Lyrics

I'm breaking out of these four walls

I desire to break free from confinement symbolized by these four walls.

Where do I begin

Expressing uncertainty about where to start the journey of liberation.

I'm breaking out of trying to make it in

Trying to escape societal expectations and norms to pursue personal desires.

I just want the wind and rain

Longing for natural elements like wind and rain, suggesting a desire for simplicity.

And time to waste with you

Wishing for leisure time spent with a loved one.

Let's get out of here

Expressing a strong desire to leave the current situation.

An get us some clear blue

Seeking a destination with clear blue skies, implying a serene and idyllic place.


Baby keep in running

Encouraging a continuous journey, possibly both physically and metaphorically.

Running to the hills

Suggesting running towards hills, which could symbolize a place of escape or refuge.

Let's find ourselves some quiet

Expressing a desire to find peace and tranquility.

Let's find ourselves some still

Seeking a calm and quiet environment.

Baby keep on running

Encouraging continuous movement towards a better place or state.

Running to the hills

Reiterating the theme of escaping to the hills for a better life.

I don't wanna think no more

I just wanna feel

I'm drowning in a concrete dream

Feeling overwhelmed by a reality dominated by artificial and materialistic elements.

Of neon skin and bone

Describing a dream-like state characterized by artificial and superficial aspects.

So I'm swapping these red bricks

Choosing to exchange urban life (red bricks) for a more natural and authentic one (sand and stone).

for sand and stone

Further emphasizing the shift from urban to natural surroundings.


This place ain't been bad to us

Acknowledging that the current place has been satisfactory but not emotionally fulfilling.

But we don't call it home

Not considering the current place as a true home.

Let's get out of here

Expressing a strong desire to leave the current location.

An go some place we know

Planning to go to a familiar and comforting place.


And we go and we go and we go and we go
