“Escape” is the opening track on the band’s 2010 Zombie EP. The entire song is about running away from zombies, nothing else. If you have to stop and think about anything, it’ll be too late.
In a track by track interview with Alternative Press, vocalist Mike Hranica explained:
‘Escape’ was the fir...
[Mike Hranica]
There’s no time
If your decisions include regret, then it’s already too late
There’s no time
Oh my God, they’re everywhere
Lord
As clumsy as these beasts may be
Their mass numbers make up for slow speeds
Now is when you exert all of your energy
Don’t bother screaming, don’t bother crying
Ignore all hope of mercy
Don’t bother screaming, don’t bother crying
Ignore all hope of mercy
There’s no time
If your decisions include regret, then it’s already too late
There’s no time for even the slightest bit of remorse
[Jeremy DePoyster]
Try to contain every ounce of sorrow
Our hearts have no room for this
[Mike Hranica]
I am made of anger, I am made of anger
There’s a proportion to be met between escape and defense
Now is when you exert all of your energy
Don’t bother screaming, don’t bother crying
Ignore all hope of mercy
Don’t bother screaming, don’t bother crying
Ignore all hope of mercy
There’s no time
If your decisions include regret, then it’s already too late
