Running Away
Maverick Sabre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in a grave
Concrete tower blocks
This rain don't seem to stop
I'm trapped in these chains
Stalking queues for drugs
I know that I ain't far now
But a change don't seem to come
Man, my faith don't feel enough, no
'Cause this ain't what I want to hear
And I never thought
This life would be like this, no
Running away
I need to escape, far
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away
Running away
I need to escape,far
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here
None of my friends, speak
Say words don't mean a thing
They told us not to dream
See behind that fear
Just wont stop teaching us
That were not good enough
We pray for a change
But a change don't seem to come
Man, my faith don't feel enough, no
Cause this ain't
What I want to hear
And I never though, this life would be like this
No
Running away
I need to escape, far
Got to get away from here
Got to get away
Running away
I need to escape, far
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here
You don't feel this pain, in the clouds
Cause you're so far away
Yeah!
Running away, now
I need to escape, far
Got to get away from here
Got to get away, from here
Running away
I need to escape, far
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here
Got to get away, from here
The lyrics in Maverick Sabre's "Running Away" convey feelings of being trapped and seeking escape. The opening lines reveal a sense of being lost in a desolate, urban environment where one is stuck in a cycle of poverty and addiction. There is a sense of hopelessness as the singer feels trapped in chains, and despite their efforts to change their situation, a change never seems to come.
The chorus emphasizes the desire to escape and run away to a better place, far from the current situation. The repeated phrase "got to get away" emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the desperation to leave. The second verse reveals the pressure of society on the singer and their peers to think they are not good enough and to give up on their dreams.
Overall, "Running Away" tells a story of struggling to break free from the limitations imposed by societal expectations and difficult circumstances. It conveys the feeling of wanting to leave everything behind and start anew, but a lack of direction and guidance in achieving that goal.
