LINKIN PARK

- Runaway Lyrics

Graffiti decorations under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension on top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true

Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door and open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true

Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door and open up my mind

I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)

I'm gonna run away and open my mind
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)

I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door and open up my mind

I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind

What is the meaning behind Runaway lyrics?


When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, Linkin Park's song 'Runaway' investigates the internal struggle of a person who feels wrongfully accused and seeks to cut themselves off from the blame and the tension that come along with it. The lyrics depict a yearning for truth, understanding, and a new viewpoint which are all represented by the metaphor of running away to cleanse one's mind and accustom it to the reality of the non-existence of lies and negativity. Runaway lyrics by the band are full of emotions like angst, contemplation, rage, liberation, and shattered love. The song also discusses the quest for truth, escape and freedom as well as betrayal and mistrust. The lyrics imply an atmosphere of tension, questioning trust and a strong wish to escape which can be considered unsuitable for very young children unless they have a parent's guidance. There are no direct mentions of violence, sex, or drug use but the emotional intensity coupled with the theme of disillusionment may lead some listeners to think that parental discretion is advised for this material.

you can't judge people through a song, I'm not a social reject or slit my wrists or anything you said...

This is the kind of crap that tight pants wearing, slit wristed, nobody will miss me when I'm dead, social rejects listen to when they're sitting on park benches and crying. Sounds good though.
