Metallica - Escape Lyrics & Meanings
Escape Lyrics & Meanings: Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy / I know I'm my best friend / No one cares, but I'm so much stronger / I'll fight until the end / To escape from the true false world / Undamaged destiny / Can't get caught in the endless circle / Ring of stupidity / / Out for my own, out to be free / One with my mind, they just can't see / No need to hear things that they say / Life is for my own to live my own way / / Rape my mind and destroy my feelings / Don't tell my what to do / I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side / And I can see through you / Feed my brain with your so called standards / Who says that I ain't right / Break away from your common fashion / See through your blurry sight / / Out for my own, out to be free / One with my mind, they just can't see / No need to hear things that they say / Life is for my own to live my own way / / See them try to bring the hammer down / No damn chains can hold me to the ground / / Life is for my own to live my own way / Life is for my own
