Los Angeles very own Runaway Kids look to imbue that same sense of urgency within their listeners. Formed in the Summer of 2014, the band immediately went to work writing and recording their debut EP ' Better Days', which they recorded with producer Cameron Webb (Pennywise, Alkaline Trio, Sum 41). The band received a very large co-sign in Pennywise’s Randy Bradbury, who lent his expertise by tracking bass on the entire EP.
Jake Denning, writer for absolutepunk.net, had this to say about the EP: “With their debut EP, Runaway Kids have established themselves as a band to look out for in 2015. It’s reckless and wild, reminding listeners why they fell in love with alternative music in the first place.” Look for Runaway Kids in your city, as they plan on relentlessly touring the United States and beyond, playing the very distinct brand of punk rock that made them the people they are today.
Take It All
Runaway Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An empty space is what you left in me
Stuck in a chase, can't find your hideaway
Fictional place stories I can't believe
Trust a force unknown, you never answered me. You made me feel so low
And now I can't believe
And if your face is shown then put your faith in me
You will feel alone
I search everyday for a space to clear my brain
So if you can take my pain away from me, take it all,
Take it all from me
Leave empty faith, so we don't smear your name,
You left me broken, tired, playing in your twisted games
Trust a force unknown,you never answered me
You made me feel so low and now I can't believe
And if your face is shown you'd see me struggling so you should know
I search everyday for a space to clear my brain
So if you can take my pain away from me, take it all
I fight for a way to escape this mess I've made
So if you can take my pain away from me, take it all
Take it away from me
Are you listening?
If I'm your son, then where have you been?
Left me a bastard isn't that sin?
Can you hear me?
And I've been waiting but you've done nothing for me
I search everyday for a space to clear my brain
So if you can take my pain away from me, take it all
I fight for way to escape this mess I've made
So if you can take my pain away from me,take it all
Take it all from me
The lyrics of Runaway Kids' song "Take It All" explore the theme of abandonment and feeling broken due to the absence of someone important. The song seems to address a person or an entity that has left a void, as the singer sings about needing a face that can match a name and finding an empty space left in them. The lyrics speak of being stuck in a hopeless chase, unable to find a hideaway, and feeling low and struggling, all while searching for a space to clear their brain.
The lyrics refer to a "force unknown" that has been unresponsive and has made the singer feel low. They plead to see the face of this person or entity, hoping to find solace in them. However, they also acknowledge that if the face is shown, it would only make them feel more alone. The song seems to be a message to this absent presence, asking them to take away the pain and to listen.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of identity and lineage, as the singer questions where the absent entity has been if they are their supposed son. They refer to feeling like a bastard and express their disappointment about the lack of action taken by the entity in question.
Overall, "Take It All" is a emotional song that delves into feelings of abandonment, longing for connection, and the pain of feeling like a part of oneself is missing.

Lyrics: dreamr. & Catchphrase - Runaway Kids (ft. Prince Woods & Kyra Grove)
[Verse 1: Prince Woods]
Late night with the top down
Stay out late, til we passed out
Running wild in our home town
They say we gotta plan our lives out,
but we forget it 'cause we're young now
We kept the memories for ourselves
[Hook: Prince Woods & Kyra Grove]
We're the runaway kids
We don't care what they thing
Lighting fires, taking pictures
Writing memories down in ink
We're the runaway kids
We don't care what they say
Yeah we've got some crazy stories
Making new ones every day
[Verse 2: Kyra Grove]
You picked me up at sunset
Top down the nights we wont forget
Had a wild and reckless mindset
Didn't care what the hell they said
Throwing parties in my basement
And then we shared your cigarette
[Hook: Prince Woods & Kyra Grove]
We're the runaway kids
We don't care what they thing
Lighting fires, taking pictures
Writing memories down in ink
We're the runaway kids
We don't care what they say
Yeah we've got some crazy stories
Making new ones every day
[Bridge: Prince Woods & Kyra Grove]
Pull me close like you did that night
I miss the days when you held me tight
Pull me close we'll get lost tonight
I miss those days can we turn back time
[Hook: Prince Woods & Kyra Grove]
We're the runaway kids
We don't care what they thing
Lighting fires, taking pictures
Writing memories down in ink
We're the runaway kids
We don't care what they say
Yeah we've got some crazy stories
Making new ones every day
[Instrumental]
