Run For Your Life
Shadowgraphs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run for your life alone, alone
Leave all your words behind again
If you're falling through the cracks where you don't belong
Sacrifice your plastic life for something real
In your mind
And if you're dreaming of the time we met
well I was too oh how I can't forget
I tried soo hard to fall into your eyes
But my whole life couldn't fit inside
your eyes
Run for your life alone, alone
Leave all your words behind again
If you're falling through the cracks where you don't belong




Sacrifice your plastic life for something real
In your mind

Run for your life alone, alone
Flee to escape the danger of losing yourself amidst the chaos of the world and face it all by yourself


Leave all your words behind again
Forget all the past negative experiences and memories and believe in the power of silence

Sacrifice your plastic life for something real
Ditch the superficiality of life and search for something authentic and genuine


In your mind

And if you're dreaming of the time we met
When you remember the past and think of a time where things were different and hopeful


well I was too oh how I can't forget
At that time, I was also hopeful and excited for the future, and that memory still lingers on


I tried soo hard to fall into your eyes
Trying your best to connect with someone and be understood


But my whole life couldn't fit inside your eyes
The realization of not being able to make others understand or fit in with their expectations

Rephrased for repetition purposes
