The lyrics to Snafu's song Keep On Running can be interpreted as a warning to someone who is trying to avoid a relationship with the singer. The singer warns that some people will try to grab or deceive the person, but they should keep running from the singer's love, as it will ultimately break their heart. However, the singer also expresses a desire for the person's love and sings about how they are getting tired of chasing after them. The song has a playful, upbeat feel to it, which contrasts with the warning in the lyrics.
The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation on the part of the singer, as they plead with the person to stop running and give in to their love. At the same time, there is a sense that the singer understands the person's apprehension and is willing to wait for them to come around in their own time. The repetition of the phrase "keep on running" serves to reinforce the central theme of the song.

Opinions Animation Studios
The *best* part about THIS offering is that it runs FULL-LENGTH - There's a few seconds mebbe even a minute or so...that's left off the fadeout of the AngelAir 2006 double CD reissue. So THANX fer this, m8...
