beyond the chaos
Escape the Chaos: Embracing Youth and Freedom with Megan Shumway
Lyrics
I think we should get away
I want us to leave this place.
Take a break from here
To take a pause or rest from our current situation.
Get a van, plan our escape
Plan an escape using a van as our means of transport.
And we can disappear
To disappear or go unnoticed.
We could drive for hours
To travel for extended periods.
Shout our worries to the breeze
To express our worries openly.
Burn our broken bridges
To let go of connections that have been damaged.
And dance in the debris
To celebrate amidst the aftermath of those broken connections.
Cause somewhere among the chaos
In the chaos of life, I lost touch with my youthful spirit.
I forgot to be young
However, we'll move past the pain.
But we'll put the pain behind us
Our potential hasn't been fully realized yet.
Our song's not yet been sung
Immersing ourselves in the beauty of the night sky.
We'd get drunk on starlight
Embracing life with a carefree attitude.
Let the wind blow through our hair
Living boldly without reservations.
Young and wild and wonderful
To release ourselves from the anxiety and fear.
Living without a dare
To pack up swiftly and prepare for change.
Forget all the anxiety
Similar to line 10, losing touch with youth in chaos.
And fear that tied us down
To move on from pain and embrace new beginnings.
Grab your bags and hold on tight
To hold onto belongings tightly for the journey ahead.
It's time we blow this town
Expresses urgency to leave the current situation.
Cause somewhere among the chaos
Reiteration of feeling disconnected from youthful energy.
I forgot to be young
To leave behind the pain felt amidst chaos.
But we'll put that pain behind us
It's time to express ourselves fully.
It's time our songs are sung
A desire to let loose and take control.
All I wanna do
To act without caring about consequences.
Is just be reckless
To regain power over one's life.
Take back some sweet control
Feeling powerless in the current circumstances.
Cause I feel helpless
An indication of internal struggles.
And if you look within, under my skin, you'll find
Feeling trapped and limited internally.
A caged bird, shackled and confined
An imagery of feeling restricted and yearning for freedom.
Singing faint freedom's song
Expressing a longing for freedom.
But I promise it won't be long
An assurance that freedom will eventually be attained.
Till she's flying free
Anticipating the eventual freedom.
Just wait and see
Awaiting the realization of promised freedom.
I'm healing with all of the people
Recovery and growth through connections.
Closest to me
The importance of support from loved ones.
Somewhere beyond the chaos
Hope for a future beyond the current turmoil.
