One of my dearest college friends died last week after taking a lot of pills with the intention of overdosing. When we attended the memorial service, his mother decided to play Runaway's outro (Kanye was his favorite artist) while the coffin was being slowly buried with dirt. Once the ceremony was over, I came to her and I asked why she picked that specific part of the song. She replied and I quote "Cause my son had depression and he always spoke freely about his struggles but no one paid attention to him. So, Kanye is saying a lot of things but we cannot understand him due to the recording quality, just like I didn't comprehend all of what my son told me" I couldn't stop my tears on my way back home
This song has helped me accept me for who I am instead of trying to be something im not. This song has seen me at my angriest and at rock bottom...i love this song.
Idk man this song is describing a toxic nigga who won’t change. Sometimes people should change into something they’re not. Like, for example, a non-toxic nigga
I felt this part: Never was much of a romantic I could never take the intimacy And I know it did damage 'Cause the look in your eyes is killin' me I guessin' you're at an advantage 'Cause you could blame me for everything And I don't know where I'ma manage If one day you just up and leave
For the people that dont understand the 2nd half, before he starts humming he says "ima be honest" basically hes gonna start speaking his mind and talking to the public, then he starts talking, but all we hear is humming (we are the public, fans, media) and we dont understand what hes trying to say and at the same time we do kinda understand some of it
I just discovered this song and it literally made me cry and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Almost lost my marriage two years ago because I was fucking up and being stupid. Brought me to tears thinking about what we went through. This song Is fucking ridiculously good. Any time a song can grab your emotions and pull them out, that song has done its job. Kayne is on another level.
The show Westworld made a very beautiful piano/orchestral rendition of this song for their soundtrack, brought tears to my eyes too. Also, if you search the video "Kanye West - Ghost Town but it will make you ascend to the fourth dimension", they mixed Runaway and his other song Ghost Town together, a very beautiful and well-done mashup. Hope everything is well with your marriage now.
I have the exact same stories about Brand New.. something so nostalgic about it that makes you sob uncontrollably when you hear it again years later. It's like you're frozen in those memories that you wish so badly that you could get back. Music is one of the most powerful things in the world.
I can feel kanye's emotions through this song. He is a genius, he is crazy, he is narcissistic. But he has these amazing moments of self awareness. Through a desperate attempt to make us understand his psyche, he produced this masterpiece. He is literally telling his significant other to leave him, because he knows he will ruin her. At least that's what I felt from the song. Edit: this did not age well
Heard this as a young man when I was going through tough times... I was 15 now I'm 23 life's getting tougher but this song brings me back to simpler times wish I could go back to that era
Some times you need to sit down listen to this song and just ... get your shit together ... lift your head up... reminisce on how life was so good back then and try your best to make it happen again under YOUR control but here and now. Change .... not for others but for yourself... do it because you’re tired of living in a loop... do it because you know you deserve better ... do it for your health ... do it because you can look back at the moment you started this song and just exhale and say “I did it”....
When i first heard the outro of this song, i knew it sounded so familiar. I realized almost immediately that it was the same melody as Say You Will from 808s. Listening to this made me feel so speechless. It’s a polar opposite of Say You Will, but has the same emotional impact. And something about the vocoder kanye uses throughout it is very 808s. It almost made me cry because of how powerful it sounds, especially towards the end at 8:45 where to me it sounds like he’s saying “No” repeatedly. I cant get over how amazing this song is

This was my life from about 2004-2020....i feel this shit man. Never be that jerkoff that doesnt take work off. Youth is temporary and goes fast. Dont do ppl who care about you wrong
Something about the ending man. I know some people probably listen to the distorted voices and strings and think it's just some random jumble of noise but I feel that shit in my heart and honestly think it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
This song takes you through a bunch of emotions and it really helps you understand that we need to be more aware of who we are and accept who we are. A lot of these lines in the song I can relate too..

This song seems like it’s from the perspective of a man nearing death, looking back at a lifetime of regret brought on by his own selfishness and narcissistic behavior. Throughout all of the painful memories that flash before his eyes, the smile of the one woman he loved more than himself is most prominent. He closes his eyes, bracing for the inevitable end but not before seeing her smile one last time....

