Doip. It should be "Can't escape from yourself because you don't run."
I love this song. The message seems to be both that staying in the past can only be detrimental, and that the majority of your healing/damage is done by yourself.
The lyrics "You never see the present 'cause you're always looking back... counting down the seconds to a heart attack" strike a particularly strong note for me. In the last 5 years of his life, my dad started drinking on top of prescription narcotics, driving him to be abusive... his considerable share of personal demons from his past didn't help any either. He started getting better, but he couldn't forgive himself for what he'd done despite us having already done so. He kept eating unhealthily and drinking on top of narcotics, and died of a heart attack at the age of 45. It's pretty shocking how close this song hits to home, and makes me cry frequently.
Anyways, sorry for the rant. Long story short, excellent song.
