running away
Skowyt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All his life he was helping them
And what he received was spit in the face
He's always wanted to blame, and
People shouted "A freak is here"

Choose your path and walk away
Choose yourself, be yourself
Told you, there's no turning back,
Running away, you're running away.

Better sleep with one eye open
You never know who's on your trail

All his life he was helping them
And what he received was spit in the face
He's always wanted to blame, and
People shouted "A freak is here"
Running away, always running away
Running away, always running away

Choose your path and walk away
Choose yourself, be yourself
Told you there's no turning back
Running away, you're running away.

Better sleep with one eye open
You never know who's on your trail

All his life he was helping them
And what he received was spit in the face
He's always wanted to blame, and
People shouted "A freak is here"
Running away, always running away
Running away, always running away

You know, you just can't turn your back, sometimes
You have to rise your hand, sometimes
Release your anger, forget your pain
You can't be neutral in a moving trail
Can't be neutral in a moving trail
Can't be neutral in a moving trail

All his life he was helping them
And what he received was spit in the face
He's always wanted to blame, and
People shouted "A freak is here"
Running away, always running away
Running away, always running away

Can't be neutral in a moving trail




Can't be neutral in a moving trail
Can't be neutral in a moving trail, aah!
