| Soul Asylum – Runaway Train Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
to those of you who say the song is about depression, i think you're only half right. it seems to me that the song is about depression/sorrow and the like and using insanity as a "way out". i mean, this part: "it seems no one can help me now i'm in too deep there's no way out this time i have really lead myself astray" it seems that 'astray' means straying away from the norm, straying away from reality. because reality is too painful for him, maybe? anyway, moving along... "i can go where noone else can go i know what no one else knows" that part's sung with so much soul, it really stands out. it doesn't seem as dark and sorrowful as the rest, more of a "i'm different" feel...mysterious, in a sense. the whole "runaway train" part seems like a big metaphor to me. when i picture a train for this song, it's out of control, which adds to the "insane" image I have from this song. plus the "runaway" part of the title--running away from reality. but the following part really does it for me: "little out of touch, little insane it's just easier than dealing with the pain" it sums up the whole song. a little out of touch with reality, a little bit insane. it's a way with dealing with the pain. and the runaway train, the insanity, is a way out. anyway, beautiful song. one of my favorites! |

These lyrics are a bit off. I just listened to the song a few times (i found the leak!!) and here are the correct lyrics: i'm back, back in town and everything has changed I feel, feel let down the faces stay the same I see, see shadows of who we used to be when I drive, drive so slow, through this memory when we were only kids and we were best of friends and we hoped for the best and let go of the rest I heard, heard myself say things I'd take back If I could, could re-tale and make these stories last I see, see shadows of who we'll always be when I drive, drive these roads that made our memories when we were only kids and we were best of friends and we hoped for the best and let go of the rest the shadows and regrets we let go of the rest everything has changed, the faces stay the same X2 when we were only kids and our time couldn't end and how tall did we stand with the world in our hands we were only kids and we were best of friends and we hoped for the best and let go of the rest The Shadows and Regrets, we let go of the rest X2 |
