Runway Houses City Clouds
Tame Impala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

But don't remind me of home
There's everywhere I'd rather go
It's true that some things have to change
Oh no

And don't remind me of home
Or I might notice where I am
It's true that some things have to change
I know some things have to change
It's true that some things have to change
I know some things have to change
Oh no

I'm gazing out the window
As I ascend into the sky
But I'm the one who's left behind
I'm the one who's left behind
There is nothing that is safe
I know some things have to change
Oh yeah, I do
Yeah, I do





But don't remind me of home
In case it isn't quite the same

Overall Meaning

"Runway Houses City Clouds" is a song by Tame Impala, released in 2010 on their album "Innerspeaker." This song represents a shift in perspective from the environment to the self. Kevin Parker, the lead vocalist of Tame Impala, wrote "Runway Houses City Clouds" in a time of growth and change for himself, as he was transitioning from his home in Perth, Australia to a new life in France. The lyrics are an expression of the desire for new experiences and the fear that comes with leaving behind old memories and the familiar.


The opening lyrics, "But don't remind me of home, there's everywhere I'd rather go," express the sentiment that while home is familiar, it has become stale and unfulfilling. The line "Or I might notice where I am" suggests a sense of disillusionment with one's current situation. The lyrics "It's true that some things have to change" reveals the motivation behind leaving home and undertaking a new journey of self-discovery.


The chorus emphasizes the idea that change is necessary for growth. The line "There is nothing that is safe" suggests that progress comes at a cost, and that one must let go of the familiar to embrace the unknown. The phrase "I'm the one who's left behind" expresses the regret and loneliness that often accompanies growth and change.


Overall, "Runway Houses City Clouds" is a testament to the complicated emotions that come with transition and the desire to strike out into uncharted territory in pursuit of personal growth.


Line by Line Meaning

But don't remind me of home
Please refrain from reminding me of my home


There's everywhere I'd rather Go.
I'm not content staying home, I desire to explore various places


It's true that some things Have to change
I understand that change is inevitable


Or I might notice where I am
I fear that acknowledging my surroundings will make me realize I'm not where I want to be


And gazing out the window As I ascend into the sky But I'm the one who's Left behind
Although I see the world from above, I can't help feeling left behind and stagnant


There is nothing that is safe
There's nothing certain or guaranteed in life


Yeah, I do But don't remind me of home
I acknowledge the inevitability of change, but please don't remind me of the life I want to leave behind


In case it isn't quite the same
I'm scared that returning home might not be what I remembered or expected

Runway Houses City Clouds - Lyrics:

But don't remind me of home
There's everywhere I'd rather
Go. It's true that some things
Have to change
And don't remind me of home
Or I might notice where I am
It's true that some things
Have to change
I know some things have
To change
And gazing out the window
As I ascend into the sky
But I'm the one who's
Left behind
There is nothing that is safe
I know some things have
To change
Yeah, I do
But don't remind me of home
In case it isn't quite the same
