Еscapism Lyrics – Raye



Soundtrack Album: How to Have Sex
Еscapism Text
Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him
All of my diamonds are drippin' on him
I met him at the bar, it was 12 or somethin'
I ordered two more wines, 'cause tonight, I want him
A little context if you care to listen
I find myself in a sh*t position
The man that I love sat me down last night
And he told me that it's over, dumb decision
And I don't wanna feel how my heart is rippin'
In fact, I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sippin'
And I'm out on the town with a simple mission
In my little black dress, and this sh*t is sittin'
Just a heart broke b**ch, high heels, six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne
I don't trust any of these b**ches I'm with
In the back of the taxi, sniffin' cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was lookin' for a man who was on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me, take this pain away
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel
Toke this joint how I'm blowin' this steam
Back to my ways like 2019
Not 24 hours since my ex did dead it
I got a new man on me, it's about to get sweaty
Last night really was the cherry on the cake
Been some dark days lately and I'm finding it crippling
Excuse my state, I'm as high as your hopes
That you'll make it to my bed, get me hot and sizzling
If I take a step back to see the glass half full
At least it's the Prada two-piece that I'm trippin' in
And I'm already actin' like a dick, know what I mean?
So you might as well stick it in
Just a heart broke b**ch, high heels, six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne
I don't trust any of these b**ches I'm with
In the back of the taxi, sniffin' cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was lookin' for a man who was on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me, take this pain away
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel, mm (what?)
'Cause I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
Be at peace with the things you can't change (last night)
I'll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah
Out of reach, out of touch, too numb, I don't feel no way
Toast up, so what? Street small, but it go both ways
So you'll run, yeah, but you'll never escape
Sunset in the maze (you're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel)
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night, oh
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Mm, lipstick smudged like modern art
I don't know where the f**k I am or who's drivin' the f**kin' car
Speedin' down the highway, sippin'
Mixin' pills with the liquor 'cah f**k these feelings
I left everyone I love on read (uh-huh)
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (uh-huh)
I remember nothing, so there's nothing to regret (uh-huh)
Other than this 4-4 kick drum poundin' in my head

"Escapism" by Raye is a vivid portryal of a person seeking to escape emotional pain and heartbreak through indulgence in reckless and self-destructive behavior. The song opens with Raye seeking distraction and solace in physical pleasure and material extravagance, following a painful breakup. She finds herself gravitating towards a stranger, using superficial connections as a temporary balm for her wounds. The verses delve deeper into the emotional turmoil that Raye is expriencing. She candidly describes her struggle with the end of a significant relationship, revealing how this event has catapulted her into a state of emotional chaos. The choice of coping mechanisms – partying, alcohol, and casual encounters – is portrayed as a desperate attempt to numb her feelings and avoid confronting the pain of the breakup. The chorus, with its repeated plea to the doctor to take the pain away, symbolizes a cry for help. It reflects the overwhelming nature of her emotions, to the point where Raye is seeking any form of relief, even if it's through escapism. The song suggests a cycle of self-destruction and regret, highlighted by her return to 'old ways' despite recognizing their toxicity. Furthermore, the collaboration with 070 Shake adds another dimension to the song, underscoring the universal nature of such experiences. The lyrics reflect a shared understanding of pain and the futile attempts to run away from it, suggesting that such feelings are inescapable and part of the human condition. In essence, "Escapism" is a raw and honest depiction of how people sometimes deal with emotional pain. It captures the complexity of human emotions, the difficulty of moving on from a broken relationship, and the often self-destructive paths people take in an attempt to heal.
