James Dean
Midnight Escape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay far away,
Need to learn to, need learn to
Forget the past and move on, is it killing you inside?
Name with no face's social suicide
Say that you changed, yourself remains the same
I won the battle and it's putting you through hell
I won the battle and it's putting you right through hell
[Verse 1:]
You can't stick to just one story
Cause your best laid plans ended in agony
And I regret not expressing every word I meant, and apologizing
Your confessing to me as a victum of your lies was torturing
Degrating words shattered every piece of me
Your closeted kiss is still haunting
But you, blackened flag, are just her history
[Chorus:]
Renegades scar forever
That forever is destroying me (Your throne ends today! )
Here comes another shot of jealousy
Well maybe you should stop and examine your mind
Discover why we want you out of our lives
Can you not see, with friends like you, Hepburn doesn't need an enemy
[Verse 2:]
"It's not me, it's you" is the real optimistic saying
Soap opera of society
You tried and cried? You tried and cried?
Yeah right you took it back before you regret those words we could use
Just bite your tounge
Mind erase him Audrey
Cut him out of your life, just click delete already
Or are you keeping something from everyone else?
[Chorus:]
Renegades scar forever
That forever is destroying me (Your throne ends today! )
Here comes another shot of jealousy
Well maybe you should stop and examine your mind
Discover why we want you out of our lives (Your throne ends today! )
Can you not see, with friends like you, Hepburn doesn't need an enemy
[Bridge:]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Agree to disagree
More like mutual rivalry
The past-she's known you longer; but this ending's caused by today
Agree to disagree
More like mutual rivalry
The past-she's known you longer; but this ending's caused by today
[Chorus:]
Renegades scar forever
That forever is destroying me (Your throne ends today! )
Here comes another shot of jealousy
Well maybe you should stop and examine your mind
Discover why we want you out of our lives (Your throne ends today! )
Can you not see, with friends like you, Hepburn doesn't need an enemy
(You're not trust worth)
Renegades scar forever
(You're not trust-believed in)
That forever is destroying me
(You're not the one. You're not trustworthy) (ooh)
Here comes another shot of jealousy
(You're not trust worth)
Well maybe you should stop and examine your mind
(You're not trust-believed in)
Discover why we want you out of our lives
(You're not the one)
Can you not see, with friends like you
(You're not trustworthy)
Hepburn doesn't need an enemy.
The song "James Dean" by Midnight Escape tells a tale of a toxic friendship and the destruction it can cause. The lyrics give the listener an insight into the singer's feelings towards their friend who they believe has betrayed them. In the beginning, the lyrics suggest that the friend is still stuck in the past and unable to move on, which is affecting their present relationships. The singer has already won the battle and moved on, but their friend's inability to do so is causing chaos in their lives.
The first and second verses describe how the friend's lies and secrets have caused pain and hurt to the singer. The chorus expresses the damage that the friend's behavior is doing, and they need to take responsibility for their actions. The bridge highlights the differences between the two friends, leaving them with nothing but mutual rivalry and jealousy.
The song has a melancholic feel that conveys the emotional pain the singer experiences during the loss of their friendship. Ultimately, the song portrays the singer's desire for their friend to be honest with themselves and take responsibility for their actions, so they can both move on from the toxic situation.

@julieabraham3566
I saw Song of the South in the theatre when I was 8. I knew nothing of the controversies tied to it. All I saw was a film about a nice man who, through kind words, songs, and stories, spread joy from his heart to make other people happy. I remember very little about the film itself, but it does make me sad that things got complicated to the point that now it's considered a bad film.
@Girlhead
Hey- I am genuinely curious what you mean by "things got complicated enough" for it to be considered a "bad" film.
@mckinleycason8884
I was like you, saw it as a child, and thought the exact same thing.

@nadiayar8665
"Things got complicated" is an interesting way to avoid stating the fact that the US have turned into a leftist totalitarian terror state. I'm sure happy I don't live there, as there was a chance for my family emigrating there in the early 1990s.

That’s why they don’t like it. It shows people getting along. Doesn’t go with the agenda.

The original Star Wars Trilogy, or Why I Still Own a VCR.
