No hate to flashing lights, its hook and bars are just top tier...But runaway is my absolute favourite...I can hear it as many times as i want and i still won't be bored...The claustrophobic nature, the emotional verse, the tune, the simple drums, the adlibs, and the last four minutes of the disturbing vocoded voice, is just magic...I also feel like its a confession from Kanye, and he admits all his wrongs, but he doesn't apologize for it...The song perfectly sums up Kanye West as a person...Though its production is not flashy than flashing lights or can't tell me nothing or other hits of his, its artistic flair is unmatched to this day...
