Escape
Othersame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I ran away from all I did
Can’t remember the last time I felt alive
I’ll break myself
Away from the person that I wanna be
If it’s all you’re asking from me
And maybe, everything has its purpose in the end
But I’m letting it tear a part of me
You’ll break yourself
Away from the person that you wanna be
If it's what I'm asking
Would you bear all this pain
And if it seems everlasting
Remember that in our heads
Just reflections of times when we used to escape
From here, from us
The clock is ticking
Everytime it keeps getting faster
And know this isn’t a part of life
Where it gets better
The lyrics of Othersame's song "Escape" describe the feeling of being stuck and lost, and the desire to break free from the self-imposed limitations that keep one from living the life they want to live. The singer acknowledges that they have been running away from their past and they can't remember the last time they truly felt alive. They are willing to break themselves away from the person that they want to be if that's what others are asking from them. The singer also acknowledges that everything has its purpose in the end, but they are letting it tear a part of themselves and crash on others. The song ends with a reminder that the clock is ticking, and life is not always better.
The theme of "Escape" is relatable to many people who may have felt trapped in their lives due to circumstances or their own self-doubt. The lyrics suggest that the only way to overcome such feelings is to break away from the past and embrace a new beginning. The repetition of "Escape" in the chorus serves as a reminder of the need to escape, not only physical places but also emotional or mental limitations.
