The Great Escape Lyrics

Cover art for The Great Escape lyrics by Patrick Watson

The Great Escape is suicide. But the gentle piano almost eases you in and out. The song actually calms the soul down.

"you don't need to win anyways"

that is very true, you don't need to win. However winning is not in reference to living, it is in reference to not winning in life. This song may have a depressing undertone, but it conveys comfort.
