Born To Run
Kos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's that coming round suffering popularity breakdown?
I guess it's funny that, that I got stopped when I'm walking the streets
Walkin down streets
Walkin down paths, with the kids in the back way
I say "If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter" (woo hoo)
"If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter" (yeah)
I was runnin around with my head in the sand
But she told me before, baby, do your own dance
Stay off the highway
That doesn't mean you were born to run
Either we're brave or we're broken hearted
We don't believe there's a home above
That's why we're back to the place where we started
That doesn't mean you were born to run
Either we're brave or we're broken hearted
Sure as the stars in the sky above
We're going back to the place that we started
We fell from the sky in the universe
When we fell in love with the sound
Of the birds and all the ocean lights
And the gravity pulling us down
Time won't let you go
There are some things you'll never know
I'm hoping that she walks through the door
I'm going...
If the sky would fall would it take that to bring us together?
Do we have to start all over again?
That doesn't mean you were born to run
Either we're brave or we're broken hearted
We don't believe there's a home above
That's why we're back to the place where we started
That doesn't mean you were born to run
Either we're brave or we're broken hearted
Sure as the stars in the sky above
We're going back to the place that we started
Born to run, until we fell 4x
My heart, creep show, some old thing on the radio.
Who's that coming round suffering popularity breakdown?
I guess it's funny that, that I got stopped when I'm walking the streets
Walkin down streets
Walkin down paths, with the kids in the back way
I say "If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter"
"If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter"
I was running around with my head in the sand
Looking for people and a new fan
But she told me before, baby, do your own dance
Stay off the highway
In Kos's song "Born to Run," the lyrics are a contemplation of finding oneself and one's purpose. The reference to "creep show" and "some old thing on the radio" speaks to the feeling of being lost or out of place. The line "Who's that coming round suffering popularity breakdown?" suggests that the singer is aware of the fleeting nature of fame and recognizes the pressure to maintain a certain level of popularity. The singer then acknowledges the irony of being stopped while walking down the streets, implying that even with fame, one's life can be interrupted by unexpected events.
The chorus of "That doesn't mean you were born to run" suggests that the pressures and expectations placed upon the singer do not necessarily define them or their true purpose. The lines "Either we're brave or we're brokenhearted" speaks to the idea that even though life can be difficult and unpredictable, one must remain resilient and strong. The line "We don't believe there's a home above / That's why we're back to the place where we started" speaks to the idea of returning to one's origins and roots, which provide a sense of comfort and familiarity.
The second verse references falling in love with the sound of nature and the pull of gravity, which suggests a connection to the earth and a desire to feel grounded. The line "Time won't let you go / There are some things you'll never know" acknowledges the limits of human understanding and the inevitability of time passing. The repeated refrain "If you can't dance to this it doesn't matter" suggests a carefree attitude and a sense of resilience in the face of adversity.

Great and underrated song!
@DarylFaulkner
I worked this album for EMI and really campaigned for this song to be a single. We had trouble making an edit for radio but it's a hit - i stand by it.
