Great Escape Lyrics

I think this could be of a nearly ended relationship.

She's trying to keep him with her, but despite her efforts, he still performs the great escape. Great escape, because there's so many things she uses to keep him.

I agree, maybe not with the idea that is a nearly ended relationship. But I think it's about the reality of most relationships where one side knows the other is trying to escape. The side that doesn't want to escape tries to tie the relationship with a drowning abundance of feelings and compromises. Limits the actions by keeping a close eye yet knows that it's a matter of time before the other party leaves. Not ending but toxic because it can last with this scheme for a long time.
