Escapist Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the mood of the song with a rhythmic and repetitive chant, almost like a build-up. It creates an energetic and hypnotic vibe, drawing the listener in. The repeated “watch me” suggests confidence and a carefree attitude, as if the artist is about to break free from whatever is holding him back. It feels like he’s getting ready to escape, setting the tone for the rest of the song.

[Chorus]
This part invites someone to leave everything behind and just enjoy the moment. It’s about escaping from stress, distractions, and the constant noise of life. The mention of leaving the phone behind emphasizes being present and living in the moment. The artist craves peace and freedom, and he wants the listener to join him in this spontaneous getaway.

[Verse 1]
Here, the artist talks about feeling disconnected from reality. He admits to struggling with stress and pressure from people around him. Even when others demand his attention, he just wants to relax and do his own thing—like watching a movie on a plane. He acknowledges that he’s not perfect, yet someone still finds him impressive. He also addresses how people assume he’s always chasing after fun, but in reality, he’s just trying to escape from his stress. Driving fast and ignoring texts are his ways of coping. When things get overwhelming, he buys a ticket and gets away. He doesn’t care about the reactions of those left behind, choosing to focus on his own well-being instead.

[Pre-Chorus]
The artist expresses feeling uncomfortable in certain situations, which pushes him to leave. The repetition of “I gotta go” emphasizes his urgent need to escape. It’s like he reaches a point where he can’t take it anymore and just has to run.

[Chorus]
Again, the song reinforces the idea of escaping from life’s stress and distractions. The artist wants someone to come with him, forget their phone, and just enjoy the ride. He needs peace and freedom, and he’s looking for an escape from his usual surroundings.

[Verse 2]
The artist considers moving to a quieter place just to find peace. He talks about spending money freely as a way to enjoy life and escape stress. He compares himself to an unleashed dog, emphasizing his wild and carefree nature. He also mentions how people think he’s just showing off with his music, but to him, rapping is like a workout—it’s just something he does naturally. He admits to making reckless decisions without thinking of the consequences. He spends money on things that make him feel different, even getting diamonds on his teeth. He doesn’t want to be seen as shallow, but he knows he is sensitive. In the end, he keeps running from responsibility, even getting recognized by airport security, hinting at how often he’s on the move.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, he talks about feeling uneasy in certain situations. When things get too much, he has to leave. The repetition of “watch me” adds a sense of urgency and determination to his escape.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the message of leaving everything behind and seeking peace. The artist invites someone to escape with him, emphasizing the importance of living in the moment and disconnecting from the stress of daily life.

[Outro]
In the outro, the artist makes it clear that he’s done with whatever situation is bothering him. He’s leaving, and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. The phrase “watch me” suggests confidence and determination, as if he’s proving a point by walking away from it all.
