Escape
Lake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just need something that will take me away

I'd throw my heart into your fire, when I was blind
And you knew that I'd come crawling back, and you knew you'd always find me there
But this time some things are gonna change, I'm breaking out
And I know someday I'll be ok, and I know someday I'll stand again

But this won't be the end of me
'cause I'm breaking away

I just need something that will take me away
To help me disconnect to get you off my mind
I just need something that will give me the strength to get away from you
To escape from here

And as I'm sifting through the ash, I find myself
And you knew that I'd come crawling back, and you knew you'd always find me there
But I'm sure you're never gonna change, 'cause you've learned this all before
And I know that you'll come crawling back, but I swear you'll never find me there

I just need something that will take me away
To help me disconnect to get you off my mind
I just need something that will give me the strength to get away from you
To escape from here

What was I waiting for, The years went flying by me
And I can't ever get them back
What was I afraid of, I just want to live my life while I'm still alive
'cause I'm still alive

I just need something that will make me numb
To help me disappear, to anywhere but here

You'll break away

I just need something that will take me away
To help me disconnect to get you off my mind
I just need something that will give me the strength to get away from you
To escape from here





For now I'm fine, for now I just want to live my life while I'm alive
For now I'm fine, for now I just want to live my life while I'm alive

Overall Meaning

In Lake's song Escape, the singer is looking for something to take them away from their current situation, which appears to be a toxic relationship. The singer admits that in the past they have thrown their heart into the fire of the relationship, even though they were blind to the harm it was causing them. The other person in the relationship always knew the singer would come back, but this time things are different. The singer is breaking out and looking for something to help them disconnect and get the other person off their mind. It seems that the singer has finally found the strength to escape from the relationship and move on with their life.


The lyrics show that the singer has gone through a process of self-discovery and growth. They have sifted through the ashes of the relationship and found themselves. The singer acknowledges that the other person in the relationship is unlikely to change, but they have learned from their past mistakes and won't be going back. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's need to escape and find something that will help them disconnect and get the other person off their mind. The second verse shows that the singer has come to realize the value of their life and is determined to live it to the fullest.


Overall, Escape is a powerful song about finding the strength to escape a toxic relationship and move forward with life.

I think the the alternate ending "change your fate" has to do with what happened in cube escape: Seasons --------if you want to know the code is under the following spoiler.


Spoiler Believe me you won't love to read this untill you play cube escape: seasons


after knowing that woman changed her fate and she is the black figure who killed her, this game was to show how the woman died and the alternate ending was to emphasize what happened in cube escape: seasons preventing the shadowy figure (herself) from killing her (that's why knowing the code requires playing cube seasons)....i think the black cube is the thoughts or the bad memories that made her commit suicide (she took prozac in cube escape: seasons).
or at least that what came to my mind.


The code is 1487.

@Antoinette Wooten I'd even venture to say that this one is easy compared to others, like, for example, paradox.

Agi George

Don't you just hate when you cut open a fish and a tree grows out of it

M e l o d y

Yes, it happens all the time and I'm getting sick of it.

I'm so bored

You get fish when you go fishing?
I keep catching corrupted sould by the hand and it's really annoying since I have to stab them to actually get something, and that's an apple
AN APPLE FOR FISHING
