His unique approach and ear for melodies caught the ear of bitbird founder and tastemaker San Holo in early 2016 who featured Taska’s single “Leave Me” on the label’s debut compilation Gouldian Finch. The record exploded to the tune of millions of streams and was heavily featured across the festival circuit with some of the biggest names in EDM playing the record.
That success led to the opportunity for mentor San Holo to tap the budding producer for two official remixes for his own work on “Light” and “The Future” respectively before releasing two more powerful singles on bitbird in “Where We Go” and “Dreaming” firmly capturing the eyes and ears of tastemakers across the dance music space and establishing himself as the next big thing on one of the most curated labels in electronic music today. He wrapped up 2017 in style too making his label debut on indie tastemaker Lowly Palace with “Nothing Lasts.”
2018 sees Taska picking up right where he left off with a string of successful singles and broadening his horizons with successful label debuts on Monstercat and Seeking Blue with “We Would Never Do” and “In Your Eyes” respectively. With both singles he also showcased his skill as a multi-instrumentalist with live session ‘b-sides’ to them both separating himself from the pack with his classical training. He also had the time to release a debut music video for the frantic and manic production “Dead Inside.”
Running Away
Taska Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Illuminate what's left behind
My feet barely touch the ground
Barely make a sound
Can't stop running away
Can't stop running away
Running away
I need to run
I need to run until I can't breathe
Steal the air
Out of my lungs
Speed my own feet
I can see from a distance
I can see from a distance
I can see from a distance
I can see from a distance
Can't stop running away
Running, running, running away
Running, running, running away
In Taska Black's song "Running Away," the lyrics depict the feeling of needing to escape from something or someone that is holding the singer down. It starts with the lines "Running with the speed of light, Illuminate what's left behind," which portrays the idea of running so fast that you leave everything behind and everything becomes clear. The next lines "My feet barely touch the ground, Barely make a sound" represent the feeling of being so light and free while running that they hardly feel like they're touching the ground. The singer says "Can't stop running away," displaying the determination and need to keep going despite any obstacles.
In the next lines, "I need to run until I can't breathe, Steal the air out of my lungs, Speed my own feet," the singer emphasizes the desperation to keep running until they physically can't anymore, almost to the point of exhaustion. They use the metaphor of stealing air out of their lungs to exemplify the intensity of this feeling. In the final lines of the chorus, the singer repeats "I can see from a distance" twice, possibly meaning that by running away, they can see their problems from a different perspective and gain a sense of clarity.
Overall, the song conveys the idea of needing to escape from something or someone that is holding you down and the determination to keep running until you physically can't anymore. It also shows the feeling of being free and clear-minded while running away.
