Escape
30 Seconds to Mars/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Brooklyn or some place like that
With life and taxis flying past
We tore that dance hall down
Pocket change and subway cars
Our big ideas filled empty bars
You might be from the moon or mars
So, let's hang an anchor from the sun
There’s a million city lights but
You're number one
You're the reason I’m still
Up at dawn
Just to see your face
We'll be going strong
With the vampires, baby
We belong, we belong awake
Swinging from the fire escape
I was drinking from the wishing well
Some junkie metal-head hotel
When we boarded the carousel
The roof was caving in
On the stage my Oxblood friend
Was singing songs about the end
The bankers in the lion's den
Were dropping lines like beggars in the snow
So, let's hang an anchor from the sun
There’s a million city lights but
You're number one
You're the reason I’m still
Up at dawn
Just to see your face
We'll be going strong
With the vampires, baby
We belong, we belong awake
Swinging from the fire escape
Swinging from the fire escape
Swinging from the fire escape
Walking home your hand in mine
Tattoos on the river line
The morning birds are taking flight
Either way I thought that you should know
You're my number one
You're the reason I’m still
Up at dawn
Just to see your face
We'll be going strong
With the vampires, baby
We belong, we belong awake
You're my number one
You're the reason I’m still
Up at dawn
Just to see your face
We'll be going strong
With the vampires, baby
We belong, we belong awake
Swinging from the fire escape
Swinging from the fire escape
Swinging from the fire escape
Swinging from the fire escape
The lyrics of "Escape" by 30 Seconds to Mars/Musicfire.in tell the story of a wild night out in Brooklyn, filled with spontaneous adventure, love, and connection. It's about living in the moment, forgetting about the past or future, and finding freedom in the chaos of the city. The first verse describes meeting an acrobat, most likely a metaphor for someone who is free-spirited and daring. The two of them dance the night away in a crowded and bustling dance hall, despite the chaos of life around them. The chorus expresses the singer's infatuation with this person and their desire to hang onto this euphoria forever. The second verse finds the singer in another random and crazy location - a junkie metal-head hotel. Here, they board a carousel and watch a performance by an Oxblood friend while wealthy bankers watch them from the sidelines. The lyrics continue to express the singer's deep affection for this person, no matter how wild or unpredictable their adventures might be.
Overall, "Escape" is a song that is about letting go of conventions and enjoying the wild ride of life. It's about seeking out adventure, finding beauty in chaos, and connecting with someone on a deeper level. The chorus is the most important part of the song, as it reinforces the central message of the song - that no matter what happens, the singer and their lover will always be number one to each other.
