Run Away
Fabian Secon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would walk on my own through the damn hallway
Never did fit in that′s what they would say
Growing up used to stare at the big TV
All the kids they'd be happy they′re so lucky
Wish it could be me
Wishing that I'd be free
So im packing my things
Gotta find a place safe, to call home
Haven't got anything
Guess it sucks to me
What a wonderful day, ahh oh
Run away very far
Till you can′t carry on
Let the stars guide you on
There is love for you all
Run away very far
Till you can′t carry on
Let the stars guide you on
There is love for you all
The lyrics of Fabian Secon's song "Run Away" speaks of a feeling of not belonging and the desire to escape in order to find a place to call home. The first verse sets the tone for the song as the artist reminisces about his troubled childhood, specifically the difficulty he had fitting in at school. He describes how he would walk through the hallways alone, feeling out of place and unheard. Secon then goes on to describe how he would sit in front of the TV and watch other kids who appeared happy and lucky, longing for that kind of life, and wishing to be free.
In the chorus, Secon expresses the desperation to run away, to find a safe place to call home, away from his troubles. The repetition of the line "run away very far till you can't carry on" underscores the urgency and the need to escape his situation. The bridge offers a message of hope, that there is love out there for everyone, and reminds the listener that no matter how impossible the situation may seem, there is always a possibility for change.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal human desire to find a place to belong, to be heard, understood, and loved. The longing for home, for safety, and for love is something that we all experience at some point in our lives.
