On the Run
Paul Hardcastle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look in, look in, look in
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
All I do is a constant reminder
The future's here and it walks right behind you
All I see is a constant illusion
My head spins and my world's in confusion
Look in, look in, look in
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
All I see is self-rearranging
The moment's here but it's already changing
Take one step and that's your direction
You ain't sure, now, was that the intention?
Pre - Chorus:
Close my eyes, I think of times
And this memory's twisting my head
I've got a feelin' that it's all not over yet
I've got some things that I just cannot forget
Chorus:
All I do is think of you, you've got me on the run
On the run, on the run
On the run, on the run
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
Looking round, you can take it or leave it
You got a feeling but you must believe it
All you do is constantly changing
You feel a rise and it's already fading
Pre - Chorus + Chorus:
(Guitar Solo)
It's taken so long for the sun to appear,
(look in, look in, look in, look out)
Now the blue sky above is so clear,
(look out, look out, look out, look in)
And everything you need is so near
(look in, look in, look in, look in, look in, look out)
It's taken so long for the sun to appear,
(look in, look in, look in, look out)
Now the blue sky above is so clear,
(look out, look out, look out, look in)
Oh, and everything you need is so near
(look in, look in, look in, look out, look in)
The lyrics of Paul Hardcastle's song "On the Run" describe a state of confusion and illusion that the singer is experiencing. The repeated phrases of "Look out, look in" suggest a sense of disorientation and a constant search for direction. The singer describes feeling like they are constantly being reminded of the future, as if it is always following close behind them. The references to self-rearranging and constantly changing moments hint at a sense of instability and a lack of control.
The pre-chorus and chorus sections focus on the thoughts and feelings the singer has towards someone else. The singer admits to constantly thinking about this person and feeling like they are on the run because of their feelings. The repetition of "on the run" suggests both a sense of urgency and perhaps a sense of fleeing from something. The guitar solo that follows further emphasizes the idea of instability and chaos, with the music becoming more frenzied and unpredictable.
Overall, the lyrics of "On the Run" paint a picture of a confused and disoriented individual who can't quite find their way. The repeated phrases, references to changing moments, and sense of urgency all contribute to a feeling of chaos that is echoed in the music.
