This Town
Escape the Cruelty: Wyatt Garrett's Town of Lost Souls
Lyrics
And I see that things changed
Expressing awareness of changes in the surroundings.
New faces, new places, and all I'm doing is erasing
Feeling the impact of new people and places while trying to forget past memories.
Memories in my mind
Reflecting on memories shared with someone in the town.
Of you and I in this little old town of mine
Nostalgic reference to the singer and another person's presence in the town.
I hate this town and everyone else that's in it
Expressing a strong dislike for the town and its inhabitants.
Hate when we're up and they hate that we're winning
Disliking the negative reactions when successful.
Everybody's fake, got me burning down bridges
Perceiving everyone as fake and damaging relationships.
I feel like I've lost myself for a minute
Feeling a temporary loss of self-identity.
I hate this town and everyone else that's in it
Reiterating strong negative feelings toward the town and its residents.
Hate when we're up and they hate that we're winning
Resentment for others' dislike when succeeding.
Everybody's fake, got me burning down bridges
Noticing the artificiality in relationships, leading to burning bridges.
I feel like I've lost myself for a minute
Continuing to feel disconnected from oneself.
I've lost myself
Expressing a sense of personal loss and struggle.
I'm just a kid and I'm living through hell
Describing the challenges of youth and difficult experiences.
This town's so cruel
Characterizing the town as harsh and unforgiving.
Everyday I wake up to nothing new
Highlighting the monotony of life without positive changes.
Nothing new
Emphasizing the lack of novelty in daily experiences.
And I see that things changed
Repeating the observation of changes in the environment.
New faces, new places, and all I'm doing is erasing
Reiteration of erasing memories in the midst of changes.
Memories in my mind
Continuing to reflect on shared memories with someone in the town.
Of you and I in this little old town of mine
Revisiting the nostalgia associated with the town.
I hate this town and everyone else that's in it
Reiterating strong negative feelings toward the town and its residents.
Hate when we're up and they hate that we're winning
Repeating resentment for others' reactions to success.
Everybody's fake, got me burning down bridges
Reiterating the perception of artificial relationships and consequences.
I feel like I've lost myself for a minute
Re-emphasizing a temporary loss of self-identity.
I hate this town and everyone else that's in it
Reiterating strong negative feelings toward the town and its residents.
Hate when we're up and they hate that we're winning
Repeating resentment for others' dislike when succeeding.
Everybody's fake, got me burning down bridges
Reiterating the observation of artificiality in relationships.
I feel like I've lost myself for a minute
Re-emphasizing a continued sense of disconnection from oneself.
I know, if I had a chance to get out of here I would
Expressing a desire to escape the town if given the opportunity.
And you know
Acknowledging a shared sentiment that others would also leave.
That you do the same, so I'm not to blame for much
Asserting innocence, stating that one is not to blame for the situation.
I know, if I had a chance to get out of here I would
Reiterating the desire to leave the town if the chance arises.
And you know
Reiterating the shared sentiment that others would also leave.
That you do the same, so I'm not to blame for much
Reiterating innocence, emphasizing not being responsible for the circumstances.
(I hate this town and everyone else that's in it)
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the strong negative emotions and self-identity struggles.
(Hate when we're up and they hate that we're winning)
-(Everybody's fake, got me burning down bridges)
-(I feel like I've lost myself for a minute)
