Escape Me
DJ Tiesto 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
indesecion is annoying not
as annoying as
your sharp tounge
pierce my lips
don't shred me down to strips
you're way to good at it
you're way to good at it
Escape me
Escape me
bottles under tires
forget about friends
Escape me
Escape me
Black out tendencies
forget about the future
ooohhh(x4)
Back at the bar
drunk on my sorrow
from another breakup
forgetting who you were
indesecion is annoying not
as annoying as
your sharp tounge
Escape me
Escape me
bottles under tires
forget about friends
Escape me
Escape me
Black out tendencies
for-
get about the future
oooohhh
pretty things ooohhh
everything ooohhh
pretty things
pierce my lips
don't shread me down to strips
you're way to good at it
you're way to good at it
Escape me
Escape me
bottles under tires
forget about friends
Escape me
Escape me
Black out tendencies
for-
get about the future
The first stanza of the song describes the singer's hesitation towards a potential romantic partner. She does not want to hurt him, but neither does she want to deny her own feelings. She admits that failure is something she has become accustomed to. The second stanza sees her seeking solace in alcohol, drowning her sorrows in a bar. She acknowledges the sadness that comes with a breakup, but encourages herself to forget who she used to be and instead focus on who she is in the moment.
The third and fourth stanzas repeat the same verses, with the singer becoming progressively drunker. She refers to herself as being indecisive, but not as annoying as her love interest's sharp tongue. The chorus is repeated multiple times and refers to escaping something, possibly her own emotions or the situation that she finds herself in. The final stanza refers to pretty things and once again repeats the chorus, highlighting the singer's desperation to escape her current state.

Amazing, I saw him two days a go at Houston and was a great concert.... TIESTO... THE BEST
@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
Got his album in the mail last week. Love it. My favorite song is "I am strong" . Hope everyone else is enjoying his new stuff.
