I've got my things packed
My favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag
Climb out the window
All the pictures and pain
I left behind
All the freedom and fame
I've gotta find
And I wonder
How long it'll take them to notice that I'm gone
And I wonder
How far it'll take me
To run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way; I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell
I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say, not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl
I've got to run away
I'm too young to be
Taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe
All this hypocrisy
And I wonder
How long it'll take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder
If I was a mistake
I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped inside my head
Tell me to run before I'm dead
Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive
Maybe the world will know one day
Why won't you help me run away?
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
I could sing for change
On a Paris street
Be a red light dancer
In New Orleans
I could start again
To the family
I could change my name
Come and go as I please
In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you?
Wasn't it you?
Wasn't it you that made me run away?
I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way; I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell
I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say, not as you do
Never be your perfect girl
I've got to run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
This life makes no sense to me
It don't make no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Life don't make any sense to me
My favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag
Climb out the window
All the pictures and pain
I left behind
All the freedom and fame
I've gotta find
And I wonder
How long it'll take them to notice that I'm gone
And I wonder
How far it'll take me
To run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way; I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell
I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say, not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl
I've got to run away
I'm too young to be
Taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe
All this hypocrisy
And I wonder
How long it'll take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder

But I know that I cannot go home

Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive

Run away
It don't make any sense to me
This life makes no sense to me
It don't make no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Life don't make any sense to me

This is just my interpretation;
In this song she is trying to run away from something which causes her pain, but I believe she is really running from herself. 'Wasn't it you that made me run away' is almost a question, trying to shift the blame onto somebody else. I think she is her own worst enemy in this song, but is searching for other people or things to blame her feelings on, not being able to cope with her emotions. Instead, she listened to the voice in her head telling her to 'run before [she's] dead'. She has lost control of her emotions and is searching for a way out of it, a new way of life. This could perhaps relate to the divorce of her parents, as she has referred to in many of her songs. P!nk is not only an artist, but a philosopher. She is deep, but I don't think she realizes it. Although her attitude is rather 'go with the flow', her songs tell a different story. She is very deep, and very complex.
"these Voices trapped inside my had, tell me to run b4 i'm dead' Not,
'These words are strapped inside my head Tell me to run before I'm dead'
&
'You can go your way, i'll meet you in hell' instead of
'Have it your way I'll meet you in hell'
I got those lines off the lyrics in the CD case. So yeaah.
Anywayyy its an excellent song, can really relate to P!nk's music. She's an amazing artist. Very powerful song once again. Good on her. I love it.
I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say not as you do
Never be your perfect girl
It just reminds me of the horrible secrets within my family, things I can never tell anyone else. And my mother and how vile she is...This song really just describes my life.
Taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe
All this hypocrisy
Wow. Don't you just love it when you've been thinking something for ages, and then you find it written down somehwere, in a song or a book, and it's perfect.
damn fucking right.
I hate how i feel like i want to leave my parents house, but i know that i cant because how could i pay for college. thats what they threaten me with, or what they would if i did runaway or move out. Sometimes i just dont care though. i listen to this song 50 times a day. seriously. at least today i did. i love it.
its just about how someones going to runaway from the pain at home and how she can't always be what her parents want her to be "ill never be your perfect girl"
she feels that running away is the only thing left that she can do
"ive GOT to run away"
i absolutely love pink. and this isnt really my "type" of music, but she is so amazing.
And it relates so much with my life..
sometimes all you want to do is to runaway because nothing makes sense anymore, you want something bigger for you, you want to feel free but most important you want to be yourself
And that is exactly one of the things that i most love about pink
she is always herself!!! and she never pretends to be something that she is not
