Run Boy Run Lyrics

I think the song is about the journey from childhood to adulthood. In the video we see the little boy coming out from a single building ending with what looks like a big city, I think this means that the boys world is expanding, and he can't face it as he is. "This world is not made for you" so he has to run, he gains a sword and a shield in the process of running, the experiences he needs to face this new world. The "child" persona has to hide for now, and he will return but in the form of an adult, I think this refers to the age where a person is no more a child but not yet an adult, which is a confusing phase, but one must do some running and growing up to triumph and this process is considered natural "This race is a prophecy"

My Interpretation

I agree with this, because I heard that the storyline of "The Golden Age" is that a boy grows up because of heartbreak, and his inner child goes away.

i think you are right and all the little monsters are his obstwiicals in life and like some people will help and others will try to stop you

I think it’s about a boy running from a Christian church
