Run Away (9와 4분의 3 승강장에서 너를 기다려)

TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), a South Korean boy band known for their youthful and energetic music, presents a song that resonates with the desire to escape from the hardships of life. 'Run Away' (also known by its Korean title '9와 4분의 3 승강장에서 너를 기다려', which translates to 'Waiting for You at Platform 9 and Three-Quarters') draws inspiration from the magical world of Harry Potter, where Platform 9 and Three-Quarters is a secret gateway to a world beyond the ordinary.

The lyrics express feelings of isolation and pain, with the singer feeling like everyone else is happy except for them. The mention of laughing being more painful than crying suggests a deep sense of alienation and the facade of happiness that one might put on to mask their true emotions. The song's chorus offers a solution to this pain: a magical escape with a loved one, symbolized by the reference to the hidden platform. The magic of being together can transport them to a place where dreams become reality, away from the sorrows of the world.

The use of magical imagery, such as wands, spells, and a magic hour, further emphasizes the theme of escapism. The song invites the listener to say 'yes' to this adventure, to run away from the mundane and into a fantastical journey with the band. It's a call to break free from the constraints of reality and find solace in the company of someone special, where together they can create their own magical world.
