When I was writing Running Away, it carried a lot of meanings for me. It reflects different moments where I realised that how I look at something completely changes how I feel about it. You can see loss, or you can see opportunity. The situation might be the same, but the perspective changes everything.
There were times when I dulled pain, isolated myself, or hid away because I thought I had to be fixed before anyone could see me. That mindset kept me small. What I see now is that those moments weren’t failures, they were signals. They showed me what needed to change and what I was capable of facing.
I’ve been through relationships where I stayed too long because I believed that was all I deserved. But each time I reached that edge, something inside me spoke up. It said you don’t have to stay stuck in this story. That voice became stronger over time. It started guiding me toward curiosity instead of fear, toward understanding instead of escape.
That’s what Running Away represents, not the act of leaving, but the decision to see things differently. It’s about movement, awareness, and how choosing a new lens can turn pain into possibility. The song is that inner voice reminding me that change comes from seeing more clearly.
Every ending holds a beginning. When something falls apart, it clears space for what’s next . Running Away sits in that space between the two – the moment you realise that loss isn’t only about what’s gone, it’s also about what can now grow. The ending is just the point where awareness turns into movement.
Every lyric in Running Away is a conversation between who I was and who I’m becoming. It’s not about rejecting the past but recognising growth. Life will always have its mess, but perspective decides whether it feels heavy or freeing. When you shift how you see it, everything opens up.
