I believe this song deals a lot with the Farro's departure. It was a rough time for the band, and they always express their frustration in song. "The grass wasn’t green enough here After watching you with my tears I’m not sure where you went We are, just past tense" This refers to although Hayley tried as hard as she could to make everything alright for the band, Josh and Zac were not happy. Meaning the grass wasn't green enough. When they left and the blog came out, Hayley was shocked that it ended so badly and harshly, which refers to not being sure where they went. And now that things have gone so bad, they're only past tense. Things will never be the same. Ever. "The snakes, they are slithering in Chasing me to my end Can’t say where that is I’m running again" The blog post forced Hayley to confront a lot of things that she didn't feel was necessary. Now everybody is accusing her of dominating the band and being selfish. Instead of dealing with all this negative feedback, Hayley just wants to run away from it all just like they did in 2008 when they canceled to 2008 tour and Hayley never opened up til the recording of Brand New Eyes. Oh, when I get there it won’t be far enough I’m a renegade It’s in my blood If ever I get there It won’t be fast enough I’m a renegade I always was This chorus is great. Although Hayley keeps trying, she will always be a renegade to them. But she is who she is - its in her blood. Hayley accepts that things were not good enough for the brothers and she can't change that they weren't because she can't change who she is. "Well, your spark never lit up the fire Though we tried and tried and tried The wind came through your lungs A hurricane from your tongue" Again, Hayley is trying. But we see the Farros were not in her eyes. Their blog caused the split to be unnecessarily nasty which caused "a hurricane" from their tonuge. "I’ll keep your secrets with me Right behind my teeth The anger, the anchor I’ll sail more further on Ah, on" Hayley will be civil and not reveal anything bad about their past as they have done to her. Because by doing so, they are letting their anger hold them back. Their anger is the anchor because it's them holding the grudge. And by them holding the grudge..it's only hurting on person - themselves. Hayley will let go of it and let the past be the past to sail further on. I’ll keep running I’ll keep running again keep running I’ll keep running running, running Keep running, running running Hayley sings this part perfectly to fit in with the emotion. It shows her breaking out that she is running from it and how frustrated she is with herself for doing so. But then she breaks out into the chorus to let fans know she's not running anymore. (: |
