Escape
Bazanji Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All right
(Yeah, Yeah)
Finally getting what I wanted but I'm feeling off
Numbers going up but I feel like I'm falling off
All the love that's coming turning into pressure
Everybody watching me, hope they really think I'm good enough
Think I bit a little more than I can chew
All the good coming with bad wish that I could pick and choose
I've been running from myself, know I got a lot to lose
Ever looked into the mirror and you see a different you? Damn
I can't really put a finger on the problem though
Feel like everything is adding up I gotta let it go
All the weight up on my shoulders but it's getting heavy though
I know I said I'm ready but lately I just don't really know
I been doing everything that I would dream about
So how can I complain when everything is working out
I can't explain but I've been going down the wrong path
Know that times are hard but I'm hoping that it don't last
Falling away
I'm feeling my pain
Tryna let go
But I can't escape
Falling away
I'm feelin my pain
Tryna let go
But I can't escape

Got a voice inside my head and it's controlling me
And lately I been doubting everything that I believe
Am I gon make it or am I just gonna get a peak
I think I'm slowly turning into my own enemy
I'm hiding from my problems I just got a poker face
I'm always thinking bout the shit that I just can't erase
I always want the things that I can never have
Why does everything that's good get disguised by all the bad
I been filling up with pain
I been caught up doing wrong
And I know it's all a shame
But I need to let it off
I feel happy in a crowd
But I'm sad when I'm alone
I keep money in my house
So I'm never on my own, yea
It's kinda hard letting people hear about it
But I know somebody going thru it and I know they counting on me
Let em know
That they not the only one
Everybody got their problems but we gotta overcome yea

Falling away
I'm feeling my pain
Tryna let go
But I can't escape
Falling away
I'm feelin my pain




Tryna let go
But I can't escape

This song is more personal than usual. I don’t open up often but I wrote this when my life was full of newfound success but everything felt off. Sometimes it’s ok to not be ok. Life is full of highs and lows. If you’re going thru some shit....just believe that everything will work itself out over time and you’ll become a stronger person.
