Escapism.
Raye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him
All of my diamonds are drippin' on him
I met him at the bar, it was twelve or somethin'
I ordered two more wines, 'cause tonight I want him

A little context if you care to listen
I find myself in a shit position
The man that I love sat me down last night
And he told me that it's over, dumb decision
And I don't wanna feel how my heart is rippin'
Fact, I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sippin'
And I'm out on the town with a simple mission
In my little black dress and that shit is sittin'

Just a heart broke bitch
High heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne
I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was looking for a man who was on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways

'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel

Toke this joint how I'm blowing this steam
Back to my ways like 2019
Not 24 hours since my ex did dead it
I got a new man on me, it's about to get sweaty
Last night really was the cherry on the cake
Been some dark days lately and I'm findin' it cripplin'
Excuse my state
I'm as high as your hopes that you'll make it to my bed
Get me hot and sizzlin'
If I take a step back to see the glass half full
At least it's the Prada two-piece that I'm trippin' in
And I'm already actin' like a dick
Know what I mean?
So you might as well stick it in

Just a heart broke bitch
High heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne
I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was looking for a man who was on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways

'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel (what?)

'Cause I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
Be at peace with the things you can't change
I'll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah
Out of reach, out of touch, too numb, I don't feel no way
Toast up, so what, street small but it go both ways
So, you'll run, bitch, you'll never escape
Sunset in the maze
(You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel)

I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night, oh
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel

I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Hiding, hiding, how I feel last night

(Go)

Lipstick smudged like modern art
I don't know where the fuck I am
Or who's driving the fucking car
Speeding down the highway sippin'
Mixing pills with the liquor
'Cause fuck these feelings
I left everyone I love on read (uh-uh)
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (uh-uh)
I remember nothing so there's nothing to regret (uh-uh)
Other than this 4/4 kick drum poundin' in my head (hm)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to RAYE's song Escapism describe the feeling of trying to escape the pain of heartbreak by indulging in reckless behavior. The singer is "sleazin' and teasin'" with a new man she met at a bar, in an attempt to forget the man she really loves who recently broke up with her. She drinks, snorts cocaine, and has casual sex with strangers as a way to numb the pain of heartbreak.


Despite indulging in all these activities, the singer still doesn't feel any better. She talks to a doctor and begs for him to "take this pain away," but ultimately understands that she can't escape the pain of heartbreak. The lyrics show the self-destructive behavior that people sometimes resort to when dealing with heartbreak, despite knowing that it won't truly heal the pain they feel.


Overall, the song's lyrics explore the idea of escapism and how it can be both tempting and futile when dealing with heartbreak. The singer craves an escape from her emotions, but can't seem to find one that will truly bring her peace.


Line by Line Meaning

Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him
I'm sitting on a guy and being flirtatious with him.


All of my diamonds are drippin' on him
My expensive jewelry is adorning him.


I ordered two more wines, 'cause tonight I want him
I got a couple more drinks because I'm interested in this guy tonight.


I find myself in a shit position
I'm in a difficult emotional state.


And he told me that it's over, dumb decision
He broke up with me in a foolish way.


Fact, I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sippin'
I don't want to experience any negative emotions, so I keep drinking.


Just a heart broke bitch, High heels six inch
I'm a woman with a broken heart, wearing six-inch high heels.


I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
I don't have faith in the women I'm hanging out with.


In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine
I'm doing cocaine in the back of a taxi.


I was looking for a man who was on the same page
I wanted to be with someone who had similar thoughts and feelings.


Toke this joint how I'm blowing this steam
I'm taking a drag of a joint to deal with my emotions.


Been some dark days lately and I'm findin' it cripplin'
I've been going through some difficult times and it's been overwhelming.


Out of reach, out of touch, too numb, I don't feel no way
I feel disconnected from everything and don't feel anything.


I don't know where the fuck I am, Or who's driving the fucking car
I don't know where I am or who is driving the car I'm in.


Speeding down the highway sippin', Mixing pills with the liquor
I'm drinking and taking pills while driving recklessly on the highway.


Fuck these feelings, I left everyone I love on read
I'm tired of my emotions, and I haven't replied to messages from people I care about.


Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed
I'm revealing personal information to someone I don't know who is in my bed.


I remember nothing so there's nothing to regret
I don't remember what I did, so I don't feel any remorse.


Other than this 4/4 kick drum poundin' in my head
The only thing I remember is the pounding bass in my head.

'Cause I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
Be at peace with the things you can't change (last night)

Mm, lipstick smudged like modern art
I don't know where the fuck I am or who's drivin' the fuckin' car
Speedin' down the highway, sippin'
Mixin' pills with the liquor 'cah fuck these feelings
I left everyone I love on read (uh-huh)
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (uh-huh)
I remember nothing, so there's nothing to regret (uh-huh)
Other than this 4-4 kick drum poundin' in my head
