Run Away
paul rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Grey walls, greys dock, grey house
locked up in this hole its impoosible to flee
when it's dark, even the smallest spark
could make us all free
let set this prison on fire, start a riot, we go higher all the way
let our freedom sing louder, like a, let the voices lead us there
we can run away
far away, find a place, a sweet escape
we can run away
far away, find a place, sweet escape
we can run away x3
for you and me, there's much more to see
rolls where we roll that leads us to a place we'll never know
if you belive, that we can break free, it's all waiting on us
lets set this prison on fire, start a riot, we go higher all the way
let our freedom sing louder, like a let the voices lead us there
we can run away
far away, find a place, a sweet escape
we can run away
far away, find a place, sweet escape
we can run away x2
lets set this prison on fire, start a riot, we go higher all the way
let our freedom sing louder, like a let the voices lead us there
we can run away
far away, find a place, a sweet escape
we can run away




far away, find a place, sweet escape
we can run away x3

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Paul Rey's "Run Away" speak to the desire to break free from the monotony and restrictions of everyday life. The repetition of the word "grey" in the opening lines sets up a bleak and oppressive atmosphere, but the chorus offers an escape to a place of freedom and possibility. The idea of setting the prison on fire and starting a riot could be interpreted as a metaphor for breaking down societal norms and expectations that hold us back.


The lines "let our freedom sing louder, like a, let the voices lead us there" suggest that the way forward is through collective action and the power of our voices. The repetition of "we can run away" reinforces the idea that there is a way out if we believe in ourselves and take action.


Overall, the song encourages us to break free from the confines of our current situation and seek something better. It reminds us that we have the power to make a change and create a more fulfilling life for ourselves.
