The final Real McCoy album One More Time was released in 1997. Wind produced the album without Hassas' involvement. After Petersen's departure from the group, singer Lisa Cork was recruited into the act by American songwriter/producer Brent Argovitz. Since Kasar was not involved in recording vocals for the album, Cork and Mason sang vocals on the album instead. Jeglitza and Argovitz also worked together as songwriters for the production. The lead single (also titled One More Time) achieved major commercial success in Canada and Australia, but the commercial sales of the album itself worldwide in comparison to Another Night were considered a disappointment. The failure of the album ultimately caused the quick demise of the group's lineup in 1997.
In 1999, an new version of the group's 1990 hit "It's On You" and a new single "Hey Now" was released with an all new group lineup. Both singles failed commercially resulting in the production team permanently breaking up. In the years after the breakup, Jeglitza continued to release new independent singles under the name Real McCoy without Wind or Hassas' involvement.
Run Away
M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Run away, run away, run away if you want to survive
It's time to break free, oh oh oh oh, run away, oh oh oh oh
You better break free, oh oh oh oh, run away, oh oh oh oh
Money, sex in full control, a generation without soul
Perfect people in a perfect world,
Behind closed doors all in control
Cold cash money mentality
You gotta keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith
You'd better keep the faith and run away
Money, sex in full control, look, big brother is watching you,
Unlock your brain and save your soul,
No more limits, no more curfew
Life in the perfect system,
Take a stand and fight for freedom
Keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith
You'd better keep the faith and run away
The lyrics of M.C. Sar's song "Run Away" is a cautionary tale, encouraging people to break free from the chains of societal expectations, particularly those of materialism and a conformity that suppresses individuality. The lyrics style a world controlled completely by money and sex, where people who are "perfect" adhere to the same predetermined standard- all behind closed doors. The song invites listeners to break free from these bindings, encouraging them that the "perfect system" is killing their individuality and taking away their freedom.
The lyrics talk about keeping the faith, which is about continuing to believe in oneself even in the face of repression. It's a call-to-action that speaks of the importance of taking ownership of oneself, of not being controlled by cultural expectations, and ultimately, of the liberation that comes with being true to oneself. The song encourages people to run away from the expectations and beliefs that are stopping them from becoming their authentic selves.
