Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Sleepy with bags, packing my bag
This camp is creepy, it's making me mad
A boy drowned in the lake it made me sad
Except he's a killer, murdering the kids
But I'll be the final boy, yes I'm a live
Run through the woods, step on the twigs
It's too late for sorry, he won't forgive
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Jason is coming
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Jason is coming
Blood in the water, the boats are broken
Hid there anyway now I'm soaking
Witnessed another kid die by choking
Jason did it, now I'm coping
Hand in the water, dead body floating
I screamed, now I'm hoping
Jason don't see me out in the open
Grabbing every object and I'm throwing
It don't phase him, he's invincible
I'm trash to him, so dispensable
But I won't give in, it's principle
It's me or him, I can't miss ya know?
Now I'm in the cabin waiting for him
The sole survivor, staying to live
No sudden moves or pay for your sins
Getting revenge, he killed all my friends
Seeking, I'm hiding in the pantry
Being small in hiding places come in handy
So I jumped out, blunt force to his brain
Cut off his limbs, sliced through his veins
89' they left Jason plunging
So his mother did him justice
In the end she got busted
Alice knocked her head off, musket
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Jason is coming
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
The Final Boy is coming
The lyrics of Earth and Pillars's song "Lakes" tell a story of a protagonist who finds themselves trapped in a dangerous and terrifying situation. The song draws inspiration from the horror film franchise "Friday the 13th," specifically focusing on the character of Jason Voorhees. The singer, referred to as the "Final Boy," must navigate through a camp where a boy had previously drowned in the lake, only to discover that the boy is actually a killer. The lyrics describe the singer's attempts to escape from Jason's relentless pursuit and seek revenge for the murder of their friends.
The lyrics evoke a sense of fear, urgency, and desperation as the singer tries to find a way to survive. The mention of packing a bag and the repeated phrase "gotta get away" emphasize the need for the singer to escape the threatening situation they are in. The conflicting emotions of sadness at the boy's drowning and subsequent relief at his survival create a complex narrative that plays with the listener's emotions.
The lyrics also feature vivid imagery, depicting blood in the water, broken boats, and a dead body floating. These details contribute to a tense and gruesome atmosphere, characteristic of the horror genre. The mention of the year 1989 refers to the release of the film "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan," where Jason Voorhees is trapped underwater by toxic waste.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lakes" tell a dark and intense story of survival, revenge, and the horrors that can lurk beneath seemingly peaceful surfaces. It captures the essence of the "Friday the 13th" franchise and translates it into a sonic experience.