This is a bona fide masterpiece in every level. Im a 70s 60s music freak, and this albums is one of the most soulful and genius of the last few decades.
I remember the first night I heard this song. Me and my girlfriend met on tinder in person for the second time, we hung out until around 3am. After doing the y’know what, I drove her home. I was cycling through my CZcams recommendations and I saw this. I played it. Driving her home, late at night, in a light snow storm with this song playing, holding hands. Straight nostalgia. It’s a very special moment for both of us, since we both associate that time with this song
this is my first time listening to this song and it just made me realize that i don’t have much longer here at home. i’m starting college on August 16th and i probably won’t be allowed home afterwards because my stepdad doesn’t want me. wow... i really took my childhood for granted
I read another comment that said this song is the equivalent of hugging the part of yourself that you hate. And that hit me really deeply. Kanye is sick and mentally unwell in a lot of ways but I think this song especially illustrates that there is still beauty to be found in that. That there is light in the darkness and that means a lot to me.
This song reminds me of my dad, he sang it to my sister. he passed 2 months ago and I can't help but think of him singing this song 😢 bittersweet. RIP Shorty
An artistic masterpiece of an album that tells a story about the beauty and dangers of fame and love presented in amazing ways with extremely realistic musical elements with pianos and orchestral sounds, and amazing usage of sampling small elements of some know/unknown 1960’s, 1970’s & early 1980’s old school songs to make something completely original. Also extraordinary mature subject matter used very well lyrically throughout the album. Whether you like Kanye or not this thing is thing is a masterpiece that won’t be forgotten.
i know this isn’t a wedding typa song but i really wanna walk down the aisle to the piano instrumental of this. if u over think it, it can relate a little bit. he’s pointing out all his flaws and how he can’t escape them. “runaway as fast as u can”. but look at us now. getting married ready to spend the rest of our lives together.
This song converted me...the man's obvious genius is on full display in this hauntingly beautiful song. 66 yr old white man...and this song speaks to a soul.
I find the line where he says” I don’t know how I’m gonna manage if one day you just get up and leave “ ironic because right now we are seeing how he is managing after she just got up and left and he’s threatening Pete Davidson left and right
I came here to talk about this. This song didn’t make sense when it came out. He didn’t have anyone he was this close to. He was with Amber rose but he didn’t lose his shit when they broke up. But all of this, every warning and every plea in this song, is happening right freaking now.
Emotion...feelings...I didn’t feel them I was empty...until I heard this song...Kanye you are saving lives...no matter what never ever even consider suicide...
no cap haven't listened to this song for maybe over a year. It randomly came into my head toady. 1st time playing it today & the ending still gave my entire body goosebumps. An absolute masterpiece
It’s meant to be a relatable sensation of being misheard or not understood. Not just to be auto tuned. The whole song is meant to stir up emotions of failure, sadness, emptiness, and many more. It is Kanye analyzing his action to the point like his 2009 VMA fiasco and he constant media scandals.
nothing short of a masterpiece. some songs just simply have such a strong direct creative process in the making and Kanye absolutely hit the fucking mark on this song. every element compliments each other and its almost heavenly. the elements and sound affects just make it so theatrical and beautiful and relatable. its amazing. Kanye truly is one of a kind.
That's the thing, albums like this, songs like this, are immortalized. Take what you know now about life, not what you thought you knew back then and reimagine the world with a new lens.
See little guy.. All you think about when you heard the lyric waa a girl cuz maybe you a simp ? He's talking about himself, his fans, the media also.. I always find something wrong - his media reception such as the taylor swift shitt you been putting up with my shit just way too long - his fans.. He has loyal fanbase that tries to justify his actions And when he says lets have a toast for the douchebags and the rest of it - THATS THE NAMES HES BEEN CALLED - DOUCHEBAG, ASSHOLE, SCUMBAG...
This song has become the only source of comfort in the world for me and It makes me feel everything I'm trying to feel. Hope you are doing well, Kanye and everyone else out there.
I remember hearing this at work. I was going through a tough time mentally and emotionally and man this song almost broke me down in front of my coworkers. The piano just pulled the strings at my heart
This song feels shorter and shorter as u listen to it more

Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
(Ladies and gentlemen, ladies, ladies and gentlemen)
[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You been putting up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Let's have a toast for the douchebags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
She find pictures in my email
I sent this bitch a picture of my dick
I don't know what it is with females
But I'm not too good at that shit
See, I could have me a good girl
And still be addicted to them hoodrats
And I just blame everything on you
At least you know that's what I'm good at
[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
And I always find, yeah, I always find
Yeah, I always find something wrong
You been putting up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Let's have a toast for the douchebags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
[Bridge: Kanye West & Rick James]
Run away from me, baby
Ah, run away
Run away from me, baby (Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya)
Run away
When it starts to get crazy (Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya)
Then run away
Babe, I got a plan, run away as fast as you can
Run away from me, baby
Run away
Run away from me, baby (Look at, look at, look at, look at, look at, look at, look at ya)
Run away
When it starts to get crazy (Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya)
Why can't she just run away?
Baby, I got a plan
Run away as fast as you can (Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya)
[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Twenty-four seven, three sixty-five, pussy stays on my mind
I-I-I-I did it, alright, alright, I admit it
Now pick your next move, you could leave or live with it
Ichabod Crane with that motherfucking top off
Split and go where? Back to wearing knockoffs?
Haha, knock it off, Neimans, shop it off
Let's talk over mai tais, waitress, top it off
Hoes like vultures, wanna fly in your Freddy loafers
You can't blame 'em, they ain't never seen Versace sofas
Every bag, every blouse, every bracelet
Comes with a price tag, baby, face it
You should leave if you can't accept the basics
Plenty hoes in the baller-nigga matrix
Invisibly set, the Rolex is faceless
I'm just young, rich, and tasteless, P
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Never was much of a romantic
I could never take the intimacy
And I know I did damage
Cause the look in your eyes is killing me
I guess you knew of that advantage
Cause you could blame me for everything
And I don't know how I'm a manage
If one day, you just up and leave
[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You been putting up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Let's have a toast for the douchebags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
[Outro: Kanye West]
[Non-Lyrical Vocals]
The Outro is just Kanye swimming in a pool of sprite.
@@Plaguelord999 all it is is just: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The outro isn't "non lyrical vocals" you fucking idiot. You can clearly hear him saying words.
Thanks
It actually has lyrics
He just performed this in my dream no lie most emotional performance I woke up singing and crying wtf one of my new forever faves
czcams.com/video/AkTH7y3e51A/video.html
That must have been crazy…dreaming with music
You soft . Heer in Germany we laughing at thees facking stupeedity
For some reason this song played in my dream once no one's was singing or playing it it was just playing non repeats out of nowhere
I think I’m partial to this version of the song because of the beginning, the way he says “look at cha” just grabs your attention
I thought he was saying “who got you?”
It’s Rick James.
Bitch
@Ethan Coleman bruh lmao
"Wood hatchet"
The auto tune part is like he wants us to come up with our own lyrics, incorporating our own story. He just gives us the sound... thank you kanye
Thats a very nice way to put it. I did a dance to the autotune part!
The autotune part explains that whenever he’s talking, people think that he’s talking like that
@@whatashame4561 💯
The only bad part of the entire song. I end the track there every time with no regrets.
@@CorruptHugeManatee I don't think its bad. Just too long lool.

Lmao listen to ghost town by Kanye west you might cry over that one
Because its runaway that's why you cried
what's wrong with crying over a kanye song??
🫂💞
hahahahahahaha crybaby this song is happy
This is a bona fide masterpiece in every level. Im a 70s 60s music freak, and this albums is one of the most soulful and genius of the last few decades.
Same
😭 man I was a fucking idiot for not wearing headphones my first time listening to this masterpiece
just clear ur mind
Listen to this on headphones it’s a whole different experience
A painful one
yeah, a permanently damaging experience
Yes. It's on my yoga playlist and I can get so deep into poses listening to this
Let's give Kanye his roses while he's still alive. 👍🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He's Kanye West, he doesn't need our validation. He knows he's literally a God among Humans
@@DangerousLiving1914 he's merely a human but hopefully he stays knowing God
I remember the first night I heard this song. Me and my girlfriend met on tinder in person for the second time, we hung out until around 3am. After doing the y’know what, I drove her home. I was cycling through my CZcams recommendations and I saw this. I played it. Driving her home, late at night, in a light snow storm with this song playing, holding hands. Straight nostalgia. It’s a very special moment for both of us, since we both associate that time with this song
Damn. Ur lucky bro. All the girls I get with can’t stand me so they leave me
I wouldn't share that story with those close to you. Sad that you could only find someone on the internet
you guys are probably broken up now lol. coomer L
I hope yall are still together man
@@distinkt88 Facts

