Escape
Our Last Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope you're comfortable
Just sit down, sit down
Where to start, I have no idea
We'll try to find shelter from this pouring rain
I think I see it
Home isn't where you make it anymore

who would have thought we'd make it this far
Now I don't know where to go

so I'll escape, escape to where I need to be
The water's getting higher and I need to breath
Where do we go now, I'll ask you once again
With our lungs gone, our lives are gone

open up my chest, you'll find no heart for this
Curiosity has taken over my insides
Eating away at my bones
When does this end

who would have thought we'd make it this far
Now I don't know where to go

so I'll escape, escape to where I need to be
The water's getting higher and I need to breath
Where do we go now, ill ask you once again
With our lungs gone, our lives are gone

where do we go now
The windshield crashes in and our memory starts to sprint away
The dust kicks up and our site is gone, oh, I didn't know

show me that were living




Show me what we're made of
Show me where to go

Overall Meaning

The song "Escape" by Our Last Night is an emotional track that describes feelings of being lost and searching for a way out. The opening lines "I hope you're comfortable, just sit down, where to start, I have no idea” set the tone for the song – a search for a solution to a problem that is overwhelming. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to find a way to cope with a difficult situation, and he needs to escape to find the answers he needs.


The next verse "Who would have thought we'd make it this far, now I don't know where to go" speaks of confusion and doubt, suggesting that the singer has achieved a lot but still feels lost. The sense of urgency is heightened when the chorus starts "So I'll escape, escape to where I need to be, the water's getting higher and I need to breathe”. The "water" symbolizes the pressure and stress that the singer feels, and he needs to escape to breathe again.


The lyrics continue to explore the themes of uncertainty and hopelessness. The verse "Open up my chest, you'll find no heart for this, curiosity has taken over my insides, eating away at my bones, when does this end" suggests that the singer is struggling with internal turmoil, and there is no easy solution to his problems. The song concludes with the repeated plea "Where do we go now, show me that we’re living, show me what we're made of, show me where to go". It suggests that there is no immediate answer, but there is hope for a better future where they can find a way to live their lives.

11 years later and this song still evokes the same emotions I felt at 13 years old. What a BANGER

Erik Jason

Nostalgia always strikes down whenever I listen or watch the music video. Early Our Last Night work was something else. 🎶

Gecko09

I saw these guys for the first time, they opened for Sky Eats Airplane and The Chariot. They were SOOOO good. This song is by far an all time favorite of mine.

Professor North

This album is iconic

N. John Stephen

Fans who got into this band recently don't even know this song! I remember when this came out, this band (alongside with Vanna) was like the first post-hardcore, metalcore (call it what want) band that I started listening to when I was like 14-15 lol. It's just great to see that they've gotten this big now. Remember your roots!

I got into dark horse and I stumbled upon this and it's amazing. 👌 I love their old and new stuff now.

FishLikeSteve I got into this back in 2009 in an epitaph podcast, I totally feel
You mate

Shaun Davies

Dude our last night used to be one of my favourite bands and this hole album was the best thing they did to date.

Mackalrath027

well now they seem to be trying to forget their roots lol - they hate all of their first two albums, never play them in concert despite knowing its what some fans really want. I get they they've changed, but to not appreciate all the things these albums did for them shows a real lack of character imo.

Holy fuck thank you ! I've been searching for an hour for Vanna . I couldn't remember for the life of me what their name was, it's probably been over 5 years since I've listened to them .thank you again
