meaning
The lyrics of the song "Runaway" seem to tell the story of a person who casually travels and leaves behind a trail of short-term relationships and adventures. The first verse suggests that the protagonist moves from place to place, leaving their former partners behind without much thought. The words "Au revoir" (French for "goodbye") imply that the protagonist doesn't always intend to stay in one place for long. The chorus and post-chorus "I'm a runaway" emphasize the independence and freedom of this person, who lives life like a fugitive, avoiding commitments and remaining elusive. In the second verse, mentioning "country boys with real good manners" and "hustlers from Louisiana" suggests the diversity of the protagonist's relationships and adventures. Despite their differences, all these men seem to react similarly to the protagonist's departure, returning to their mothers.
In the middle part of the song, there's a question "Do you wanna play a game?" and a call to catch the protagonist, adding an element of cat and mouse to the story. The entire song is permeated with the theme of escape and independence, and the chorus repeats as a manifestation of this lifestyle, which leaves no room for relationships or permanent affiliations.

Theories
It is likely that the action of the video takes place after the scenes from Walkerverse The Tour - Premiere Stream, this can be inferred from the outfit of #0 and the fact that the Walkerverse space is still empty and not as we see in Shut Up.
