Can't Escape
Unyielding Love: Battling the Inescapable Embrace
Lyrics
Verse 1
Opening of the song
Ive heard time can heal all pain
Expressing the belief that time can heal emotional pain
But the clocks can’t take my scars away
Despite time passing, emotional scars remain
I’m fighting a battle
Acknowledging an ongoing internal struggle
I can’t win
Feeling helpless in a battle that seems unwinnable
One touch of you and I’m falling again
Being vulnerable to the influence of someone special
Stuck on a feeling
Feeling trapped in intense emotions
You make me insane
Describing the impact of the person on the speaker
Pre
Beginning of the pre-chorus
For you I’d walk through the fire I don’t mind
Expressing willingness to endure challenges for the person
Or through the desert just to make it to you tonight
Willing to go through difficult situations to be with the person
And measure even if it means my life
Willing to sacrifice, even if it means risking life
I’m coming for you tonight
Declaring the intent to be with the person tonight
Chorus
Beginning of the chorus
We may bend but we won’t break and
Highlighting resilience in the face of challenges
When I leave my love still stays
Assuring that love remains even when physically apart
When you’re trapped inside a heart
Metaphorically being trapped in deep emotions
There’s no exits
Expressing the impossibility of escaping intense feelings
we can’t escape
Reiteration of the theme of emotional entrapment
Verse 2
Beginning of the second verse
How about we settle the score
Suggesting resolving conflicts and moving forward
Forget what we’ve been fighting for
Proposing to let go of past disagreements
Let’s light a candle and
Symbolic gesture of purification and renewal
Burn our sins
Expressing the desire to overcome mistakes
Forgive me and well start over again
Seeking forgiveness and a fresh start
You know I’m yours and You belong to me
Affirming a mutual commitment in the relationship
Pre
Beginning of the second pre-chorus
For you I’d walk through the fire I don’t mind
Reiteration of willingness to endure challenges for the person
Or through the desert just to make it to you tonight
Repeating the readiness to overcome obstacles for love
And measure even if it means my life
Emphasizing the depth of commitment, even at the risk of life
I’m coming for you tonight
Declaring the intent to be with the person tonight
Chorus
Beginning of the final chorus
We may bend but we won’t break and
Reassuring resilience in the face of challenges
When I leave my love still stays
Affirming that love persists even in absence
When you’re trapped inside a heart
Reiteration of being trapped in intense emotions
There’s no exits
Emphasizing the impossibility of escaping deep feelings
we can’t escape
Conclusion of the song with a repeated theme of emotional entrapment
