Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think it's time that my mind should take a break
I take the things that my friends say I should take
I think it's time that I went on a holiday
I know that you will be the one
Who leads me right into the sun
Run away, run away far from here
I think it's time that I went on a holiday
I listen to the people the people who try to fake
They all say that they need a holiday
I think it's time that we went on a holiday
I know that you will be the one
Who leads me right into the sun
Run away, run away far from here
Run away, run away far from here
Yeah Yeah!
The lyrics of The Subways’ song “Holiday” seem to be about the need for a break from the pressures of life. The singer acknowledges that he should take a break and clear his mind. He takes the advice of his friends to go on a holiday and escape from the struggles of life. The chorus emphasizes his desire to escape, with the repetition of the phrase “run away, run away far from here”. The singer also acknowledges the need to get away from those who pretend to need a break or have a disingenuous reason for going on holiday.
The second verse emphasizes the singer’s need to take a break by listening to the suggestions of his friends. He recognizes that the people around him are trying to escape as well, which strengthens his impulse to take a break. He then repeats the chorus, highlighting again his desire to escape.
Overall, “Holiday” seems to be a song about the need for a mental and emotional break from life’s demands.
