Run Run Lyrics in English Babasónicos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Run Run by Babasónicos from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
It may be that those lips don't work right
They explain nothing, and that loses me even more
Don't tell me that that didn't happen
Nobody pushes a suicide
He jumps because he can't take it anymore
Speak and say that love only lies
To say a greater truth
There aren't any like ours
Isn't love for collecting advantages?
I came this far to mend my mistakes
Chorus 1
Tell me everything in the least subtle way
Less subtle
Lie to me as if it were late
Verse 2
Tell me the fantasy that your skin chose
What happened at that dance?
What did you do when nobody was watching
Speak and say that love surprises you
You'll be able to say that you're not ready
Don't offend without warning first
Isn't love for collecting advantages?
I came this far to mend my mistakes
Chorus 2
Tell me everything in the least subtle way
Less subtle
Lie to me as if it were late
Outro
Isn't love for collecting advantages?
I came this far to mend my mistakes
Isn't love for collecting advantages?
I've only come this far to mend my mistakes
Pay attention, I said I'd mend them, nothing more
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

“Run Run” is like eavesdropping on a late-night confession booth, but the booth is a bedroom and the priest is an ex-lover. The narrator barges in wearing equal parts guilt and bravado, hungry for the least subtle version of the truth. He admits to past mistakes, toys with the idea that love is a convenient scam for “collecting advantages,” then dares his partner to either spill every secret or invent a brand-new fantasy. Inside this push-and-pull of “lie to me, but do it honestly,” the song exposes love’s wild contradictions: it can be a lifeline, a weapon, or a stage for self-deception.

At its core the track is a tense dance between confession and denial. Babasónicos paint a picture of two people orbiting the same wildfire, each deciding whether to extinguish it or feed it. Moments of raw sincerity—“I came here to mend my mistakes”—rub shoulders with cynical one-liners claiming that nobody ever falls in love; they jump because they cannot stand still. The result is a bittersweet anthem that asks learners to question how far honesty should go when feelings, pride, and desire are all tangled together.
