This song from the Metallica’s second album was one that largely went unnoticed.
This is James Hetfield’s single most hated Metallica song, because the record company had forced them to write something more radio friendly. They refused to ever play it live, until 2012 at Orion Music Festival, when...
Escape Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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's for my own to live my own way
[Verse 2]
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell me 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
[Chorus]
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's for my own to live my own way
[Bridge]
See them try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Life's for my own to live my own way
Life's for my own to live my own way
Life's for my own to live my own way
Life's for my own to live my own way
Life's for my own to live my own way
Life's for my own to live my own way
Life's for my own to live my own way
Life's for my own to live my own way

What did Metallica say about "Escape"?
It’s become this folklore that I hate “Escape.” It’s not true! It was the last song that was written for the Ride the Lightning sessions, and it was purposely kept a little shorter than the other songs. We thought of it in the spirit of Iron Maiden’s “Run to the Hill” or Judas Priest’s “Living After...
