Escape
The Dose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is nothing to gain
The "gonna wait" train
Is a hardship in vain
Giving in won't help me escape
Feeling lonely while in rough shape
The more I stall the less I found
Ah-ahh
Ah-ahh-ah-ahh
Ah-ahh
Ah-ahh-ah-ahh
Miles come and go
Seem so close and then too far
Through the highs and lows
Thick and thin I'll face my scars
Giving in won't help me escape
Feeling lonely while in rough shape
The more I stall the less I found
In case you fall I'll be around
Giving in won't help me escape
Feeling lonely while in rough shape
The more I stall the less I found
In case you fall I'll be around
Ah-ahh
Ah-ahh-ah-ahh
Ah-ahh
Ah-ahh-ah-ahh
Ah-ahh
Ah-ahh-ah-ahh
Ah-ahh
Ah-ahh-ah-ahhhhhhh
The song "Escape" by The Dose speaks about the importance of facing one's problems head-on instead of delaying and escaping from them. The lyrics highlight that delaying pain and running away from challenges is not the solution, as it will only lead to more hardship and loneliness. The singer acknowledges that it is difficult to face one's scars, but it is necessary to deal with them to move forward. The repetition of the phrase "giving in won't help me escape" emphasizes this message.
The verse "Miles come and go, seem so close and then too far" portrays how the journey towards healing can feel long and difficult. Despite facing highs and lows, the singer states that they are committed to facing their scars and being there for others who may fall.
Overall, "Escape" encourages the audience to take responsibility for their problems and understand that delaying the pain does not solve anything. Instead, it is important to face one's scars and move forward with determination and resilience.
