Escape
AHI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When all your hopes are burned into the ground,
And there's no warning sign, no warning sign at all,
When you don't know where to go,
Cause the road ahead is swallowed in a wall of smoke
And there's no warning sign, no warning sign at all,
And I will not delay when you call my name,
I'll be your escape, I'll make the way clear the way for you,
Let me keep you safe, know that I'm here to show you,
Oh, if you're caught off gaurd, trapped and lost,
Don't you be afraid, I'll be your escape...
I know it's hard sometimes to tell,
If this is real life, or just a living hell,
And there's no warning sign, no warning sign at all,
And I will not delay when you call on me,
Cuz I will carry on if it's what you need,
I'll be your escape, I'll make the way clear the way for you,
Let me keep you safe, know that I'm here to show you,
Oh, if you're caught off gaurd, trapped and lost,
Don't you be afraid, I'll be your escape...
I'll be your escape, oh oh oh
Home is where our hearts both come together,
As long as we got each other,
You know it's going to get much better,
Home is where we give each other shelter,
We can overcome any weather,
So let us escape together,
And I will not delay when you call on me,
Cuz I will carry on if it's what you need,
I'll be your escape, I'll make the way clear the way for you
Let me keep you safe, know that I'm here to show you,
Oh, if you're caught off gaurd, trapped and lost,
Don't you be afraid, I'll be your escape...
I'll be your escape, oooo, I'll be your escape...
In "Escape" by AHI, the singer offers to be a guide and source of strength for someone who is going through a difficult time. The song opens with a vivid description of a disaster, a "fire" that "burns your hopes into the ground" and leaves no "warning sign at all." The second verse suggests that the metaphorical fire might be more intangible, as the singer acknowledges that it can be difficult to tell if one is living in "real life" or "just a living hell." In both scenarios, the singer offers to give support without hesitation, to "make the way clear" and "keep you safe," in order to lead the person to a place of security and comfort. The song concludes with a reminder that "home" is where we can be protected and find peace in the face of storms and difficult conditions, and the assurance that the singer will always be a faithful companion on that journey.
The lyrics of "Escape" are powerful in their expression of empathy and compassion, as the singer offers a shoulder to lean on when things are tough. They also emphasize the importance of connection and community in persevering through difficult times. These themes are common throughout AHI's music, as he often writes about the challenges of displacement and the need for belonging and support in the face of adversity.

Im very picky when it comes to music. And your songs strikes right into my heart. Stumble by this artist by a mere chance. This song "escape" and "closer (from a distance) " is so good and easy to relate to. You sir will be big one day. Keep up the good work. Maybe ditch the horse riding uniform and dont be nervous. This music is amazing pls let the world see it.
