Hey you! out there in the cold 
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me 
Hey you! Standing in the aisles 
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me 
Hey you! don't help them to bury the live 
Don't give in without a fight. 
Hey you! out there on your own 
Sitting naked by the phone would you touch me 
Hey you! with your ear against the wall 
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me 
Hey you! would you help me to carry the stone 
Open your heart, I'm coming home 
But it was only a fantasy 
The wall was too high as you can see 
No matter how he tried he could not break free 
And the worms ate into his brain. 
Hey you! out there on the road 
Always doing what you're told, can you help me 
Hey you! out there beyond the wall 
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me 
Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all 
Together we stand, divided we fall.

Dream Theater - Scarred (Alberto Rigoni bass cover)

"Escape" was this weird departure from all my other high school stuff. While I was writing love songs and heartbreak ballads, this thing came out of nowhere - pure horror movie madness. I was probably watching way too many slasher flicks at the time.

It's basically about being stuck in some sick game where something's hunting you down. That opening line "You play the game, but you don't know it well" - I was imagining this scenario where you're thrown into a nightmare and don't even know the rules, but if you lose, you're dead.

I went through this phase where I couldn't get enough psychological thrillers. All that imagery about rusted doors and shadows that move and stare back at you from the void - that came from this recurring dream I had about being trapped in an endless maze. Scared the hell out of me, but made for good lyrics.

The whole "Escape" chorus repeating over and over was supposed to feel frantic, like someone running around banging on walls looking for a way out. When I wrote "there's no damned doors in sight," I could feel that panic when you realize every exit has vanished.

That third verse gets really trippy - "when you wake up, you'll find yourself on the ground." I wasn't even sure if I meant it was all a dream or if that's the moment you realize the game's over and you lost. Maybe both.

This was probably my most cinematic song from that era. I could see it as the soundtrack to some 80s horror flick. When AI helped me bring it to life, I made sure it had that driving, relentless energy that never lets up - just like the fear the lyrics describe.

Looking back, it's interesting how even as a teenager I was exploring themes way beyond teenage romance. Sometimes your brain just goes to dark places and demands a soundtrack.
