On the Run
K-Otic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's roll the dice again
The voice of reason in my head
It says, "Just let it go
You've got it coming my friend"
They say I jumped, I got pushed
There's no way out 'til I've found you
We're on the run again
Driving around like it's all we're living for
We ride like the wind again
And we fly, alright

You don't have to stay awake
You touch my life, you're home to me
I'll be there in your hour of need
Since I've heard 'em call your name
It triggered something in my mind
And it's been there all the time

We're on the run again
Driving around like it's all we're living for
We ride like the wind again
The wide open blue skies all we've been looking for

Tonight we're guided by the stars up in the sky
Tonight

We ride like the wind again
The wide open blue skies all we've been looking for




You touch my life, you're home to me
I'll be there in your hour of need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to K-Otic’s song “On The Run” are reflective of a moment of reckoning where the singer is urged to make a decision. The voice of reason in the singer's head advises them to let go and move on. However, they cannot do so until they find the person who supposedly pushed them. The lyrics may suggest that the singer is in some sort of trouble or on the run. They are continuously driving around, searching for the person responsible for their predicament. Despite the urgency of their mission, they find solace in the company of their loved one.


The lyrics build up to a climax where the singer has a realization that their mission hasn't been about finding the person responsible, but about their need to be with their loved one. The phrase “…And it's been there all the time” at the end of the second verse suggests that the singer might have known this all along, but only now acknowledges it. The track is fast-paced, with a powerful guitar riff and heavy percussion. The song's lyrics, combined with the intense music, drive home the idea of running into danger for the one you love.


Line by Line Meaning

Let's roll the dice again
We're taking another chance


The voice of reason in my head
My thoughts are telling me what to do


It says, "Just let it go
Forget about the past


You've got it coming my friend"
You deserve what's coming to you


They say I jumped, I got pushed
People are accusing me of something I didn't do


There's no way out 'til I've found you
I won't stop until I find you


We're on the run again
We're evading trouble


Driving around like it's all we're living for
Trying to escape reality


We ride like the wind again
We speed through life


And we fly, alright
We feel liberated


You don't have to stay awake
You can relax and rest


You touch my life, you're home to me
You make me feel complete


I'll be there in your hour of need
I'll support you when you need me


Since I've heard 'em call your name
Something inside me changed when I heard your name


It triggered something in my mind
It sparked a memory


And it's been there all the time
I've been thinking about it for a while


The wide open blue skies all we've been looking for
Freedom and adventure are what we crave


Tonight we're guided by the stars up in the sky
We feel hopeful and inspired
