Escape
Return To Innocence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
White crow, black peacock
The moon is shining, black castle
The winged snake is cereding - from the sea
Dreams have already been broken down and the night
Is dying, hate, evil, horrible might, I don't want to sleep
- well it's a day now
Cold is reflecting from faces
Eyes your face are pale
Angels and world permanent
Theres no place for the escape
Dreams have been already broken down and the night
Is dying, the hate cutting through my dream
No, don't want to sleep, I haven't got no power to
Kill or live, I don't know how - to go on
The pain persecuting the shadow, don't know how
From the darkness and what to do with this
The black north wind is blowing and I can only hope
- in the end
the girl's scream is cutting
through the darkness
ticking of clock
is resounding brightly
some unknown might pushing me back and
I don't want a pain, a poison and a remedy
The lyrics of Return To Innocence's song Escape paint a picture of a gloomy and cold landscape, filled with symbols of darkness and evil. The song begins with the description of the moon shining upon a black castle and a winged snake retreating from the sea. The imagery continues with the depiction of a white crow and a black peacock, symbolizing opposing forces of good and evil. The singer then reflects on the shattered dreams and the impending night of hate, evil, and horror. They resist sleep, unable to bear the pain and uncertainty that follows.
As the song progresses, the colorless faces and pale eyes of the people around them suggest a lack of vitality and hope. The singer acknowledges the presence of angels and the idea of a permanent world, but also recognizes that there's no place for them to escape. The pain continues to haunt them, and they feel powerless to either live or die. The ticking of the clock is a reminder of the limited time they have to find a way out of their suffering.
The final lines of the song capture the sense of being pushed back by an unknown force, as the screaming of a girl and the sound of the clock resonate in the darkness. The singer expresses the desire to avoid pain and seek refuge from the unbearable burden of existence.

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
The return to innocence
And if you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don'tโฆ
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
That's return to innocenc
