I Want to Run Away
Embracing Light in the Shadows: Adam Schrubbe's Poetic Escape
Lyrics
I want to run away from the darkness that awaits us
I have a strong desire to escape from an impending darkness.
Don't know if I can bear to be here when it takes us
I'm unsure if I can endure being present when this darkness consumes us.
But you already know
There's knowledge or awareness about the situation.
Well you already know
Reiteration of prior knowledge or awareness.
But you already know
-Well you already know
-It seems like there's no end to the layers of deception
Perception that deception has multiple layers and seems never-ending.
How can they still pretend like their heaven makes exceptions
Questioning the sincerity of those who act as if their version of paradise has exceptions.
But you already know
Reiteration of prior knowledge or awareness.
You already know
-But you already know
-You can see it in my eyes
Confirmation that the emotional state is visible through the eyes.
Ohhhhh
Expressive sound, possibly indicating intensity or emotion.
Ohhhhh
-Ohhhhhhhhh
Extended expressive sound, possibly emphasizing a point.
But you already know that I would never leave you all behind
Affirmation that the listener is already aware that the speaker would never abandon them.
I'd rather risk my name by standing by your side
Declaration that the speaker would rather risk their reputation by supporting the listener.
But you already know that I would never leave you all behind
Reiteration of the commitment to stay by the listener's side despite risks.
I'd rather risk my name by standing by your side
-And so you know that what I say is really true
Affirmation that the speaker's statements are genuine and true.
I swear I'll not be silent when they come for you
Swearing not to remain silent when adversity comes for the listener.
For you
Reiteration of the commitment to the listener.
I want to run away from the darkness that awaits us
Repetition of the desire to escape impending darkness.
Don't know if I can bear to be here when it takes us
Uncertainty about enduring the presence during the arrival of the darkness.
