Episode 11: Escape (demo)

by Lauren on May 20th, 2007

I has write a new song! :D This is the first song I’ve written all by myself in months (guitars and lyrics) and the first song I’ve written that I actually like. Escape encapsulates what I feel about depression and the desperation to do something–anything–to get myself out of that funk. Lately I realized that traveling gives me a vacation from life and from myself, but it’s a vicious cycle really. The happier I am when I’m traveling, the more depressed I get when I have to return.

For obvious reasons I couldn’t exactly drag Kristel over to my place to record, so I’m doing this singing here. Please don’t expect much out of my voice; there’s a reason why I’m doing back-up vocals. :P Oh, and we’ve decided to retain the name Borderline Virgins although Kimi, our original bassist, will be sorely missed. It won’t be the same without her. :(

Escape
By Borderline Virgins

I’m going away today
I’m tired of running this race
I’m packing my bags
I’m not looking back
at this sordid space

Don’t know where I’ll end up
but it’s gotta be better than this
I’ll take one for the road
cos it’s something that I’m gonna miss

I’m flying away
from this desolate place
from this desperate state
I’ll be happy today
but it’s just an escape
but it’s just an escape
The moment fades

I’m riding a speeding bus
down a road that I’ve never been
I’m letting the wind chase down
the sweat crawling out of my skin

Don’t know where I am now
but that doesn’t matter to me
Reality’s too far
and the sunlight is all I can see

I’m flying away
from this desolate place
from this desperate state
Hey hey hey
I’ll be happy today
but it’s just an escape
but it’s just an escape

Don’t want to go back to
the place where I should belong
Tomorrow comes too soon
and then everything good will go wrong

I’ll do all that it takes
to get out of this place
to get out of this state
Hey hey hey
I’ll be happy someday
cos someday I’ll escape
cos someday I’ll escape

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Hey hey hey
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
The moment fades
