't let your light die out
Don't let your positive energy fade away
You can turn it all around (Turn it all around)
You have the power to change your situation
Come on, come on, come on, don't do it
Don't give up or give in
Hold on, hold on, your pain, I see right through it
I understand that you're hurting
The black is falling down from your eyes tonight
You're finally seeing the truth
Don't be this way (Don't be this way)
Don't continue to be dishonest and deceptive
