Time to run away

I got a little bit obsessed with Cellar Door, and although I love the words, and love the song 'Needle and the damage done'; I decided I hit my creative block because I couldn't personally relate to the lyrics.

I was listening to Runaway by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs earlier, and well I couldn't stop listening to it! The lyrics aren't particularly complex, but I like the simplicity of them... and they mean something to me. They've inspired me to do some self portraits. They should be quite personal, which is something really out of my comfort zone, but I have always wanted to work from a personal level, as I find as a viewer work like that the most intriguing.

Runaway - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
Want you to stay
Want keep you inside

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
Want you to stay
Want keep you inside

All along, not so strong without these open arms.
Hold on tight.
All along, not that strong without these open arms.
Lie beside.
All along, not so strong without these open arms.
Ride beside.

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize
