| What it means to me: (I like black and white (dreaming of black and white) You like black and white Run run away) **black and white are opposites, probably good & evil, right & wrong. He likes it when it is a sure thing and there is no gray area. Something is either right, or it is wrong, Since that rarely is the case though, he can just dream about it that way. (See chameleon Lying there in the sun All things to everyone Run run away) ** The chameleon is the gray area. People see things from their own perspective. It may be one color from one direction and a different color from another. But you know what is right, so Run away from the confusion. (If you're in the swing (money ain't everything) If you're in the swing Run run away) **Swing of life I think this means. Like "I got the swing of it" If you're following your heart you'll be in the swing of life, not care so much about money, and can run away from the confusion. (If you gotta crush (don't beat about the bush) When I gotta crush Run run away Oh now can't you wait (love don't come on a plate) Oh now can't you wait Run run away) **Follow your heart, don't let all the factors and possibilities keep you back, go for it, damn the torpedoes, all that. | |

| Please correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I get out of it: I love black and white (dreaming of black and white) means boy or girl. (gay or straight) See chameleon lying there in the sun means someone who is ready and goes either way. (gay or straight, boy or girl) All things to everyone means A: (all things) anything you like goes with B: any gender you like, boy or girl, gay or straight (the chameleon lying in the sun) Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE this song! And I certainly hope I did not violate the terms and conditions of this site, but THAT is what I THINK that song is about!!! I just HOPE I'm wrong! The reason why I think that is because I was rerecording the song in my home recording studio and when I was singing laying the vocal tracks down I was feeling a little creepy about the song!!!!! | |

| In my list of best tunes from the 1980's, this is on the list...run runaway. Crank this song whenever you hear it in your car. It perfectly blends the synthesizer, electric fiddle, and that shredding electric guitar into one perfectly blended concoction. All in all, it's one of the best songs from one of the worst decades in music. | |

| This is what i think the song means: These two people think in similar terms. They see the world in black and white. However he is warning the person(girl?) he is talking to, to stay away from people who try to be everything. These chameleons (probably a rich boyfriend) don't have a backbone, change with the wind, and can't be trusted. You can never truly see who they are. Though this "chameleon" may be rich, money doesn't mean much when you are lying in a swing with the person you really love. This is where it gets tricky. I think this person has a crush on this girl, and he is telling himself not to beat aroudn the bush and tell her. She, liking this rich man, expects everything (including love) to fall in her lap with little waiting and work. He is trying to tell her, love is not an object you can just take when you please. Love finds you. He wants this girl to leave the chameleon. I could be totally off base, I am trying to understand the song better. I love how the artist uses black and white in contrast to a chameleon. To understand that, is to understand the song. | |
