When someone really wants to get away from a situation or relationship as fast as they can, they "run for the hills", assuming higher ground is safer. Usually it is when you are scared of something or scared of commitment.
"I told her I loved her, so she ran for the hills."
"Every time she asks me to come over, I freak out and run for the hills."

A term used to describe the stereotype of rich people (typically white folks) who run make to their safe communities after doing obligations in less desirable (black dominated, urban) communities based on the cliche of the rich people having the nice homes on the hills while all the poor people are down below.

A song by Iron Maiden which explores the colonization of the Americas and the prime example of how Iron Maiden songs can provide a good history lesson.
Run To The Hills quotes:
"White man came across the sea, he brought us pain and misery"- This highlights the Indigenous' viewpoints on the arrival of Europeans in the Americas.
"Chasing the redskins back to their holes, fighting them at their own game"- This foreshadows the trouble that white people were going to commence with the Native Americans.
"Selling them whiskey and taking their gold, enslaving the young and destroying the old"- This is self explanatory. Native Americans were the original slaves before many died of smallpox, which Europeans had already built herd immunity to which is why Europeans resorted to enslaving West Africans.
