I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?
Identities assume us
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy
I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness a name
But you ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?
We're all ok, until the day we're not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on
We ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?
Who’s here in 2024
This song takes me back to the day when me and my friends were all one and when we were what we wanted to be but now we've all gone in diffrent directions.
It's a great song, i just gotta be careful listening to this song or it'll reduce me to a blubbering buffoon.
To me this song makes me think about all the dead friendships I had once had. Especially with my best friend, sadly, we grew apart and no longer talk. So now I'm friendless.
I think it's supposed to be "You gave my emptiness a name" be 100% sure before you get it tattooed on.
Always reminded of my brothers in high school. Best friends I ever had. Now I don't see them ever anymore and all my friends are essentially gone because the real world happened.
40, 50 years from now, when I'm an old man and hear this song again for the first time in years, im gunna crack a smile as big as the sky. Rise Against, your tunes will always be embedded in my soul. cheers.
"We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns..." the best sentence of this song, and the second version, "I brought down the sky, for you, and all you did was shrug?" I've experienced that, broke my fucking heart... -.-'
I like "We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns, but even them we should've stayed" best : )
"I brought down the sky for you, but all you did was shrug" - Favorite line but i'm not sure why, awesome song, rise against are so good.
Shit hits home just listening to this after all these years, I was about 15-16 when I first heard this song, now I am almost 30... and all these memories just come back, friends I' ve lost, memories I made, and all what I' ve learned and experienced growing up... I feel for all of you feeling the same as I am ❤
This sing is about all that is tangible from, arguably, the most life defining relationship I've ever had -- save my wife, in the present.
This song is about fucking life man. Growing older and wiser from the person and people that we once were. People coming and going. Realizing all the dumb shit, the good, the bad, and all the tiny yet important memories. How funny it is and how appreciative we become of the past.
"what are we running from" question of the decade
Listening to this in the car with my dad after a nice outing in the evening hits different
i dont think i'll ever get tired of this song
my eyes will always tear up to this song.
It actually says "you gave my emptiness a name" rather than "..away" such good lyrics in this song, rise against is amazing.
This song and savior are my ringtones :]
"i burnt down the sky for you but all you did was shrug"... AMAZING
