Runaway Lyrics
I wanna know
The structure of your heart
Why do you tear
My broken soul apart?
Is it a dream?
Or my reality?
Love comes without
"after warranty"
Chorus
OoO I want to runaway
You tell me nothing else but lies
I'm singin'
OoO I try to runaway
Cause I just want to live my life
I'm singin'
OoO I want to runaway
As long as you are by my side
I'm singin'
OoO I try to runaway
But I can't find a place to hide
Verse 2
No, I am not
Your f*c*i*g second choice
No, I am not
Turning down my voice
Until you understand
There's nothing to command
Until you realize
That we can touch the skies
Can you feel?
It's out of control
Can you feel?
There's nothing at all
(fade into Chorus)
OoO I want to runaway
You tell me nothing else but lies
I'm singin'
OoO I try to runaway
Cause I just want to live my life
I'm singin'
OoO I want to runaway
As long as you are by my side
I'm singin'
OoO I try to runaway
But I can't find a place to hide
The structure of your heart
Why do you tear
My broken soul apart?
Is it a dream?
Or my reality?
Love comes without
"after warranty"
OoO I want to runaway
You tell me nothing else but lies
I'm singin'
OoO I try to runaway
Cause I just want to live my life
I'm singin'
OoO I want to runaway
As long as you are by my side
I'm singin'
OoO I try to runaway
But I can't find a place to hide
No, I am not
Your f*c*i*g second choice
No, I am not
Turning down my voice
Until you understand
There's nothing to command
Until you realize
That we can touch the skies
Can you feel?
It's out of control
Can you feel?
There's nothing at all
OoO I want to runaway
You tell me nothing else but lies
I'm singin'
OoO I try to runaway
Cause I just want to live my life
I'm singin'
OoO I want to runaway
As long as you are by my side
I'm singin'
OoO I try to runaway
But I can't find a place to hide

I feel that this song is about someone who loves someone, but they abuse her relationship and she just wants to get away from it. But she still has hope that he'll change...
I completely love this song. In fact, this has to be one of my favorite songs ever. This is odd for me, being that I usually am listening to extreme heavy metal. Somehow Groove Coverage, and other Dance/Trance bands have found their way into the structure of my heart.
The lyrics are so self explanatory that I shouldn't even try to expound upon them. Though the bridge lyrics may sound a little confusing, but I think she (Mell or Melanie Munch) is siting what possibilities they could actually have together. Perhaps Groove Coverage uses lyrics that appear to just rhyme and nothing more, but in their simplicity, they do paint a picture of some glorious fantasy to be attained.
Many times I listen to this song and feel a lot of rebellion in my spirit. "No I am not your fucking second choice! No I am not turning down my voice!" It's the same feeling you would get when everyone turns you away, but only the lowliest would want you, or someone who turned you away, and tried to find someone or something better than you, failed, and now is trying to get a second chance from you. And you say no! And you are not going to turn down your voice and just obey like a slave.
This song is seriously amazing. Even the first line -- which I promised earlier to not expound upon -- touches my heart. That is, it displays just how truly cruel this world is, and will tear you to pieces. And while the song may be referencing romance, love or sex, I do feel it goes beyond that. Just ask the entire world, "Why do you tear my broken soul apart? I want to know just what is going on in that heart of yours, because it is just a palace of ice and evil! Why? I am already broken down, yet you smash me into pieces again. Is this even real?"
Certainly you could view this from the perspective of an abusive lover, etc. But then again, is this entire world not just an "abusive lover." Nature itself is an abusive lover.
Don't you wish you could just runaway from it all? Runaway and leave all your worries and troubles behind? I do.
I want to runaway.
