Over the years Pretty Maids have sold hundreds of thousands of records, but have never broken through in a major way. They have supported such well known acts as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Saxon, Nazareth and were also featured at the 1987 German version of Monsters of Rock where Metallica headlined along with Deep Purple.
The new 2006 album "Wake Up to the Real World" shows the band back in former glory. Great hard rock/melodic rock with a metal touch to it. The album includes a cover of Deep Purple's classic gem "Perfect Strangers". Pretty Maids is currently signed to Frontiers Records.
Running Out
Pretty Maids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't let anybody see me through
Won't let them blind my vision
I'll make my own decisions
No one to interrupt my point of view
No way
Oh no
Or steal away my own humanity
It ain't no false illusion
They'll leave me with confusion
And try to penetrate my privacy
Too late
I'm a free man
Too late
Feels so good inside yeah
Too late
They can't tame me
Too late
Finally see the light
Running out for love
I'm tired of living among this human race
So insecure I feel so out of place
Don't need no constitution
Religious revolution
Don't need no desert wars or money race
Too late.........
Running out for love
Time after time in a world of decline without love
Where do you go when you know
That the crystal has cracked
And there's no turning back no retreat
I close my eyes in the rain and I hope
Running out
Running out
I'm running out
The song "Running Out" by Pretty Maids is a powerful expression of the artist's desire for autonomy and freedom. The chorus of the song, "Running out for love," is a repetition of the central theme of the song. The artist is running or escaping from the constraints of society to obtain the freedom that he desires. The lyrics of the song convey a deep sense of dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in society. The artist desires to escape the "human race" that is "so insecure" and "out of place." The artist has no desire to participate in "desert wars or money race," or any other societal activity that would bind him to society's expectations or norms.
The artist has no desire to be told what to do or think. He rejects the notion that anyone can see through him and blind his vision. The artist wants to make his own decisions, and he is determined not to let anyone interfere with his point of view or penetrate his privacy. Ultimately, the artist's goal is to retain his humanity and his sanity. He believes that freedom is essential to accomplishing this goal.
