Hey guys its bethkay and this is my entry for this week.
For this week i decided to sing runaway by Aurora.
Aurora's song "Runaway," written when she was just 11 or 12 years old, delves into themes of escapism, longing, and getaway.
The lyrics of "Runaway" express a desire to escape reality and return to a place of comfort and safety. Aurora has mentioned that the song is about "escaping reality and realizing you want to get home again," with "home" symbolizing a place where one feels at peace and accepted . She further elaborated that the song "puts people in the right mood and mind for the rest of [the album]" .
The song's imagery, such as "climbing trees," "painting pictures," and "dancing in the rain," evokes a sense of childhood innocence and a yearning for simpler times . The recurring line "Take me home" underscores the deep desire to return to a place of emotional security.
Lyrics
I was listening to the ocean
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
Then it vanished away from my hands, down
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting, impatient, for me, down
And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you
And for a moment I thought you were here
But then again, it wasn't true, down
And all this time I have been lying
Oh, lying in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf
And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
But I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home, home where I belong
Now take me home, home where I belong
Now take me home, home where I belong
Now take me home, home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
