"Run for Cover" is a song by rock band the Killers from their fifth studio … Read Full Bio ↴"Run for Cover" is a song by rock band the Killers from their fifth studio album, Wonderful Wonderful (2017). Originally released as a promotional single on July 28, 2017, the song was sent to contemporary hit radio in the United Kingdom on September 8, 2017, and to alternative radio in the United States on November 14, 2017, serving as the album's second single.

The Killers' vocalist Brandon Flowers revealed that "Run for Cover" was originally written for their 2008 album Day & Age, but it was not completed due to Flowers not being able to finish the second verse of the song at the time. After meeting with Australian musician Alex Cameron in Las Vegas, he finally had a breakthrough as they kept on working together until the verse was finished. In the beginning of 2017, Flowers revealed the song had a good shot of being featured on the band's album. The Killers debuted "Run for Cover" during a concert at Borgata in Atlantic City on June 10, 2017. On July 28, the song was released as a promotional single from Wonderful Wonderful.

"Run for Cover" has been characterized under the genres new wave, post-punk revival, pop rock, and heartland rock, and was written by Flowers, Mark Stoermer, Ronnie Vannucci Jr., Alex Cameron, Jacknife Lee, and Stuart Price. Although it was initially produced by the latter, the track's production was finished by Lee. The song also contains an interpolation of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song". Lyrically, the song talks about domestic violence as Flowers tells a woman to "run for cover" from her abusive husband while she still can.

The song received critical acclaim from music critics. Andrew Trendell from NME described it as a "synth-pop banger driven by post-punk propulsion" and noted its sound is similar to the one of Sam's Town era. Rolling Stone's Daniel Kreps called it a "glossy, buoyant track that proves the band hasn't strayed from their textbook sound." The Musical Hype! gave the song four out of five stars and said: "All in all, 'Run for Cover' is a well-rounded, energetic, and up-tempo record from The Killers. Does it trump 'The Man'? It depends upon who you ask, but true to the band's style, this is next-level. Elite? Yes."

The music video for "Run for Cover" was directed by Tarik Mikou and released on August 22, 2017. The video tells the story of a woman who tries to run away from her ex-lover, backing up the recurring abusive relationship theme of the song's lyrics. After getting hit by him with a car, she gets up and sets the vehicle on fire with him inside. The cassette tape she is holding onto in the video reads "07/28/17", referring to the release date of the single.

Run For Cover
The Killers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard heaven and thunder cry

Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover

What are you waiting for, a kiss or an apology?
You think by now you'd have an A in toxicology
It's hard to pack the car when all you do is shame us
It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous

I saw my mother on the street last night
All pretty and strong, singing 'The Road Is Long'
I said 'momma I know you've tried'
But she fell on her knees and cried

Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
I know you're not the only one
Don't look back, just run for cover

And there was nothing she wouldn't give
Just to trust him with her nightmares, with her dreams
She's running
She's running
Just to trust him
He got a big smile, he's fake news
Just run for cover, you've got nothing left to lose

Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
Run
Run

(You know you're not the only)
Run for cover

Overall Meaning

The song “Run For Cover” by The Killers delves into themes of political corruption and toxic relationships. The lyrics are a warning to listeners to beware of those in power who may betray them and to run from those harmful relationships. The line “What have you gathered to report to your progenitors?” questions the validity of the information we receive and its source. The verse “Are your excuses any better than your senator's?” highlights the deceit of politicians and how they make excuses for their actions.

The second verse describes a moment where the singer sees Sonny Liston, a former boxing champion, sing Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song.” The imagery of Liston being “black-fisted and strong” contrasts with the softer theme of redemption. The chorus “Run for cover, run while you can, baby, don't look back” is a classic motif in rock music. The repetition reinforces the message conveyed by the lyrics that it is better to run from danger than to face it head-on.

Line by Line Meaning

What have you gathered to report to your progenitors?
What information do you have to share with your ancestors?

Are your excuses any better than your senator's?
Do your justifications hold any more weight than those of politicians?

He held a conference and his wife was standing by his side
He hosted a public event with his spouse present

He did her dirty but no-one died
He treated her unfairly but no one was physically harmed

I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night
I witnessed a boxing legend in public

Black-fisted and strong singing Redemption Song
He was powerful and confident, singing of redemption

He motioned me to the sky
He gestured upwards to the heavens

I heard heaven and thunder cry
I perceived the sound of both celestial and natural disturbances

Run for cover
Take cover and protect yourself

Run while you can, baby, don't look back
Flee immediately and don't glance behind you

You gotta run for cover
You must seek shelter

Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
Don't let the concept of fear trap you

You know you're not the only one
You're not alone in this situation

And don't look back, just run for cover
Avoid looking back and keep moving towards safety

What are you waiting for, a kiss or an apology?
What do you expect, a romantic gesture or an expression of remorse?

