Runaway
Chasing Youth: Mica Ferreira's Runaway Echoes the Battle Against Time
Lyrics
We've been here for too long
We've been in this situation for an extended period.
Same old car, broken phone
We have the same old car and a broken phone.
Getting lost into the nights
We often get lost in the nights, perhaps due to a sense of not belonging.
Cause we feel we don't belong
We feel out of place and that we don't fit in.
Heard them say we were supposed to change,
Others have mentioned that we were meant to change.
Is it me or are we still the same?
Questioning whether we have changed or remained the same.
Cause standing here feels so strange
Feeling strange about our current situation while standing here.
We want to leave this place behind
We desire to leave our current place or situation.
Rewrite the story of our lives
Expressing a desire to rewrite and reshape the narrative of our lives.
Enjoy what's left of being young
Wanting to enjoy the remaining time of youth.
And runaway take on the night
Expressing the desire to run away and embrace the night.
It drives us crazy getting old
The process of aging is causing distress and frustration.
It's a shame we can't go on
Regret or sadness that we cannot continue in our current situation.
Seventeen with hopes and dreams
Reminiscing about being seventeen with hopes and dreams.
Still sneaking around for drinks
Still engaging in youthful activities, like sneaking around for drinks.
Screaming on top of our lungs
Engaging in energetic activities, like screaming along to a favorite song.
Words to our favourite song
Fond memories of singing words to a favorite song.
Running down some hallways in the UK
Recalling a specific experience of running down hallways in the UK.
3 am, we are dancing in the rain
Describing a moment of joy, dancing in the rain at 3 am.
When did all this time go to waste?
Reflecting on the perception that time has been wasted.
We want to leave this place behind
Expressing again the desire to leave the current place or situation.
Rewrite the story of our lives
Reiterating the wish to reshape the story of our lives.
Enjoy what's left of being young
Continuing the desire to enjoy the remaining time of being young.
And runaway take on the night
Expressing the urge to run away and face the challenges of the night.
It drives us crazy getting old
Reiterating the distress caused by the process of aging.
How did we get it so wrong?
Questioning how things went wrong in our lives.
Hiding in someone's room
Describing a situation of hiding in someone's room.
Taking over the stage
Recalling moments of taking over the stage, perhaps in a metaphorical sense.
Getting screamed at for our mistakes
Facing criticism or consequences for past mistakes.
Know the city too well
Being familiar with the city but choosing to run away.
So we're running away
Deciding to escape and run away from the current situation.
But I'll do it all again with you
Expressing a willingness to go through it all again with someone.
We want to leave this place behind
Repeating the desire to leave the current place behind.
We want to leave this place behind
Reiterating the wish to leave the current place or situation.
Rewrite the story of our lives
Restating the desire to reshape the narrative of our lives.
Enjoy what's left of being young
Continuing the desire to enjoy the remaining time of being young.
And runaway take on the night
Repeating the urge to run away and confront the night.
It drives us crazy getting old
Reiterating the distress caused by the process of aging.
It's a shame we can't go on
Expressing regret or sadness that we cannot continue in our current situation.
It drives us crazy getting old
Reiterating the distress caused by the process of aging.
How did we get it so wrong?
Questioning how things went wrong in our lives.
