Runaway
Escaping Love's Deception: Wishbone Ash's Runaway Revelations
Lyrics
I thought I had been every place a man could be
I believed I had experienced every possible location.
'Till I met a lady who brought me to my knees
Until I encountered a woman who deeply affected me.
The day I stop loving is the day that I die
Expressing a commitment to love until death.
But now I'm running from her game 'cause the lady is a lie
Currently avoiding her deceptive actions because she represents falsehood.
I've got a choice
Faced with a decision.
Run away or be torn to shreds
Option to escape or face destruction.
I've got a life and I want to live
Possessing a life to live and not desiring death.
Don't want to be dead
Expressing a strong preference not to be deceased.
I met her down in the underground
Encountered the woman in an unconventional, secretive environment.
Got a taste of the low life, just creepin' around
Experienced a taste of a risky, morally questionable lifestyle.
I got what I came for and more, that's for sure
Obtained what I sought and more, leading to the decision to flee her manipulative tactics.
'Cause now I'm running from her game, can't take any more
Currently escaping her deceptive strategies, unable to endure further.
I've got a choice
Faced with a decision (repeated).
Run away or be torn to shreds
Option to escape or face destruction (repeated).
I've got a life and I want to live
Possessing a life to live and not desiring death (repeated).
Don't want to be dead
Expressing a strong preference not to be deceased (repeated).
When I first met you, baby
Reflecting on the initial encounter with the woman, acknowledging her strong nature.
I knew you could come on strong
Realization that the woman possesses a forceful and assertive demeanor.
But when you held a knife to me
Describing a threatening situation where the woman held a knife.
You know, that just ain't too friendly
Highlighting the unfriendly and dangerous nature of the woman's actions.
I've heard of liberated,
Referencing the concept of liberation, suggesting it doesn't fully capture the situation.
But that's so understated
Expressing that the term "liberated" is an understatement in this context.
I should have listened to them
Regretting not heeding warnings about the woman's mental instability.
When they told me you were crazy
Recalling advice that labeled the woman as mentally unstable.
And you said I was a runaway
Confirmation of being a runaway, possibly implying a decision to escape the relationship.
