Escape
MaJLo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of makin' all mistakes
Still lookin' for a place
It will be my escape
I know, I know
Crawling back to you
So many things to lose
To call you proper name
I'm wrong, I'm wrong
I won't be lookin' for excuse
I won't be hidin' here alone
I hope we'll meet again in snow
I know I'll find the proper words
We used to have it all
But then another fall
All the lights were on
There was no light at all
So long, so long
Fading memories
Complicated dreams
Above the trees we met
We are not happy yet
I want, I want
The song "Escape" by MaJLo talks about the artist's search for a safe space, a place where they can be themselves and feel free from the pressures of the world. The theme of the song can be interpreted in different ways. One could see it as a search for inner peace, a desire to escape the past, or a yearning for a better future. The lyrics express the artist's acceptance of making mistakes and not being perfect, yet still having hope of finding a place where they belong.
The lines "Crawling back to you, so many things to lose" could suggest that the artist has been in a toxic relationship, which they are now trying to leave behind. The line "Failing in that game to call you proper name" further confirms the dysfunction in the relationship. The artist acknowledges that they are wrong, and there are things they need to fix to make the relationship right again.
The chorus reinforces the theme of escapism, "We used to have it all, but then another fall. All the lights were on, there was no light at all." The artist seems to be saying that once they had everything they wanted, but something went wrong. They hope to meet their lover again in the snow, which could represent a new phase in their life. The artist also promises to find the right words to make amends.

Everything was open and transparent
There was no light at all
But despite that, there was nothing good
So long, so long
Goodbye, farewell
Fading memories
Memories that are slowly disappearing
Complicated dreams
Difficult, confusing aspirations
Above the trees we met
We met in a place above the trees
We are not happy yet
We aren't content with where we are
I want, I want
I have unfulfilled desires

Powiem tak, nie wiem skąd się pojawiłeś i jak Cię znalazłam, lecz wiem, że długo nie przestanę słuchać twoich piosenek. Podziwiam tą inność i wyjątkowość, rzadko można spotkać jeszcze gdzieś takich wokalistów.

Fantastyczna kompozycja. Jestem dumny z jego muzyki. Zachwycająca. Boje się ze zaraz swiat sie o nim dowie i stanie sie Edem Sheeranem...
