Flee From Reality Lyrics

I've got no time for decisions
All I can do is complain
They threaten with institutions
I think they're all insane

Ruthlessly holding on
The person they want you to be
I took the easy way out
Flee from reality

I'm in a state of confusion
I don't know how to get back
Don't give a damn about the future
I can't remember the past

What the hell is going on?
Self-induced insanity
I took the easy way out
Flee from reality

Flee from reality
Flee from reality
Flee from reality
Flee from reality

How will I get there?
To where I find my destiny
I need an easy existence
Flee from reality

I hear the call of temptation
My willpower is young
Delivering my resignation
Responsible citizen

Ruthlessly holding on
The person you were meant to be
Confronted by reason within
Flee from reality

Flee from reality

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is seemingly about a person that's overwhelmed by the pressures and expectations of society, and who feels trapped by the important decisions that they are forced to make by the institutions in their life, social norms and/or authority figures. The protagonist decides to take the easy way out in escaping from reality, wanting to avoid facing the challenges and responsibilities of the real world; A decision that leaves him feeling unstable and causes him to lose himself. Ultimately, the song portrays a struggle most people have in life, that being a struggle to find a sense of identity and purpose in a world that feels overwhelming and suffocating. Trying to make sense of a world ever-changing and full of chaos. One which has high expectations for you, and expects you to give them an answer without even enough time to process the major question that will have a massive impact on your life.
