Song 153

 Song 153

Hellooooooo My fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! I have a really fun one for you today! This song I found by myself, I really love it. It's called Escape by World War Me feat. Nicholas Matthews from Get Scared! I have never heard of this band before, but I do know who Nick is because I like Get Scared. When I was listening to this one, and I heard him come on the track. His voice fit this so well, and the band's singer's voice as well. Their voices melded together very nicely. Ok, my intro is over. So let's get into it! 

The intro on this song is what drew me in, it has this really fun drum beat going on at the beginning. Then in comes the guitar, shredding it up in the best way! I love shredding. Just really fun, and gets you moving. We also have some stumming, bringing the melody. Which leads us into the first verse: "Broke down by the mess I made, destroyed like a heartbreak hand grenade. Is there a better way to leave my past behind? And my scattered thoughts, are endless plots. To kill my mind, I'm broken by design." Judging by this first verse, I feel like this song could be about mental health. The chorus: "If I could just pretend, that everything is in my hands. I could stay awake forever, try to comprehend. That I'm not broken, no I'm not left for dead. If I could stay awake forever, maybe I'd escape this hell I'm in." This is where Nick comes in. I'd say this is pop punk, which you all know I'm a sucker for. And I think this chorus, further confirms my interpretation that this song is about mental health. I listen to a lot of songs like this, so it's kind of easy to pick up on it. I totally understand feeling broken, or feeling like there's something wrong with you. I've been there, a lot. But somehow, you start to think that, maybe other people are the weird ones. I still have moments where I feel like, I'm too odd for society. But you know what? Screw what society thinks! As long as you're true to yourself, that's what matters. The second verse: "I've gone through a million ways, found out that my mind is just a slave. To everything that I've encountered, loud, ring. How I'm f-ing suffering, what a good for nothing, I've become." The chorus repeats, and it brings us into the bridge: "Help now, as I'm lost in emotion. As I drown in the ocean of fear, and I am hell bend on buying your dying devotion. Swept away in the motion so clear." I like how this was sung, I'm not sure how to analyze it though. The chorus repeats, at the end of the song. No outro, the song just ends with a final strum of the guitar. Which is fine, I feel like this song doesn't really need one. The vocals are great, melody is on point, instrumentals arranged quite nicely, a really fun listen with some meaningful words. 

That's it for this review, I will see you all in the next one! I hope you consider checking it out, and happy listening my fellow music nerds! :)
