I love Woodkid's unique sound. I first heard them on an Assassin's Creed video game trailer. The other day I came across another video of theirs showing a young boy escaping some white buildings that were very temple-like. Creatures of the earth rise to help him get away. He later returns with his army of tree people to fight the white city. It is very symbolic of running away from orthodox systems and returning to nature and I thought it was appropriate to share here :) Here are the lyrics:

Run boy run! This world is not made for you
Run boy run! They’re trying to catch you
Run boy run! Running is a victory
Run boy run! Beauty lays behind the hills
Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you
Run boy run! They’re dying to stop you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! Break out from society
Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!
Run boy run! This ride is a journey to
Run boy run! The secret inside of you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! And disappear in the trees
Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!
Tomorrow is another day
And when the night fades away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!

EDIT: I just watched their official video IRON, and RUN BOY RUN seems to be a followup from that one, with the boy and the temple appearing at the end. Cool stuff.
