Run Away
Three Years Hollow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so far away .
I tried to pick myself up off the floor again. Was so blind, I thought you were my friend.
Pick up yourself and take another look around.
They're running as fast as they can.
Calm yourself, take a breathe instead of breaking down.
Don't lose your way.
Run away
from the pain you hide 'cause there's another way.
There's another way to take you down.
So step up and take all the things you hide.
There's another way
Another way
Do you really think I'll find it? I've walked this road so long.
If this is my past, when does it end?
Pick up yourself and take another look around.
They're running as fast as they can.
Make me or break me, alone I'll try to find my way.
Run away
from the pain you hide 'cause there' another way.
There's another way to take you down.
So step up and take all the things you hide.
There's another way
Another way
(Solo)
Did you want me to find myself alone again?
Run away
from the pain you hide 'cause there's another way.
There's another way
Down.
So step up and take all the things you hide.
There's another way
Another way
Run away
from the pain you hide 'cause there's another way.
There's another way to take you down.
So step up and take all the things you hide.




There's another way
Another way

The lyrics then prompt the listener to calm down and take a breath instead of breaking down. The person is being encouraged not to give up and to look for a way out of their pain. The chorus urges the person to run away from the pain, but not to lose their way, as there is another way to take them down. The struggle becomes more apparent as the lyrics state "Do you really think I'll find it? I've walked this road so long" which seems to suggest that the person has been struggling for some time and has yet to find the way out.
