Escape
Cast From Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

By force filtering the habitual carcinogens, you're killing me you're killing us both.

Another seven minute future strangled in the present.

Licking the porcelain doll's ashtray lips that once seemed so pleasant until the putrid stench of smoldering lungs crept through her rotting teeth. the repugnant aftertaste of her cancerous gateway kiss.

Drowning in emphesemic mucosal suffocation, her destructive glamour falls apart with each poisoned breath that incites the onset of a voluntary degenerative disease that compliments the glazed eyes of another one of her unchaste amourette. binge drinking episodes at the greek-lettered brothel. the perfected circumstances of every welcomed weekend date rape included in the fine print of every invitation to this rohupnol manfacturer's heaven. her lifeless body. an effortless conquest of a bleach blond american dream's defloration. tear her flesh with usurped consent. she's left herself to the fraternity's predators tonight to sate their shallow desires for one salacious as a plausible exoneration from mynogymy. it's only cheating if she remembers. its spawn, the maligant scars that will go unavenged in aphony. the monsters regret filled secondd in the name of social acceptance. multibillion dollar corporations marketing an addiction industry of legalized drug dealing. the reality of designer drug abuse.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cast From Eden's song Escape depict the destructive nature of addiction and its consequences. The first line speaks to the idea that the habitual carcinogens, or addictive substances, are killing both the person using them and those around them. The next line suggests that the future is being strangled by the present, meaning that addiction can hinder someone's ability to make positive changes for their future.


The following lines describe a person's descent into addiction through a disturbing imagery of licking ashtray lips and the putrid stench of smoldering lungs. The repugnant aftertaste of a cancerous gateway kiss represents the initial attraction to an addictive substance, but the eventual harm it causes. The person becomes drowning in mucosal suffocation, and their destructive glamour falls apart with each poisoned breath. They engage in binge drinking episodes and promiscuous behavior, which includes the fine print of being date-raped at a fraternity party, representing the toxic culture surrounding addiction.


The final lines speak about the lack of justice for those who suffer from addiction and how addiction is being marketed as an addiction industry by multibillion-dollar corporations. The harsh reality of designer drug abuse is that the monsters who profit from it don't care about the human cost of addiction. This song is a haunting reminder of the dark side of addiction and its ripple effects on individuals and the society.

Licking the porcelain doll's ashtray lips that once seemed so pleasant until the putrid stench of smoldering lungs crept through her rotting teeth. the repugnant aftertaste of her cancerous gateway kiss.
The act of kissing someone who smokes becomes unpleasant once the smell of burnt lungs creeps into the kiss. It's like a gateway to illness.


Drowning in emphesemic mucosal suffocation, her destructive glamour falls apart with each poisoned breath that incites the onset of a voluntary degenerative disease that compliments the glazed eyes of another one of her unchaste amourette. binge drinking episodes at the greek-lettered brothel. the perfected circumstances of every welcomed weekend date rape included in the fine print of every invitation to this rohupnol manfacturer's heaven.
She's suffocating due to lung disease, and her glamour is fading away with every breath due to its harmful effects. She's involved in a life of vice and immorality, including binge drinking and rape.

her lifeless body. an effortless conquest of a bleach blond american dream's defloration. tear her flesh with usurped consent. she's left herself to the fraternity's predators tonight to sate their shallow desires for one salacious as a plausible exoneration from mynogymy. it's only cheating if she remembers. its spawn, the maligant scars that will go unavenged in aphony.
Her body is lifeless after being easily taken advantage of by someone who desires a typical and idealized American dream. Her skin is violated without actual consent. She's put herself in a situation where she's already accepted it because that's what society deems as acceptable. The scars she's left with will go unnoticed and unavenged.


the monsters regret filled secondd in the name of social acceptance.
People who take advantage of others in the name of societal acceptance later regret their selfish actions.


multibillion dollar corporations marketing an addiction industry of legalized drug dealing. the reality of designer drug abuse.
Big corporations make huge profits by promoting the addiction industry, which is essentially legal drug dealing. Designer drug abuse is also a real problem.

Remember when local bands seemed larger then life? Mistique was a thing still? When tattoos on someone's face was a complete "fuck society" choice? Driving a Hurst to shows just for shear asthethics? Fuck I feel old.
