Run Away
Yearning Escape: Sivert Høyem's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
How I long to get away
Expressing a strong desire to escape or find a way out of current circumstances.
I felt so lost today I almost prayed
Feeling deeply lost and considering prayer as a response to the challenges faced.
The children needed someone to go out with
Acknowledging the responsibility to be there for children but feeling unprepared or unable to fulfill that role.
But I was still a child and stayed inside
Reflecting on a reluctance to grow up and face adult responsibilities, choosing to remain in a child-like state.
And we all cried
Describing a shared emotional experience where everyone involved is crying.
Run away, run away - meet me at the dawning of the day
Reiterating the desire to escape, suggesting meeting at the beginning of the day as a symbolic fresh start.
Run away, run away - meet me at the dawning of the day
-With roses of neurosis on our cheeks
Using metaphorical language ("roses of neurosis") to describe emotional struggles endured for an extended period.
For weeks and weeks
-Oh, the sad life of the rich!
Commenting on the challenges and difficulties faced by the wealthy, emphasizing the universal nature of life's hardships.
Oh, the restraints of any life's a bitch
-The ties that bind, the bonds that hold you down
Highlighting the constraints and obligations that limit personal freedom, calling for unity despite differences.
Come and side with your house-terrorist
-Let's co-exist
-Run away, run away - meet me at the dawning of the day
Repeating the call to escape, inviting someone to join in breaking free from constraints.
Run away, run away - meet me at the dawning of the day
-Meet me with your best I love you still
Asking to be met with the best expression of love despite challenges and difficulties.
If you will
-Time has a will and a mind of its own
Reflecting on the unstoppable nature of time and the importance of making choices to avoid losing control.
Choose to choose, or you loose, when it moves you along
-When the day was still new and you'd still hear me sing
Recalling a time of bravery and challenging experiences, possibly hinting at a past relationship.
We did brave and terrible things
-Untie for me these knots of ill communication
Requesting the removal of barriers in communication and expressing a desire for positive change through a woman's touch.
And run a woman's hand across my face
-And see me change
-Run away, run away - meet me at the dawning of the day
Repeating the call to escape, emphasizing the importance of meeting at the beginning of the day.
Run away, run away - meet me at the dawning of the day
-The coast is clear and no one's seen us
Noting that obstacles always seem to arise, creating a barrier between individuals despite the desire to be together.
Something always comes between us
