Run Away
Ville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run away from the sun
Run away from the sun
To me

Let me hold you
And dream of a life
We belong to another world
I will tell you all the sweetest of lies

Run away from the sun, to me
Run away from the sun, into my arms

Flames pour out from your eyes
Words fail and it all turns to dust
Come shelter me with the prettiest cry

Run away from the sun, to me
Run away from the sun, into my arms
Disappear with me, love
Dive into the dark
Run away from the sun, to me

Run away from the sun, to me
Run away from the sun, into my arms
Disappear with me love
Dive into the dark
Run away from the sun, to me

We are the ones with moonlit hearts
Run to me
We are the ones with moonlit hearts
Run to me
We are the ones with moonlit hearts




And we belong to another world
Run to me

Run away from the Sun…
Run away from the Sun… To me…

Let me hold you
And dream of a life
We belong to another world
I will tell you
All the sweetest of lies...

Run away from the Sun, To me…
Run away from the Sun, To my arms..

As waves pour, out from your eyes
Words failing all, turns to dust
Come shelter me with the prettiest cry...

Run away from the Sun, To me…
Run away from the Sun, To my arms...
Disappear with me love, Dive into the dark
Run away from the Sun, To me…

Run away from the Sun, To me…
Run away from the Sun, To my arms...
Disappear with me love, Dive into the dark
Run away from the Sun, To me…

We are the ones with broken hearts.. Run to me (x2)
We are the ones with broken hearts
And we belong to another world, Run to me...

I miss Valo, I miss Him. Please don't stop making music. The only reason I've fought depression for 15 years is because HIM. Please never stop.

@LilLunaWitch

HIM and Ville's voice in general got me over alot of bad relationships and several tragic points in my life.

@Ch3rryKiraYlonen

Me too, since I know me as a person , only thing good its his music, my dark years in adolescence with my family and personal problems and a huge depression and anxiety , I spend my years with his songs in my personal "happy" space
