| Again this follows the dominant theme of the album of bad relationships. I saw this kind of thing happen to a friend of mine and to some extent something similar happened to me. The relationship has run its course and gone bad and is at its end, but everyone you know is connected in some way to your former partner and has turned against you or has become bothersome and it gets to the point where you are just fed up with everyone you know in the city and the only escape from the turmoil is to leave town and start over with a new life, putting your old life behind you. I have to admit I miss this friend who left town to start fresh, but I don't blame her for going. I have had similar problems with our former friends playing their games. I haven't left town, but I did cut myself off from those people and started a new life with my new wife who also had problems with that same bunch before I met her. We are now happy and free from those toxic "friends" so yeah getting back to the point. This song is about her starting fresh after having a bad time with a guy and some bad friends. | |

| She's tired of the superficiality of the city and how her friends drag her down. She's over the guy and is leaving. The chorus is like she's calling out to others who feel the same way that they can all get out before it's too late, before their sucked into that crap. | |

| Natalie Is expressing her views on people. And how they can change, i feel in this song. When she says Funny how those friends forget you when you tire of their games its as if her once, "friends" are using her, once she "tires of their games"they drop her. They hold her back when she tries to run... they're holding her back, from whatever it is she is trying to achieve. Throughout the song, the line "they pull you back as you try to run" changes to "you pull me back as i try to run"...suggesting how the person whom she thought was, no longer is. The entire song, in my opinion is talking about city people in general, and her attitude towards them. Lou xXx | |
