Runaway
Lil Peep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Away from here
Everybody so fake
Everybody so fake, I swear
Go back there

Take me, away from here
Everybody so fake
Everybody so fake, I swear
But I don't wanna go back there
Everybody so fake
Everybody act like they care
Take me, away from here
Everybody so fake
Everybody so fake, I swear
But I don't wanna go back there
Everybody so fake
Everybody act like they care
Everybody act like they care
Why the fuck do everybody act like they care?
I was dying and nobody was there
Please don't cry, baby, life ain't fair

I run away from my problems
I do the drugs when I want 'em
I ran away from my momma
Don't bother me with no drama
Now I'm looking for a ghost girl (Ghost girl)
I ain't never gonna find her (Find her)
Pain pills with my coke, girl (Coke, girl)
You know I gotta get high first (High first)
Now I'm looking for a ghost girl
I ain't never gonna find her
You were everything I know, girl
Ain't it funny how life work?

Take me, away from here
Everybody so fake
Everybody so fake, I swear
But I don't wanna go back there
Everybody so fake
Everybody act like they care
Take me, away from here
Everybody so fake
Everybody so fake, I swear
But I don't wanna go back there
Everybody so fake
Everybody act like they care
Everybody act like they care
Why the fuck do everybody act like they care?
I was dying and nobody was there
Please don't cry, baby, life ain't fair

I run away from my problems
I do the drugs when I wanna




I ran away from my momma
Don't bother me with no drama

Overall Meaning

LIL PEEP's song "Runaway" is a sad reflection on the feelings of being lost, lonely and not fitting in. The song is about his desire to escape from a world where everyone is fake, and no one genuinely cares about him. The lyrics speak to the sense of disillusionment that many people feel when they cannot find a sense of belonging in society. The song is a poignant repudiation of the superficiality and heartlessness of modern culture.


The opening lines, "Away from here, everybody so fake," capture LIL PEEP's desperate need to leave behind the superficiality and insincerity of the world he knows. He feels like an outcast who cannot find a place to belong. He describes how people pretend to care, but they don't really. He runs to escape his problems, to find solace in drugs and to avoid drama. The song is a plea for someone to take him away from this world, where no one truly understands him.


The chorus of the song, "Take me away from here, everybody so fake, everybody act like they care," expresses the singer's feelings of abandonment and neglect. He is looking for someone to care about him genuinely. The song illustrates how society's obsession with materialism and surface-level relationships can make people feel alone and hopeless. The lyrics are a warning about the importance of creating meaningful connections with the people around us.
