À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un couple en fuite, poursuivi par une menace mystérieuse qui semble les traquer à travers différentes villes. Ils vivent dans la peur constante de se faire attraper, mais leur principale préoccupation reste la sécurité de l'un l'autre. Malgré la pression extérieure, ils sont prêts à tout pour rester ensemble et trouver un refuge, même si cela signifie courir indéfiniment. Écrite dans les années 60, cette chanson évoque un sentiment de rébellion et d'évasion, typique de cette époque où les jeunes exprimaient leur désir de liberté face aux attentes sociétales.
