Michael Schulte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my words are useless here
but i can't find your melody the same
oh, i won't be your remedy again
no, i don't wanna know
you won't let it go
watch us as we grow
lover, enemy
grippin twisting me
something's gonna give
what if i run, if i run away? what would you care if i stay?
i'm running away (i'm running, i'm running away)
i mean what i say (i'm meaning, i mean what i say)
running away (i'm running, i'm running away)
i'm running away
oh, i can't see you listening
my darling, do you hear?
oh, i can't play your melody the same
oh, i won't be your remedy again
no, i don't wanna know
you won't let it go
watch us as we grow
to and fro, to and fro
lover, enemy
grippin twisting me
something's gonna give
what if i run, if i run away? what would you care if i stay?
i'm running away (i'm running, i'm running away)
i mean what i say (i'm meaning, i mean what i say)
running away (i'm running, i'm running away)
i'm running away
i'm running, running away
i'm meaning, i mean what i say
i'm running, running away, away
what if i run, if i run away? what would you care if i stay?
2x
i'm running away (i'm running, i'm running away)
i mean what i say (i'm meaning, i mean what i say)
running away (i'm running, i'm running away)
i'm running away
The lyrics of Michael Schulte's song Run Away reflect a sense of weariness and frustration within a relationship. The singer of the song states that they are unable to fight any longer, and can't find the right words to express their feelings. They also acknowledge that they can no longer be the "remedy" for their partner's issues. The repeated lines of "no, I don't wanna know, you won't let it go" reflect the singer's exhaustion with continuously going round in circles with their partner. The use of "lover, enemy" and "grippin' twisting me" further emphasizes the tumultuous nature of the relationship.
The chorus of "what if I run, if I run away? what would you care if I stay?" suggests a desire for escape and a need to know whether their departure would make a difference to their partner. The verse that follows refers to the singer's inability to communicate with their partner effectively, implying that the partner is not listening to them. There is a sense that the relationship is one-sided, with one party giving all they can, while the other is not reciprocating.
Overall, the lyrics of Run Away convey a sense of emotional exhaustion and a longing to escape from a relationship that has become more draining than fulfilling.
