#ESCAPE FROM LA LYRICS MOVIE#

I have wealth, cars, and a luxurious lifestyle If you experienced what I have, you wouldn't sleep either My struggle to keep my soul pure is taking a toll on me

#ESCAPE FROM LA LYRICS MOVIE#

I'm struggling to keep my soul pure and uncorrupted like Constantine from the movie I have a diamond cross hanging around my neck I drive as fast as Keanu Reeves in his movies The seats are black and have venom-like color I'm driving my Porsche Spyder down the road This city is different from what it appears to be on the surfaceĬontinuing to stay here will be my demise I tend to become reckless when I consume alcoholīut for sex with you, I am completely under your control These women will always look for a way to get in between a couple The world can be a cruel and malevolent place I won't run after other women like these other guys Whenever you feel ready, you know where to find me Whenever you say that you require some time alone, I respect your need for space We'll sort out the issues between us and find a solution You have etched me permanently in your thoughts You sought my attention to affirm my love for you

You don't give in to their advances easily These guys try to woo you with materialistic things You confide in me about the men who attempt to sabotage our relationship You pillow talk to me about the men who try to get in between us The song also includes a bridge describing how the artist had sex with a girl in the studio, accompanied by the lyrics “We had sex in the studio, nobody walked in, I cut my verse, and then she popped it, for me, for me.” Here, the woman is someone who is confident and cold-hearted, with no technical criticism, and the artist takes all he can get from her. After listing all the things that he has accomplished in his life, like cars, money, and living among the stars, he realizes that he still feels like nothing without the woman he loves, who seemingly does not care about any of it. The artist vents his frustrations and his desire to leave this town as it could spell the end of him. The chorus' main theme in this song is about the evils of Los Angeles, a place where nothing is as it seems to be and where plenty of people are ready to play games with others. The artist reveals his unhealthy relationship with alcohol and women, as deep down, he is a slave to the woman he loves. However, he feels that he gives her space when she asks for it and does not chase after other women. Despite this, she seeks attention and affection from him, demonstrating that she wants him all the time, even tattooing his name on her mind. The singer feels that there are third-party interests trying to meddle in their relationship, and he believes that they misunderstand her, seeing her kindness as a weakness. She gon' ride 'til sweat fall down her spineĮscape From LA, by The Weeknd, is a song about the end of a love story, and its protagonist's frustration and disappointment regarding the relationship. She got Chrome Hearts hangin' from her neck She closed the door and then she locked it This place will be the end of me (oh, whoa-oh) This place (this place) is never what it seems Gave you everything you wanted (you wanted) Gave you power, gave you life, gave you space so you can shine

Got the money, got the cars, got the ceiling with the stars If you see what I seen, you wouldn't sleep I'm in the Spyder Porsche cruisin' down the streetĪnd it's slowly burning, it was never cheap

'Cause when I'm on the liquor, I go crazyĪnd for that pussy, you know I'm a slave, yeah When it comes to all these hoes, I'll never chaseīut this world is such a, such an evil place Girl, when you're ready, you know where I stay When you say that you need space, I give you space (you space) However, the singer does not necessarily attribute this unfavorable reality to himself nor his lover. Rather it is the environment they are in, one in which even though they are in a committed relationship, outsiders still have no qualms about potentially destroying their romance. So again, this track can accurately be described as a love song. But it also serves as somewhat of an indirect critique of the state of the world at large.We'll figure out our shit and find a way (oh way) is symbolic of the aforementioned evil world. Or stated differently, due to what is detailed above, it is obvious that the relationship featured herein is a troubled one.

So basically, within the context of this song L.A. And as The Weeknd relays it, even though his heart is in the right place sometimes he does lose the battle and gives in to such. Moreover before the track concludes he also forthrightly implies that his lady is likewise seeing another dude. However, they both deal with a considerable amount of temptation, as in being hit on by the opposite sex.
