Run Boy Run
Escape the Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of a Troubled Heart
Lyrics
Run boy run, run till you see what you have done
Encouragement to flee or escape until the consequences of actions are realized
Unload your gun, I’m not a target of anyone
Metaphorically, disarm yourself as I am not a target for hostility
Heal yourself, you don’t want my heart to hurt like hell
Take care of yourself, as your actions could cause pain or distress to others
Run boy run, run till you see what you have done
Repeat of line 1, emphasizing the urgency to run and face consequences
I’m a lover, I’m a friend
Self-identification as someone caring and understanding
who tries to understand
Describing efforts to empathize and comprehend
the darkness in the eyes
Recognition of darkness or inner turmoil in another person
of a demon in the night
Depiction of a troubled or malevolent figure
Who are you
Questioning the identity of the person causing distress
I sue you
Suggesting legal action or recourse against the person causing harm
feeling blue
Feeling sad or down
due to you
Attributing emotional distress to the actions of someone else
Run boy run, run till you see what you have done
Reiteration of urging to run and face consequences
Clean cut boys, how can you claim to have no choice
Criticism of individuals who claim innocence despite their choices
I’ll shoot you down, I don’t want to fight another round
Desire to avoid conflict and violence despite feeling pushed
Run boy run, don’t make me show you how it’s done
Warning not to push to the point of demonstrating consequences
I’m a lover, i’m a friend
Reiteration of caring and understanding nature
who tries to understand
Continued effort to empathize and comprehend
the darkness in the eyes
Recognition of darkness or inner turmoil in another person (repeated)
of a demon in the night
Depiction of a troubled or malevolent figure (repeated)
Who are you
Questioning the identity of the person causing distress (repeated)
I sue you
Suggesting legal action or recourse against the person causing harm (repeated)
feeling blue
Feeling sad or down (repeated)
due to you
Attributing emotional distress to the actions of someone else (repeated)
Run boy run, run till you see what you have done
Final urging to confront consequences
Run boy run, don’t make me show you how it’s done
Warning against provoking a demonstration of consequences (repeated)
