spacious, provoking. Emotional and hopeful.
Story behind the song
A song describing the inner turmoil of a daughters thoughts towards her mother who suffered from Schizophrenia. Perhaps its a plea for her mothers freedom?
Looking for hope that her mother may change one day and experience a personal freedom from the voices. The chorus is dual in nature as the daughter too wants to escape this asylum that she has been in. It is also a recount of the effects of shock treatment in the seventies and how it causes people to become zombie like, as described in the chorus and second verse.
Lyrics
ESCAPING THE ASYLUM
I heard that you were looking for the plane that crashed ten years ago.
I heard that you were hoping to grow wings and fly to pluto.
I heard you laughing when I said I found out, what my life should be.
She said free me into another world she said free me into another dimension. There she goes, escaping the asylum.
Time, Space,Love & Grace yeah.
Look past the ground look all around
look up and down yeah.
I cried when I saw how fast, you were dying,
Your hungry expression made me think
just a little bit more.
Why did you let them do what you
never wanted to choose. She said......
