Runaways
Sam Feldt & Deepend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, little darling
I'm gonna take you outta the darkness
I wanna walk with you in the light and hold your head high

Hey, little darling
We better go before it is too late
Sneak out the window and down the fire escape, hold my hand tight
'Cause we're just run, run, runaways, run, run, renegades
Run, run to get away
And we just run, run because we ain't givin' it up now to get away
Always a haunted place

Oh, and you and I are the ghosts
I wanna take you home
But we're just run, run, runaways, run, run, renegades
Nowhere, I couldn't stay

Hey, little darling
No, we're not welcome here in this party
They're lookin' through us like uninvited, hold your head high

'Cause we're just run, run, runaways, run, run, renegades
Run, run to get away
And we just run, run because we ain't givin' it up now to get away
Always a haunted place

Oh, and you and I are the ghosts
I wanna take you home
But we're just run, run, runaways, run, run, renegades
Nowhere, I couldn't stay

Oh, and you and I are the ghosts
I wanna take you home




But we're just run, run, runaways, run, run, renegades
Nowhere, I couldn't stay

Overall Meaning

Sam Feldt's song "Runaways" is an anthem for those who feel like they don't belong. The song encourages people to break free from the darkness they are trapped in and run away, despite the odds against them. The opening lyrics speak directly to the listener, calling them "little darling" and promising to take them "outta the darkness." The artist says he wants to walk with them in the light and hold their head high. The second verse tells the listener that it's time to leave before it is too late. The idea of leaving through a window and down a fire escape is exciting and thrilling, but also somewhat dangerous. It's clear that the artist wants to take the listener away from danger and into the light.


The chorus is an invitation to run away together. The artist says they are runaways and renegades, words that suggest they are misfits, outlaws, or rebels. The repeated phrase "run, run, runaways" suggests that they are trying to escape from something urgently. Maybe it's fear, maybe it's a sense of being trapped, but whatever it is, they want to get away. The second verse describes a party where they don't feel welcome. Again, the artist encourages the listener to hold their head high and not let anyone bring them down. The song is not just about running away physically, but running away from fear, loneliness, and feeling out of place.

Runaways Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, little darling
I'm gonna take you out of the darkness
I wanna walk with you in the light, yeah
Hold your head high
Hey, little darling
We better go before it is too late
Sneak out the window, undone the fires here
Hold my hand tight

[Chorus]
Cause we're just run-run-runaways
Run, run, renegades
Run, run to get away
And we just run, run because we ain't
Giving it up, gotta get away
Always a haunted place
Oh, you and I are the ghosts
How I wanna take you home
But we're just run-run-runaways
Run, run, renegades
Nowhere we couldn't stay

[Verse 2]
Hey, little darling
When we're not welcome here in this party
They're looking through us, I'm going high, yeah
Hold your head high

[Chorus]
Cause we're just run-run-runaways
Run, run, renegades
Run, run to get away
And we just run, run because we ain't
Giving it up, gotta get away
Always a haunted place
Oh, you and I are the ghosts
How I wanna take you home
But we're just run-run-runaways
Run, run, renegades
Nowhere we couldn't stay

[Outro]
Oh, you and I are the ghosts
How I wanna take you home
But we're just run-run-runaways
Run, run, renegades
Nowhere we couldn't stay
