Discover the story of the song > Is It Day Or Night? – Runaways

The lyrics are about someone who doesn't like being alone and feels like they can't go back to being straight. They have seen a rough and difficult side of life. They question whether it is day or night, and describe a kiss that feels prickly like a porcupine and lips that feel numb like after getting a shot of novocaine. They mention white flowers that cry while they sleep in warm and dusty surroundings. They talk about a world where people are ruthless and it feels like survival of the fittest.
