Runaway Runaway
Mars Argo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eager words are making me an awful mess
You say you need me
We're running out of time
I guess I fear the fear of consequence
You say you'll leave me
But you'll be sorry
You make me want to scream
I wish I was a dumb pop star
So the words wouldn't matter to you
Am I living an illusion?
I want to runaway, runaway, runaway
I feel like I'm losing control
Maybe I should let myself go
'Cause this is so predictable
Is there something that I'm missing?
My walls are caving in
I can't hear what you are saying
I'm afraid of giving in
You are making me uneasy
You make me want to scream
I wish I was a dumb pop star
So the words wouldn't matter to you
Am I living an illusion?
I want to runaway, runaway, runaway
I feel like I'm losing control
Maybe I should let myself go
'Cause this is so predictable
I wanna runaway, runaway
Little time left to runaway
Every time I get somewhere
I wanna runaway runaway
I feel like I'm losing
I wanna runaway, runaway
Little time left to runaway
Every time I get somewhere
I wanna runaway runaway
I feel like I'm losing control
Maybe I should let myself go
'Cause this is so predictable
The lyrics of Mars Argo's song "Runaway Runaway" express the feeling of being trapped in a relationship that's deteriorating. The opening line, "Is there anybody listening?" sets the tone of someone feeling unheard and disconnected. The lyrics, "Eager words are making me an awful mess" suggest that the pressure and intensity of the situation are overwhelming and causing distress. The singer is torn between wanting to leave but also feeling fearful of the repercussions of doing so.
The lyrics, "I'm afraid of giving in," suggest that the singer is struggling to set boundaries and stand up for themselves in the relationship. They feel as if their walls are caving in, and the lines "Every time I get somewhere, I wanna runaway runaway" and "I feel like I'm losing control, maybe I should let myself go" express that they feel defeated and powerless. The repeated chorus of "runaway, runaway" implies an intense desire to escape from the situation, even if there is little time left to do so.
The lyrics, "I wish I was a dumb pop star, so the words wouldn't matter to you" suggest that the pressure to be a certain way or to conform is also a factor in this relationship. In many ways, this song touches on the themes of conformity and the idea that the public sees stars as expendable, but the reality is they are just as flawed and human as everyone else.
Overall, "Runaway Runaway" is a powerful expression of someone struggling to find their voice in a damaging relationship. The lyrics depict an internal battle between wanting to fight for oneself and giving in to the allure of running away.
