Escaping Reality: The Endless Pursuit in Concrete Blonde's 'Run Run Run'
Lyrics
You go crazy
You experience a state of mental distress or madness.
You get tossed
You face challenges or difficulties that lead to being thrown or discarded.
You go running around
You engage in aimless or frantic activity.
Until you know you're gonna fall off
You continue running until you're on the brink of falling off or losing control.
He knows what you need he, knows how much, how much you want
The person referred to understands your desires and needs.
Knock familiar,
A familiar situation or feeling is encountered.
Welcome in,
You welcome this familiar situation.
Can't believe that you let him
You're surprised that you allowed this person to present you as a friend.
Introduce you as a friend.
Politeness is maintained in case you need assistance from this person again.
But you're always polite
You're always courteous, anticipating future needs.
In case you need him again
You might require help from this person again.

Hands are shaking. lips are cracked
Physical signs of distress, such as trembling hands and chapped lips.
You swore (I heard you swear) that you were
Confirmation or reminder of a past declaration of never returning.
Never coming back, but
The past commitment is challenged or broken.
One more time. just one more night
A plea for one more chance, one more night.
And once again, you lost the fight
Despite efforts, there is a recurring failure or loss.
