RUN BABY RUN
Run Baby Run explores the theme of survival against the odds and the perplexing relationship between chance and choice. Inspired by the cult German film Run Lola Run from 1998, the lyrics form a dynamic narrative of how chance events and split-second decisions can alter our destinies.
Blending an energetic rhythm and lead bassline with explosive synths bouncing around the stereo field, the music is unexpected and surprising. The electronic arrangement echoes the song’s lyrics – chance and choice, order and chaos, life and the alternative.
Run Baby Run is the last single before the release of the related album – Zeroes and Ones.

Lyrics
You better run baby run
Like you’re in Berlin
Put it all on the red
Now watch it spin
Faced with a choice
From this mess you’re in
You defy it
What do you know?
You’ve got to run for your life
Stand up in the night
Feel like there’s nothing left
At the end
Run baby run
Do you know what you’ve done?
Run baby run
You better run baby run
Got to take it in
Feel every beat
Let the game begin
Faced with a choice
At the point of sin
You deny it
What do you know?
You’ve got to run for your life
Stand up in the night
Feel like there’s nothing left
At the end
Run, run baby run
For you know
Not what you’ve done
You better run baby run
Take it on the chin
Feel every knock
Like a kick in the shins
Faced with a choice
From the bind you’re in
You untie it
What do you know?
You’ve got to run for your life
Stand up in the night
Feel like there’s nothing left
At the end
Run, run baby run
For you know
Not what you’ve done
