I Ran
Sunshine Blind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through
I just ran, I ran both night and day
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light that's shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran both night and day
I couldn't get away
Reached out a hand to touch your face
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
Beam of light with you
Reach out a hand to try again
You're slowly disappearing from my view
Appearing from my view
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I couldn't get away
The song "I Ran" by Sunshine Blind tells a story about a chance encounter between the singer and a girl with "auburn hair and tawny eyes." The singer is captivated by this girl, and even feels hypnotized by her eyes. However, as the song progresses, a cloud appears above the girl's head and she begins to disappear from the singer's view. In the end, the singer runs away, unable to escape his feelings for the girl.
The lyrics of the song seem to be dealing with themes of love, longing, and escape. The singer is initially drawn to the girl, but as soon as she begins to disappear, he feels the need to run away from his emotions. The "beam of light" that the singer is floating in with the girl suggests a kind of otherworldly or mystical experience, and the appearance of the Aurora Borealis adds to this sense of the extraordinary.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Ran" paint a vivid picture of a fleeting, almost dreamlike encounter, and the mixed emotions that come with falling in love.

I walk along the avenue
I am walking down the street
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
I never expected to meet someone like you
Meet a girl like you
Meet a girl with your qualities
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
With reddish-brown hair and brownish-yellow eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Your eyes are so captivating that they put me in a trance
And I ran, I ran so far away
I tried to escape by running far away
I just ran, I ran both night and day
I ran continuously, without a break
A cloud appears above your head
A cloud forms above you
A beam of light that's shining down on you
A ray of light is illuminating you
The cloud is moving nearer still
The cloud is coming closer
Aurora Borealis comes in view
The Northern Lights become visible
And I ran, I ran so far away
I attempted to escape by running far away
I just ran, I ran both night and day
I kept running without stopping
I couldn't get away
I was unable to escape
Reached out a hand to touch your face
I extended my hand to touch your face
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
We are both hovering in a stream of light
Beam of light with you
Ray of light while we are together
Reach out a hand to try again
I attempt to touch you once more
You're slowly disappearing from my view
You are gradually vanishing before my eyes
And I ran, I ran so far away
I endeavored to run far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I ran continuously day and night
And I ran, I ran so far away
I made an effort to run very far away
I just ran, I couldn't get away
I could not escape even though I ran

If Indiana Jones was cleaning out his attic and found the Spear Of Destiny by accident it would not be as much of a shocking find as this cover. Very, very good!
