The background: "I know it's out there!" goes the arresting refrain to Vision Kicks, the debut single from Vulkano. If you took Ikona Pop's cheeky surliness and spliced it with Savages at their most savage, i.e. as they sound on Husbands, you might end up with something like Vulkano. That's in our dreams and being generous. Sometimes they're simply quirky, giggly riot grrrls or purveyors of banal sub/pop-goth, but they've definitely got potential. And when they get the balance right, as Depeche Mode once said, they combine the chilling with the commercial, even if they sound less like the Mode than they do Clare Grogan squawking and yelping over the Cure's A Forest.

"Erupting from the wake of the Swedish wonder band Those Dancing Days, Vulkano is the dark wild side of Cissi Efraimsson's, Lisa Pyk Wirström and Rebecka Rolfart's songwriting. Vulkano is an outbursting trio pushing punk forward in their own charming way while still maintaining a pop sensibility with catchy riffs and lyrics. It's uncompromising, extrovert and maximalist."

Runaway
Vulkano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is perfectly unchangeable
All good, too predictable
I am restless, I'm bored
Take me anywhere I've never been before
Honey I was never lying to you
When I said baby I was born this way
Try and chase me very far away from
Runaway, catch me if you can
Runaway, catch me if you can
I'm a runaway, I'm a runaway
I'm a runaway, I'm a runaway
Catch me, catch me if u can
Dream away dreaming everyday and every time we meet irresistible
I am climbing the walls take me anywhere I've never been so sure
Honey I was never lying to you when I said baby I was born this way
Try and chase me very far away from
When I said baby I was born this way
Runaway, catch me if u can
Runaway, catch me if I can
I'm a runaway, I'm a runaway
I'm a runaway, I'm a runaway
Catch me, catch me if u can
Born free and that's what I'm gonna be
I was born free and that's what I'm gonna be
Born free that's what I'm gonna be
Born free and that's what I'm gonna be
Runaway, catch me if u can
Runaway, catch me if u can
I'm a runaway, I'm a runaway
I'm a runaway, I'm a runaway
Catch me, Catch me if u can
Runaway
Runaway
Runaway
Catch me if u can
The lyrics of Vulkano's song "Runaway" express a sense of restlessness and boredom. The singer is yearning for adventure and excitement, and is willing to take risks and explore new horizons. The chorus of the song, "Runaway, catch me if you can," echoes this sentiment, inviting listeners to join the journey of self-discovery.
The singer acknowledges that she was "born this way," implying a natural inclination towards restlessness and a desire for change. However, this desire is met with opposition, as the singer feels trapped, climbing the walls and seeking a way out. The dreamy lines "Dream away dreaming everyday and every time we meet irresistible" add a layer of poeticism and suggest that the singer's restlessness may stem from a deeper sense of dissatisfaction.
Overall, the song celebrates the idea of being "born free" and embracing one's natural urges towards adventure and exploration. It encourages listeners to take risks and follow their instincts, even if it means being a bit of a "runaway."
