Run Baby Run
The Rigs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't protect you now
The love that I can feel
It'll only break you down
Love
A secret that I keep
Who wakes as the world sleeps
Finds you in the moon light
Daylight's dying
Run, baby, run, baby run
Ooh
Full moon rising
Run, baby, run, baby run
Dear
The kiss that steals your breath
Will steal your soul instead
The night is all that's left
So wait
Keep your heart inside
My hands won't keep it safe
Cross the street on dreams
And smile
Your soul
Slowly dies
Ooh
Daylight's dying
Run, baby, run, baby run
Ooh
Full moon rising
Run, baby, run, baby run
Look
Can you see behind these eyes
Can you see what isn't there
The truth dressed up in lies
Ooh
Daylight' dying
Run, baby, run, baby run
Ooh
Full moon rising
Run, baby, run, baby run
Ooh
Daylight's dying
Run, baby, run, baby run
Ooh
Full moon rising
Run, baby, run, baby run
The Rigs's song "Run Baby Run" explores the idea of escaping from a dangerous situation, possibly from a toxic relationship, where love has become the very thing that is breaking the singer down. The song speaks about the pursuit of freedom and the fear of losing oneself in the process. Through the song, the singer asks the listener to join her in the flight, urging them to "run baby, run." The song has a haunting quality that speaks of desperation, pain and the need for survival, with the "full moon rising" and the "daylight dying" adding an additional layer of emotional urgency.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but one can understand that the singer is aware that love can be a double-edged sword, and it has become more dangerous than safe. She keeps secrets, moves in the night, and does not leave love as a trail - hence the reference to "cross the street on dreams." The lyrics further suggest that escaping the situation comes at a cost, as the singer fears losing a part of her soul in the process. The song implies that ultimately, it is better to run than to stay trapped in a situation that threatens to destroy you.
