“Run” tells of an escape from a dream-like stupor with vaguely political themes. It is unique among Foo Fighters music in that it has a heavier sound than the norm.
The track marks the band’s first piece of music to be released since their brief ‘indefinite hiatus’ after their 2015 EP Saint Cecilia...
[Intro]
Wake up
Run for your life with me
Wake up
Run for your life with me
[Chorus]
In another perfect life
In another perfect light
We run
We run
We run
[Verse 1]
The rats are on parade, another mad charade
What you gonna do?
The hounds are on the chase, everything's erased
What you gonna do?
I need some room to breathe, you can stay asleep
If you wanted to
They say that's nothing's free, you can run with me
If you wanted to
Yeah, you can run with me
If you wanted to
[Pre-Chorus]
Before the time runs out
There's somewhere to run
Wake up
Run for your life with me
Wake up
Run for your life with me
[Chorus]
In another perfect life
In another perfect light
We run
We run
We run
Run
[Verse 2]
We are the nation's stakes, if everything's erased
What you gonna do?
I need some room to breathe, you can run with me
If you wanted to
Yeah, you can run with me
If you wanted to
[Pre-Chorus]
Before the time runs out
There's somewhere to run
Wake up
Run for your life with me
Wake up
Run for your life with me
[Chorus]
In another perfect life
In another perfect light
We run
We run
We run
Run!
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Bridge]
Wake up
Run for your life with me
Wake up
Run for your life with me
[Chorus]
In another perfect life
In another perfect light
We run
We run
We run
Run!
Run was written by Chris Shiflett & Pat Smear & Nate Mendel & Rami Jaffee & Taylor Hawkins & Dave Grohl.
Run was produced by Greg Kurstin.
Foo Fighters released Run on Thu Jun 01 2017.
Dave calls for everyone to enjoy their life because we have limited time; he wants everyone to have their own judgment and do not do what everyone tells you to do. Do not comfort yourself with normality, live your life freely; run with them and enjoy life.
The song can also be interpreted in politi...
The band simply released an image of the Grammy in the style of Concrete and Gold with a “thank you”.
Sometimes I wonder if fucking “Everlong” is too old for us to play now. You see kids in the audience singing along to “Run” but if we bust out “This Is a Call” they’re like ‘What’s this fucking new Foo Fighters song.’ It’s weird. We’ve been in a band 22 years. It really is a long time.
