Escape
★30 Seconds To Mars Lyrics

The lyrics of "Escape" by 30 Seconds to Mars talk about someone who is on the brink of breaking down and losing themselves completely. The first line, "I don't remember one moment I tried to forget," suggests that the person feels overwhelmed by their emotions and is desperately trying to escape from them. They have lost themselves but are not necessarily sad about it, indicating that they are accepting of the situation they are in. The line "Now I'm closer to the edge" then reveals that they are approaching a tipping point, the point where they will no longer be able to control their emotions.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Closer to the edge," emphasizing that the person is getting closer and closer to the point of no return. Despite knowing that they are getting close to breaking down, they are not sorry for what they have done or experienced. There is a sense of hope that they may be able to meet again someday, however, it is also implied that their current state might be permanent.

The second verse of the song talks about the hopelessness and despair that the person feels. They are living in a world where freedom and truth are hard to find, and where dreams often die. They are lost in their own self-reflection and unable to find their way out. The chorus repeats once again, driving home the idea that the person is edging closer to an emotional cliff, and there may be no way to stop it.
