Snow Patrol - Run

Isnt it funny how you listen to certain songs a million times and you identify certain feelings and thoughts to it. You listen to the words again and again and you believe that those words mean what you want them to mean and then you glorify the artist for being able to describe all those feelings, making you think you are not alone....

Well thats what I felt with 'Run'! The most awesome song by Snow Patrol. Imagination has always been my best friend and worst enemy, and in this case, Im not sure what exactly I should consider it to be in this situation. I must confess, I am also a Drama Queen, well I used to be... over the past one year I have become a bit more passive. Anyway back to the Point!! 

The song was my 'Break-up' song, and at the time I used to listen to it, I was very much in a relationship, BUT I used to listen to it and I used to feel so emotional. And yes, I was no where close to breaking up then! Can you imagine how weird I must have seemed to my now ex-boyfriend then! And he did! I used to make him listen to it as well(I tend to believe he did, because I used to play it once in a while, when I used to speak to him on the phone!!) One would wonder why would I want to listen to a break up song when I was very much in the relationship....I guess we could just call it intuition. Because we did break up eventually....and at the time, this song helped me get through it. 

Well Im never going to use that song again though! Because the 'Light' shined on me one night, when I was having a moment of enlightenment with my friends... we listened to that song and we watched the video....It all made sense to me.

The song is about a Bike. Now watch the video,read the lyrics... and tell me Im wrong!

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
