Escape Me
DJ Tiësto Feat. C.C. Sheffield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna be cruel
I don't wanna deny
Failure is my favorite thing
Take me to the bar
Drink up to sorrow
Sorrow for break up
Indecision is annoying not
As annoying as
Your sharp tongue
Pierce my lips
Don't shred me down to strips
You're way too good at it
You're way too good at it
Escape me
Escape me
Bottles under tires
Forget about friends
Escape me
Escape me
Black out tendencies
Forget about the future
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Back at the bar
Drunk on my sorrow
From another break up
Forgetting who you were
Indecision is annoying not
As annoying as
Your sharp tongue
Escape me
Escape me
Bottles under tires
Forget about friends
Escape me
Escape me
Black out tendencies
Forget about the future
Oh, oh, oh
Pretty things, oh,
Pretty things, oh,
Everything, oh,
Pretty things
Pierce my lips
Don't shred me down to strips
You're way too good at it
You're way too good at it
Escape me
Escape me
Bottles under tires
Forget about friends
Escape me
Escape me
Black out tendencies
Forget about the future
The lyrics of DJ Tiësto/C.C. Sheffield's 'Escape Me' seem to be about a person who is struggling with heartbreak and is trying to escape from their pain through alcohol. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and the desire to forget about the past and the future. At the same time, there is a sense of self-awareness that comes through, with the admission that "failure is my favourite thing".
There is a sense of conflict in the lyrics as well, where the singer seems to be aware that they need to escape their pain, yet they also seem to be struggling with the idea of denying it. They want to forget their past by "drink[ing] up to sorrow" and "forget[ting] about the future", but there is a sense of resignation to their pain as well when they say "I don't wanna be cruel, I don't wanna deny". The lyrics also touch upon the idea of self-destructive behaviour, where the singer acknowledges their "black out tendencies".
The lyrics are quite introspective and speak to the idea of emotional pain and the different ways in which people try to cope with it. The lyrics give insight into the singer's psychological state and their struggle with their emotions.

@jmapr1821
i was never a big fan of tiesto until i saw him live in orlando and tampa this past weekend. i love his new sound! he might lose old fans but he is gaining new ones. his sound has to change. it cant stay the same. like hip hop, back in the 90's is completely different from now. he has to keep up with the trend
@wweabors
tiesto.. you are the men.. always on top of the industry of electronic music.. Congrats!!
@dreams2memories
