The Great Escape
The Great Escape: Finding Freedom in a Bad Day
Lyrics
Bad day, looking for a way home,
Expressing a difficult day and searching for a way back home.
Looking for the great escape.
Seeking a significant escape from current troubles or challenges.
Gets in his car and drives away,
Getting into a car and driving away to distance oneself.
Far from all the things that we are.
Escaping from the aspects of life that define who "we" are.
Puts on a smile and breathes it in
Putting on a smile, inhaling deeply, and exhaling; a coping mechanism.
And breathes it out, he says,
Repeating the breathing action, perhaps to find calmness or composure.
Bye bye bye to all of the noise.
Saying goodbye to the surrounding noise and disturbances.
Oh, he says, bye bye bye to all of the noise.
Reiterating the departure from unwanted noise or chaos.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Repeating melodic expressions, possibly emphasizing a soothing rhythm.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Hey child, things are looking down.
Addressing a child, acknowledging a tough situation but suggesting it's temporary.
That's okay, you don't need to win anyways.
Encouraging the child that winning is not crucial; implying resilience.
Don't be afraid, just eat up all the gray
Advising not to fear, to accept challenges (gray) as they will fade away.
And it will fade all away.
Emphasizing that facing difficulties will lead to their eventual disappearance.
Don't let yourself fall down.
Urging not to succumb to challenges and difficulties.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Repeating melodic expressions, possibly to reinforce positive messaging.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-Bad day, looking for the great escape.
Revisiting the theme of a challenging day and the search for a great escape.
He says, bad day, looking for the great escape.
Affirming the continuation of a difficult day and the pursuit of escape.
On a bad day, looking for the great escape,
Repeating the desire for a great escape on a bad day.
The great escape.
Reiterating the quest for "The Great Escape."
