Great Escape
Yearning for Freedom: Washed Out's 'Great Escape' Meaning
Lyrics
All I want is someone I can lean on
All I want is a supportive person to rely on.
All I need is the simple life
All I need is a life that is uncomplicated and straightforward.
Make believe the world has vanished around us
Imagining a world where problems disappear around us.
We could sneak away and not come back
Suggesting the desire to escape reality and not return.
We'll run far away
Expressing the intention to travel a significant distance.
And make a great escape
Desiring to make a grand and liberating getaway.
We can hide out
Planning to find a place to hide and stay there.
Won't look back
Committing to moving forward without dwelling on the past.
Slow it down for a while
Choosing to slow down the pace of life for a period.
We'll be alright
Believing that everything will be fine in the end.
You and I
Referring to a collective journey or experience between two people.
Far away from it all
Envisioning being far away from the challenges of life.
All I want is a place I can belong
Expressing the desire for a place where one feels accepted.
All I need is some peace of mind
Seeking a state of calm and contentment in the mind.
We could sneak away and start all over
Imagining starting anew by escaping from current circumstances.
We could leave today and not come back
Contemplating leaving the present behind permanently.
We'll run far away
Reiterating the desire to embark on a significant journey.
And make a great escape
Expressing the intention to make a remarkable and freeing escape.
