Run
Escape the Shadows: Unraveling the Journey in John Miles' 'Run'
Lyrics
You're on your own, back on the street,
You're facing challenges alone, without support, possibly in a difficult situation.
Out in the cold you feel the heat.
Despite being in unfavorable conditions, you're experiencing intense pressure.
One way ticket to nowhere at your feet.
Feeling directionless, as if you have no clear path or purpose.
Take what you need, a word to the wise,
Advice to take only what's necessary, indicating practicality and wisdom.
Only the weak need alibis.
Suggesting strength lies in facing truth without excuses or justifications.
Stakes are too high, zero again,
Consequences are too severe, and the situation is at ground zero or starting over.
No second chances at the end.
No opportunities for redemption or do-overs at the conclusion.
Run, tell me where you're going to run to?
A call to action, asking where one intends to escape or seek refuge.
Run, oh, oh, oh where you're going to run to?
A repetition of the urgency to know the destination of escape or refuge.
Where you're going to run?
Reiteration, seeking clarity on the intended destination for escape.
Born on the wrong side of the track
Being disadvantaged or facing challenges from birth.
Never defend, you just attack.
Choosing offense over defense as a way of dealing with situations.
Don't try turning around, you can't look back.
A warning against revisiting or dwelling on the past; forward motion is essential.
Nothing to win, nothing to lose,
Emphasizing a state of having nothing to gain or lose in the current circumstances.
Tell me you're wrong to light the fuse
Acknowledging the realization of making a mistake or initiating a risky action.
Head in the sand, we can survive,
Opting for ignorance or denial to endure difficulties.
One step ahead to stay alive.
The need to maintain a constant forward movement to survive.
Run, tell me where you're going to run to?
Repeated inquiry about the destination or escape route.
Run, oh, oh, oh where you're going to run to?
Reiteration of the urgency regarding the destination of escape or refuge.
Where you're going to run?
Repeated emphasis on seeking clarity on the intended destination for escape.
Tell me where you're going to run to?
Continued inquiry about the destination or escape route.
Run, tell me where you're going to run to?
Reiteration of the urgency regarding the destination of escape or refuge.
Run, oh, oh, oh where you're going to run to?
Continued emphasis on seeking clarity on the intended destination for escape.
Where you're going to run?
Repetition, seeking information about the intended escape route.
Tell me where you're going to run to?
Continued inquiry about the destination or escape route.
Run, oh, oh, oh where you're going to run to?
Continued emphasis on seeking clarity on the intended destination for escape.
Where you're going to run?
Repeated inquiry about the destination or escape route.
Tell me where you're going to run to?
Final plea seeking information about the intended escape route.
