I Ran (So Far Away)

海鷗合唱團

I walk along the avenue
I never thought I′d meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
You hypnotize me through

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you

The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn′t get away





Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pixel Perfect's song "I Ran (So Far Away)" tell a story of a chance encounter between the singer and a girl that takes him by surprise. He describes walking along the avenue and meeting a girl like her, with auburn hair and tawny eyes that hypnotize him. But as quickly as she appears, a cloud appears above her head and a beam of light shines down on her. The singer is drawn in by the surreal scene that unfolds as the Aurora Borealis comes into view. Despite his amazement, the singer feels the need to run away, unable to stay in the presence of such otherworldly beauty.


The song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but there are a few ways to understand the meaning behind "I Ran (So Far Away)". The chorus, where the singer repeatedly declares "I just ran, I ran all night and day, I couldn't get away," suggests that the singer is overwhelmed not just by the girl but by the entire experience. He feels a need to escape, possibly because he is afraid of what might happen if he stays. The surreal imagery of the cloud and the Aurora Borealis hint at a sense of transcendence, as if the girl is somehow a messenger from a higher plane of existence. The singer's reaction, however, suggests that he is not ready to accept this message and would rather flee.
