I've given up on giving up slowly
I'm blending in so You won't even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
Because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go,
Promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You,
I'm begging You,
I'm begging You to be my escape.
I've given up on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/relient_k/be_my_escape.html ]
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go,
Promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
(Yeah)
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You,
I'm begging You,
I'm begging You to be my escape.
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live
In this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for
You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give
What You already gave
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go,
Promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You,
I'm begging You,
I'm begging You to be my escape.
I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
(Oh...)
But so were You
So were You

I'm positive about how this song means everyone is virtually stuck in a bottle, the bottle being sin, and how god is keeping us in the bottle of sin to teach us a lesson, and how we can keep ourselves from staying in the bottle by death, and that might be the only way, because jesus christ has already gone and died on the cross for us, but we continue to sin. I was in a car for a road trip and i figured out the meaning by listening to this song on a constant loop. :p
The meaning of "be my escape" is to show everyone, and 'god', that life has no end until mass extinction... To me this song means life is pointless, so we can use the last bullet to escape sufferring... 7-7
It's about getting stuck and entraped in sin, and the only way out is the key, which is jesus. The whole song is riddled with symbolism about sin and how to get out of it. It's a really beautiful song.
This song is good, i was in acaida a hosptal because of cutting and i over came that but whe it says
Ive given up on giving up slowly, im blending in so
you wont even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
this one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because i know to live you must give your life away
and ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
ive been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
and ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
and even though, theres no way in knowing where to go, promise im going because
That was life i was locked it this place had no were to go couldnt go home with my crazy parents more like would not and i did need that treatment...
It means that the "sinner" has found an escape, and it's jesus who died on the cross to save us from eternal damnation, the key is to accept jesus, our only way to salvation. He lives, he's watching over you and he's waiting for you to let him in your heart. Even though you don't believe in him, it doesn't mean that he doesn't believe in you!.. He loves us all =)
I think its about a person who has sinned alot and feels trapped by it and is asking god to be his escape. And when he says that he is forced to live in the mess he made, he is saying that he feels that he has to live with all of his sins. Also, when the song says "i've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and ive been locked inside that house, all while you hold the key"
i think he means that he has been bottling up all of the hurt, sin, and sadness and he has done it so much that he feels locked inside of it whild god holds the key to get him out of it.
Hes a sinner, everyones a sinner, and hes saying that hes been alone and consumed in his wrongdoings and loneliness. He feels trapped within himself, and is pleading for help to escape the pain, which the lord ends up answering. For all of you who think he was contemplating suicide, you might be right, if his situation was drastic enough. Mostly, it means that he is trying to untangle himself from the mess he's created inside himself.
