| Sarah Blasko – We Won't Run Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Really good songs can have multiple meanings that can be personal BUT In my opinion this song is mainly about we as a people/planet/race finally standing up and opening up our eyes to what is really going on all around us. “As plain as the day, the night makes you pay, for what was hidden underneath” “We won’t run, we can fight, all that keeps us up at night” I think this is about how our subconscious minds are plainly seeing what is all around us. By this I mean the very negative behavior, images, and so on...whether they are in a magazine, on TV , or happening on the street we are walking down. This can mean anything from fiction to images of war that we see far too often. Many of us don’t pay attention to all this, we are blinded, distracted, or sadly desensitized. So, in turn, you might have nightmares or thoughts that keep you up at night because your brain has in fact taken all that in whether you were aware of it or not. “But I always thought you knew yourself better than anyone. But the season was lost, when you started listening to everyone else” This goes in line with my theory on the song because all of what we see and hear tells us that we are not good enough, pretty enough, and so on. It tears us down so that we buy into whatever it is they are selling (marketing) or tears us down so they can feel better about themselves (non-marketing). This can also mean that you don’t act or speak up because you have succumbed to what everyone else is saying. Cast in this devil, I’ve got the metal. The means to makes things right. Tired of Guilt, tired of being sorry, haven’t we suffered enough? I think this is saying we are the ones are responsible so don’t play the blame game. Each one of us has the power to change and start making better choices and stand up to the injustices we see and hear. If you do that, you will not have to feel guilty or sorry because you know you did the right thing. “But Oh, that/then our eyes will be open” “….We can fight all that we can bring to light” This is pretty much self explanatory. When we realize everything that is happening all around us and we open our eyes, we can bring all this into light. Drag the dirty human laundry out into the open, so to speak, and start to change ourselves. Like the lyrics say: “Let’s not waste a minute more IN DENIAL” |
