The Escape
Ritual Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll hammer this one right into your face.
This is our only way to escape from this fucking mess.
It's all we want to, it's all we can do.
Twenty minutes, every night, there's no need to think about the world's demise.
A new adventure every day makes us brothers all the way.
It's all we can, it's all we want, all we fucking want.
We'll hammer this one right into your face

The most interesting part of this for me is that when he sees his friend, he sees his guilt but also his salvation, the ax. It's almost as if the friend is saying "I forgive you. Now be free." in the most literal sense. At least that's how I see it.

I remember my first close encounter with a moose. Didn't hallucinate that it was a mythical creature though.