You think by now you'd have an A in toxicology
By now, you should have become an expert in identifying poisonous situations

It's hard to pack the car when all you do is shame us
It's difficult to leave when you constantly make us feel ashamed

It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous
It's particularly challenging when the person causing distress is well-known

I saw my mother on the street last night
I encountered my mother in public

All pretty and strong, singing 'The Road Is Long'
She appeared beautiful and resilient, singing a song of perseverance

I said 'momma I know you've tried'
I expressed empathy for her efforts

But she fell on her knees and cried
However, she was overwhelmed by emotion and began weeping

And there was nothing she wouldn't give
She was willing to do anything

Just to trust him with her nightmares, with her dreams
In order to confide in him about her deepest fears and desires

He got a big smile, he's fake news
Despite his seemingly warm disposition, he isn't trustworthy

Just run for cover, you've got nothing left to lose
Protect yourself because you have nothing else at stake

Run
Move quickly to safety

You know you're not the only
You're not in this alone

Run for cover
Seek protection

I COME IN PEACE! Here's the lyrics:

[Verse 1]
What have you gathered to report to your progenitors?
Are your excuses any better than your senator's?
He held a conference and his wife was standing by his side
He did her dirty but no-one died

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night
Black-fisted and strong singing Redemption Song
He motioned me to the sky
I heard heaven and thunder cry

[Chorus]
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover

[Verse 2]
What are you waiting for, a kiss or an apology?
You think by now you'd have an A in toxicology
It's hard to pack the car when all you do is shame us
It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I saw my mother on the street last night
All pretty and strong, singing 'the road is long'
I said 'Momma I know you've tried'
But she fell on her knees and cried

[Chorus]
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
I know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover

[Bridge]
And there was nothing she wouldn't give
Just to trust him with her nightmares, with her dreams
She's running, she's running
Just to trust him
He got a big smile, he's fake news
Just run for cover, you've got nothing left to lose

[Chorus]
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
Run
Run
Run for cover

I think this song is not only fantastic but it’s the last chapter to the Mr Brightside story.

In the second part Miss Atomic Bomb Brandon sings ‘ You run for cover’ which is the name of this song.Therefore I think there is a link and it is the last chapter. This chapter is telling the story of the women he fell in love with and the man she choose over him. She’s finally realising how evil and cruel he actually is and how she was wrong to go with him. Now she is trying to get back to Brandon somehow as she knows how much she truly loves Brandon.

It’s just a theory but I think it is the last chapter of the Mr Brightside story. For all I know there could be more and I’d like to see it.

Thank you The Killers for creating your music. I’ve been a huge fan of you guys since I was tiny and I love you guys so much ❤️

Love Els xx

Edit- My comment is just a theory on the tune I believe many have said its about Trump but it can be about that and the last chapter :) xx
Another edit- This is probably my oldest YouTube comment I'm glad I keep coming back to it because legends keep listening to this tune xx

This song got me through one of the hardest times in my life upon its release. It describes the necessity of escaping an abusive relationship, one that I had just come out of. I was lost, confused, angry, and emotional constantly. It hit radio stations right as it was happening and it was exactly what I needed. Furthermore, the alt station came back to my city right then and there too, which is how I discovered it. Before I knew it, it was eeeverywhere. Bars, cars, you name it. This and CHVRCHES latest song at the time, "Get Out," had been released just months apart. I have an emotional attachment to this song for that exact reason, and haven't let it go since, from listening to it in my darkest moment, to teaching it to myself on the guitar. Plus, I mean, it was def nice to see such an amazingly sharp comeback from The Killers between this song and "The Man."

Don’t think so. The lyrics are clearly anti trump. They couldn’t have written that song ten years ago.

Although your theory makes sense, there is something that does not fit, to begin with, in the videos: Mr. Brightside, miss atomic bomb and just another girl, there is a constant miss atomic bomb is blonde, I am only basing myself on appearance, but also In this video you can see that she escapes, and in miss atomic bomb it is quite clear that they did not return, therefore I think it is incorrect, fine anyway.

In the beginning everything is black and white for the woman's life, everything is a shade of gray and nothing seems right. But when she takes control and initiative, everything turns to color, even if it brought her chaos. It was her discovering that her life didn't have to be what it was and that her life could be what she wanted it as. This is my favorite song by The Killers now.
