Escape
Lä-ppisch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

長い(長い)休みが来た
さあ何をして遊ぼう
朝の電車の時刻も気にする事はない
安い(安い)切ぷを買って
飛行機より上に行こう
途中でおなかがすけば
ゴミの山でもあさろう
誰も見ちゃいないさ

みんな見て見ぬふりしてる
たとえ変な顔してても
すぐに忘れるんだろう?
高い(高い)所に昇れば
みんな同じに見える
だから一生懸命
背比べしたってだめさ
遠い(遠い)町に住んでいる
少女が訪ねて来た
一緒にダンボールを広げて
おきにいりの色にぬろう
誰も見ちゃいないさ
みんな見て見ぬふりしてる
イヤな顔してても本当は

うらやましいんだろう?
escape escape.....

Overall Meaning

The Japanese lyrics of Lä-ppisch's song "Escape" translate to:
"A long (long) vacation has come,
What should we do for fun?
There's no need to worry about the morning train schedule.
Buy some cheap (cheap) tickets and let's go higher than an airplane.
If we get hungry along the way,
Let's scrounge for food in the pile of garbage.
Nobody would watch,
Everybody is pretending not to see.
Even if we make a weird face,
They would forget about it soon, right?
If we climb up high (high),
Everything looks the same for everyone.
Therefore, even if we try our best
To compare our heights, it won't work.
A girl from a far (far) town
Came to visit.
Let's spread out the cardboard together
And color it with our favorite color.
Nobody would watch,
Everybody is pretending not to see.
Even if they make a bad face,
They're probably just envious, right?
Escape, escape..."

The song talks about the desire to escape from the mundane routine of life and enjoy the simple pleasures without worrying about what others think. The lyrics encourage people to be themselves, have fun, and not care about how they look or what others might think of them. The idea of escaping is reinforced throughout the song with the repeated use of the word "escape."
