Runaway
Twenty 4 Seven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you tell me where you go if you know it,
Is it a oneway street, then show it.
You're not happy and you're not satisfied,
Not comfortable, you're uptight.
Do you wanna go left, do you wanna go right,
What's the best way to win this fight.
Only one satisfaction,
A runaway-train in action.

Stop, look and listen, will you,
I've got something right here for you,
Take the tools and play the game,
Make the rules and no shame.
The situation is a hardcore-scene,
So don't underestimate.
Believe me cause I know what you mean,
Take a break to see what you create.

Do no fear, call my name and I will be here,
Just open up and see clear,
It's just a way to say
My name is X and I'm a runaway.
No time to think what you're looking for,
Here it is but you still want more.

So now you take a hike,
You don't deal with a thing that you don't like.

Give it up, take it up,
Make the best of life and just don't stop.
An easy way without traces,
Yeah, I see it in their faces.
Tell me all on your mind,
Don't leave a small thing behind.
Still wanna know how to get away,
And make it done in the best way.

Runaway, runaway, runaway,
Just make my day,
Do you know what you're proving, proving.
Runaway, runaway,
Just make my day,
Think about what you're moving, moving.

Where you gonna stay,
When you run away, when you run away?




What you gonna say,
About the way you play, when you run away.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Twenty 4 Seven's song Runaway tell the story of someone who is feeling trapped and unsatisfied in their current situation. The song starts by asking where they will go if they decide to leave, and then encouraging them to take action and find a way to escape the situation. The lyrics suggest that the person is in some sort of conflict, and there is only one way they will find satisfaction - by running away from it all.


The second verse of the song gives more context to the situation, suggesting that it is a "hardcore-scene" and that the person should not "underestimate" it. Despite this warning, the singer encourages them to "take a break" and see what they can create in their new situation. They are told not to be afraid, as the singer will always be there to support them. The lyrics end with a final encouragement to "give it up, take it up, make the best of life and just don't stop".


Overall, the song seems to be a message of empowerment, encouraging listeners to take control of their lives and seek happiness on their own terms. The lyrics suggest that it may not be an easy journey, but it will be worth it in the end.

An easy way without traces,
A simple way without a trail,

Yes, I can see it on their countenances.


Tell me all on your mind,
Share everything that's on your mind,


Don't leave a small thing behind.
Don't hold anything back.


Still wanna know how to get away,
Still want to learn how to distance yourself from your troubles,


And make it done in the best way.
And do it in the most efficient way possible.


Runaway, runaway, runaway,
Flee, flee, flee,


Just make my day,
Just make me happy,


Do you know what you're proving, proving.
Are you aware of what you're demonstrating?


Think about what you're moving, moving.
Consider what you're progressing.


Where you gonna stay,
Where will you live,


When you run away, when you run away?
When you flee your problems?


What you gonna say,
What will you respond,


About the way you play, when you run away.
About your strategy when fleeing your problems.
