What is the song Runaway by Native Sound System Ft Lojay and Ayra Starr about?
“The song “Runaway,” seems to talk about a distant romantic relationship between two people with intense feelings. They are separated from each other and are yet to meet face-to-face.
Their inability to meet each other is putting a strain on the relationship, since most of the time, they may be having the urge to kiss and touch, but can’t do it physically.
So, don’t run away in the context of this song is like imploring the one you love not to run away from the overwhelming feelings, not to avoid you or stay/pull away from you or switch up on you (that is to change one’s behavior) regardless of the distance and inability to meet in person.
Moreso, because the two lovers have never met face-face, they are tensed and don’t know if they are truly happy together, or if they are pleasing each other enough. They (the lady in particular) are not sure if it is real or if it is another relationship that may end up breaking either or both their hearts.
Runaway by Native Sound System Ft Lojay and Ayra Starr Lyrics Translation
Intro
Instrumentals
Verse 1 (Lojay)
Sweet love from Alabama
Know the distance is a little undeserved
So I’ve been sending kisses through my FaceTime
Cause I’m a little lonely
And I can’t say if you’re happy (Oh no)
Anxiety is coursing through your vein
Tell me if you’re looking for some closure
Girl I’ll understand you
Chorus (Lojay)
Don’t you runaway away away away ah
Runaway from me yeah
Don’t runaway away away away ah
Runaway from me yeah
Don’t runaway away away away ah
Runaway from me yeah
Verse 2 (Ayra Starr)
I don’t know
Don’t know the way
You want me to go
If I decide to go another way
Would you still want to follow, ah ah
Please don’t try to
No pull me back the other way
‘If you try to
I swear I’ll go another lane
Don’t know oh
I don’t know what you want from mе ah
Bridge (Lojay and Ayra Starr)
I’ll runaway no stopping
You can’t tell me nothing bout a deeper calling
Oh insidе my mind
How many feet I’ve fallen
Early in the morning
Chorus (Lojay)
Don’t you runaway away away away ah (Don’t run
Runaway from me yeah ah ah ah ah
Don’t runaway away away away ah
Runaway from me yeah
Don’t runaway away away away ah
Runaway from me yeah
Don’t run away from me