It's album rollout time bro he's just doing promo
@8LIJ4H Yitler😭
this is my first time listening to this song and it just made me realize that i don’t have much longer here at home. i’m starting college on August 16th and i probably won’t be allowed home afterwards because my stepdad doesn’t want me. wow... i really took my childhood for granted
runway as fast as you can
best of luck
@@adammadrisotti6942 thank you!!
As jacksfilms once said, YEAH ITS TIME FOR NEW PARENTS
Lol how u gonna allow ur step dad to kick u out your home
I swear every time i hear this song the number of times the first note hits is different
15 to be exact
I read another comment that said this song is the equivalent of hugging the part of yourself that you hate. And that hit me really deeply. Kanye is sick and mentally unwell in a lot of ways but I think this song especially illustrates that there is still beauty to be found in that. That there is light in the darkness and that means a lot to me.
I don’t think he’s sick at all. He’s crushing, the world has just become really messed up.
This song reminds me of my dad, he sang it to my sister. he passed 2 months ago and I can't help but think of him singing this song 😢 bittersweet. RIP Shorty
Rest in piece 🕊🪦🥀
if you have headphones on. the opening "look at you" goes around and around in your head. I fucking love this song more everytime I hear it.
OMG IKR ITS SO WEIRD
First time listening with headphones when the ‘Look at Ya!’ is going between both ears 🤧🥵🥵🥵
he did that on purpose. he did that to make you feel isolated, can you feel it?
An artistic masterpiece of an album that tells a story about the beauty and dangers of fame and love presented in amazing ways with extremely realistic musical elements with pianos and orchestral sounds, and amazing usage of sampling small elements of some know/unknown 1960’s, 1970’s & early 1980’s old school songs to make something completely original. Also extraordinary mature subject matter used very well lyrically throughout the album. Whether you like Kanye or not this thing is thing is a masterpiece that won’t be forgotten.
Thanks mr. West for your pure vulnerability on this song. I cry and this one hits the nail on the heart every time i hear it.
i know this isn’t a wedding typa song but i really wanna walk down the aisle to the piano instrumental of this. if u over think it, it can relate a little bit. he’s pointing out all his flaws and how he can’t escape them. “runaway as fast as u can”. but look at us now. getting married ready to spend the rest of our lives together.

Nah I’m just playin. I get what you mean.
Great instrumental, strong hook, dope feature, cool outro, this song is perfect.

"im so gifted at finding what i dont like the most" i love this man so much
This song converted me...the man's obvious genius is on full display in this hauntingly beautiful song. 66 yr old white man...and this song speaks to a soul.
We gotta show love to push because he damn near stole the show with his verse
Pusha killed it fosho
maybe if it didnt take Kanye to tell him off like a mean mother to make his verse more arrogant then i wouldve given cokeman props
This is THE ONE PIECE of music by Kanye that I still listen to even through all of the controversy. The feeling thIS song makes feels unREAL
Listen to addiction by kanye, I rarely listen now but that song is stuck for life
He’s simply speaking truth to power, nothing less nothing more.
Stop writing in caps like you're important
@@ilikeparaguayan278 read only the caps, it's a joke
The one piece is real guys !!
I find the line where he says” I don’t know how I’m gonna manage if one day you just get up and leave “ ironic because right now we are seeing how he is managing after she just got up and left and he’s threatening Pete Davidson left and right
I came here to talk about this. This song didn’t make sense when it came out. He didn’t have anyone he was this close to. He was with Amber rose but he didn’t lose his shit when they broke up. But all of this, every warning and every plea in this song, is happening right freaking now.
Emotion...feelings...I didn’t feel them I was empty...until I heard this song...Kanye you are saving lives...no matter what never ever even consider suicide...

He is a pure genius!
His music has always spoke
Kanye's producer: How much autotune you want on the second half of the song?
Kanye: Yes
cringe
Kanye is Kanye’s producer most of the time
He is the producer bud
It’s meant to be a relatable sensation of being misheard or not understood. Not just to be auto tuned. The whole song is meant to stir up emotions of failure, sadness, emptiness, and many more. It is Kanye analyzing his action to the point like his 2009 VMA fiasco and he constant media scandals.
i’m pretty sure he’s using a vocoder
this is has to be one of kanye’s best. jesus christ i am so in love with this song
nothing short of a masterpiece. some songs just simply have such a strong direct creative process in the making and Kanye absolutely hit the fucking mark on this song. every element compliments each other and its almost heavenly. the elements and sound affects just make it so theatrical and beautiful and relatable. its amazing. Kanye truly is one of a kind.
I need this Kanye back, stronger then ever! Hopes are high. This man must thrive and be happy at all costs.
That's the thing, albums like this, songs like this, are immortalized. Take what you know now about life, not what you thought you knew back then and reimagine the world with a new lens.
Producer: so what are your plans for the second half of the song
Kanye: just turn auto tune to max and i’ll mumble in the mic
