On the Run
The Service Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I dream of a world without war
People laughing in the sun
And a world without love ain't no place to live
Yet, we're still living but the gun
And I'm just another cowboy on the run

Sometimes the rain gets all in my eyes
'Till I can't see the wrongs I've done
I've got trouble on ahead, the sheriff's close behind
Oh God, I'd love to see the sun
And I'm just another cowboy on the run

Standing in a window, I don't know what to do
Standing in a doorway, I'm trying to pass on through
Walking on a freeway, I don't know where to go
Out on my highway, there's nothing here to do

I'd like to sail the sea, ride wild and free
And act as if my time won't ever come
Well, I keep on getting higher, set my soul on fire
But when it's all been said and done
I'm just one more cowboy on the run

Just another cowboy on the run




Oh, how I'd love to see the sun
And we're still living by the gun

Overall Meaning

The Service's song "On The Run" talks about the desire for a world without war and hate. The opening lines "Sometimes I dream of a world without war, People laughing in the sun," paints a picture of a peaceful and happy world. The singer wishes for a world where love reigns, and there is no need for people to carry weapons. However, the reality they face is quite different, "And a world without love ain't no place to live, Yet, we're still living by the gun."


The singer appears to be on the run, with a troubled past. They sing, "Sometimes the rain gets all in my eyes, 'Till I can't see the wrongs I've done." Even though they want to turn their life around, their past deeds keep haunting them. There's trouble ahead as the sheriff is close behind; the singer wishes to see the sun and get away from the darkness. The song's lyrics suggest that the cowboy is still grappling with their past actions, desires to leave it behind, and start afresh.


Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I dream of a world without war
Occasionally I ponder about a planet void of conflict


People laughing in the sun
Individuals joyfully expressing their happiness under clear skies


And a world without love ain't no place to live
A habitat devoid of affection is an unbearable dwelling


Yet, we're still living but the gun
Despite that, we are yet dependant on weaponry for survival


And I'm just another cowboy on the run
Furthermore, I am only one of many wandering desperados


Sometimes the rain gets all in my eyes
Occasionally precipitation obstructs my vision


'Till I can't see the wrongs I've done
Consequently, I fail to acknowledge my prior misdeeds


I've got trouble on ahead, the sheriff's close behind
Presently, I anticipate future dilemmas as law enforcement trails me


Oh God, I'd love to see the sun
I fervently desire to bask in the radiance of the solar orb


And I'm just another cowboy on the run
Furthermore, I am only one of many wandering desperados


Standing in a window, I don't know what to do
Gazing through a portal, I am uncertain of my next action


Standing in a doorway, I'm trying to pass on through
As I arrive at an entrance, I attempt to proceed onwards


Walking on a freeway, I don't know where to go
Strolling on a thoroughfare, I have no destination in mind


Out on my highway, there's nothing here to do
On my personal path, there are no means of engagement


I'd like to sail the sea, ride wild and free
I yearn to navigate oceans and embrace an unbridled existence


And act as if my time won't ever come
Pretend as if mortality does not exist for me


Well, I keep on getting higher, set my soul on fire
However, I persist in elevating myself, and feeling passionate


But when it's all been said and done
When everything has happened and concluded


I'm just one more cowboy on the run
I am just an additional wandering desperado seeking freedom


Just another cowboy on the run
Additionally, I am just one more wandering desperado


Oh, how I'd love to see the sun
Oh, how I greatly desire to bask in the radiance of the solar orb


And we're still living by the gun
Moreover, we live life with weaponry as our essential tool

Any fanservice for hiyiri is bullying XDD

This is how they express how grateful they are and how she is important
In other ways the cherish her and think she's irreplaceable partner and friend
