Run and Hide
Gabriel Cyphre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Screaming, screaming but you cannot be heared
Oh the sun is gone away
oh it's just the 3 p.m.
Run, run, run
but there is no
Hide, hide, hide
Run and hide
but you will feel more pain
close your eyes
forsake yourself to the pain
Creepy, creepy, faceless ghost sees you
dreaming, dreaming, the nightmare is coming true
oh, your life is coming to an end
oh, are you already dead?
Run, run, run
but there is no
Hide, hide, hide
there is no way to escape
Run and hide
but you will feel more pain
close your eyes
forsake yourself to the pain
Tonight he wants to hold your soul
hold your soul, hold your soul
Tonight he wants to hold your soul
you will die forever more
Run, run, run
but there is no
Hide, hide, hide
there is no way to escape
Run and hide
but you will feel more pain
close your eyes
forsake yourself to the pain
In Gabriel Cyphre's song "Run and Hide," the lyrics paint a frightening picture of being pursued by an unknown entity, one that is faceless and unforgiving. The song speaks to feelings of fear and helplessness, as though there is no way to escape the inevitable torment.
The opening lines speak to a sense of impending distress - the idea that something bad is coming and cannot be avoided. The juxtaposition of the singer being awake while screaming but unheard, creates a sense of isolation and abandonment. The lines "oh the sun is gone away, oh it's just the 3 p.m." suggest that darkness is descending and there is no way to avoid it.
The repeated lines of "run and hide, but you will feel more pain" encapsulate the feeling of being trapped with no real escape. The idea that even in running, the fear continues to chase, creates a sense of hopelessness. The lyrics suggest that facing the fear and accepting the pain may be the only way to move forward.
Overall, "Run and Hide" is a hauntingly powerful song that speaks to the human experience of fear and vulnerability. It is an emotional journey that paints a vivid picture of someone being hunted, with no real hope of finding safety.
