i love how they used this song in this sequence. it sold the show and the song to me hook, line, and sinker. it's a very cinematic song, like that whole album, and is used in a ton of media.
and as ever, watch the live performance of this song. with an orchestra, bomb ass percussionists, and a childrens chorus. and the audience participation! (cw flashing)
Bye bye baby blue/I wish you could see the wicked truth/Caught up in a rush, it's killing you/Screaming at the sun, you blow into/Curled up in a grip when we were us/Fingers in a fist like you might run/I settle for a ghost I never knew/Superparadise I held on to
"It's just like. The angstiest of songs. If you litsen to it you get it."
Run Boy Run (WoodKid)
Tomorrow is another day/And you won't have to hide away/You'll be a man, boy/But for now it's time to run, it's time to run!
"I just love the way the long, swooping lyrics are contrasted with a lot of short, quick, frantic percussion instrumentation. The strings and wind instruments also compliment/contrast the other parts of the song well by either accompanying the vocals or replacing them during the instrumental sections."

Now that I look at it again, there are elements I like. But boy that neckline overwhelms everything.
