about

Run around embodies musical inspiration meshing portions of Robyn's past, as his musical journey from the earlier 90's carried him through a wave of emo-punk and bands from Sub pop records into more psychadelic and atmospheric realms of ¨wall of sound¨ dream rock and shoegaze. Symbolically, the electronic elements at the beginning of the song become overruled by guitar and effect-driven sounds, implying a deeper direction in Robyn's love for music not solely based on synths, computers, and electro beats, but rather an embellishment of the natural instruments and live playing as principal importance.
Poetically, the lyrics take on a different message, being that the contemporary educational institutions in many ways still fall short of providing a more universal education about life, what is important, and the severity of consequences involved with just ¨fitting into¨a pocket of society to fuel an economic machine steering all of humanity into a gravely negative direction.

lyrics

We;re educated to fall below what we are capable of being. Now you're giving me the run around of how all of us should fit into society as it stands. There's a consequence of letting go of the feelings when we lose control. Is it all the same to you? Nothing left to do? Nothing left to say, like there's no escape? How many out there are thinkin' if they wait, the world will come together on its own? Still you're givin' me the run around, you say I'm wastin' all my time in a bar playin' rock n roll and sayin' fuck it all. What do you want???
