Man On The Run
Zeno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had found it in the end
A love of my own
The end to lonely nights
Thought I had a home
I see the mountainside
Golden in the sun
But this is not my morning
I know I have to run

Sometimes I am wondering
Ooh, what have I done
I'm cast into deserted land
Where do I belong

Man on the run
Condemned for his love for love
Man on the run
He's wanted for love for love

Girl, what have I done
You hate me for love
Believe me, I regret
If I have gone too far
Traces in the sand
Homeless and alone
An out cast in the desert
A man all on his own

And so I will keep on wandering
Homeless and alone
I'm cast into deserted land
Where do I belong





Man on the run.

Overall Meaning

In Zeno's song "Man On The Run," he describes the feeling of being a stranger in a strange land. The opening lines suggest that he had finally found love after many lonely nights but soon found himself on the run. He sees the beauty of the mountains but cannot enjoy it because he knows he must continue to flee. The lyrics suggest that he is trying to escape from something, possibly the consequences of his actions, but it is not clear what he has done.


As the song continues, the sense of isolation and desperation becomes more pronounced. The chorus repeats the phrase "Man on the run," emphasizing the singer's lack of home and safety. He seems to be wanted for his love for love, a somewhat cryptic phrase that could suggest that he has done something wrong in the name of love, or that he is simply trying to escape a dangerous love affair.


The second verse brings in the voice of a woman who is angry at him for something he has done. He regrets whatever it was, but it is not clear what he has done to make her hate him so much. The final lines of the song suggest that he will continue to wander alone in the desert, searching for a home and a place to belong.


Overall, "Man On The Run" is a poignant meditation on the search for love and belonging in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving.

After a long search, I finally found love


A love of my own
Someone to call my own, to share my life with


The end to lonely nights
No more feeling lonely and empty, now that I have love


Thought I had a home
I thought I found a place to belong, with the person I love


I see the mountainside
I see the beauty in the world around me


Golden in the sun
The mountainside shines brightly in the morning sun


But this is not my morning
Despite the beauty around me, I know I must leave and run away


I know I have to run
I must leave and escape, even though it hurts to do so


Sometimes I am wondering
I question myself and my decisions


Ooh, what have I done

I am sorry for my actions, and wish I could take them back


If I have gone too far
I realize that I may have crossed a line that I cannot come back from


Traces in the sand
My footprints in the sand are the only signs of my existence


Homeless and alone
I have nowhere to go, no one to turn to, and no place to call my own


An outcast in the desert
I am a stranger in a strange land, an outsider in a place where I don't belong


A man all on his own
I am completely alone, with no one to rely on but myself


And so I will keep on wandering
I will keep moving forward, searching for a place where I belong
