Escape From Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Do I dare)
Disturb the air
That you left standing in
It's just a matter of time
(It's just a matter of time)
Do I see
Incompletely
Is this really just a dream?
It couldn't happen to me
(It couldn't happen to me)
I thought that we'd be together
Fly with the stars forever
From the top of the world
Without a care
Even though you denied me
I carry your heart inside me
From the top of the world
Without a care
Do I fear
(Do I fear)
Another year
As I wonder where you are?
Can't get you out of my mind
(Can't get you out of my mind)
Do I wait
(Do I wait)
Its much too late
It was over long ago
I guess it wasn't enough
(I guess it's never enough)
I thought that we'd be together
Fly with the stars forever
From the top of the world
Without a care
Even though you denied me
I carry your heart inside me
From the top of the world
Without a care
Though you're leaving me now
I'll see you again
Have to move on somehow
I'll miss you my friend.
I'll be there
(I'll be there)
Unaware.
I don't care
I thought that we'd be together
Fly with the stars forever
From the top of the world
Without a care
Even though you denied me
I carry your heart inside me
From the top of the world
Without a care
I'll be there (I'll be there)
From the top of the world (No where)
Without a care (I don't care)
Without a (I'll be there)
Without a (I'll be there)
Unaware (From the top)
I don't care (Of the world)
Without a (I'll be there)
Without a (I'll be there)
Unaware (From the top)
I don't care (Of the world)
The theme of the song "Without" by Escape From Earth is about a lost love that the singer is reminiscing about. The opening lines, "Do I dare disturb the air that you left standing in?" suggests that the singer is worried about tampering with the past and disrupting the memory of the relationship that they held with their lover. The dreamlike qualities of the song's lyrics, "Is this really just a dream? It couldn't happen to me," adds to the overall mood of nostalgia and the desire to return back to a time of happiness.
The second half of the song shifts from being lost in the past to acceptance of the present. The lyrics, "Though you're leaving me now I'll see you again, have to move on somehow, I'll miss you my friend" suggest that the singer has come to terms with the fact that their lover is gone, but they still hold fond memories of the past. The repetition of "without a care" highlights the singer's desire to go back to a time of blissful ignorance where they could be with their lover without worry.
Overall, "Without" by Escape From Earth encapsulates the bittersweet longing for a love that is no longer there, while also highlighting the possibility of moving on.
