The great escape van Pink

Vorige maand is de nieuwe CD van Pink verschenen met de naam “The truth about love”. Twee nummers op de CD spraken mij qua tekst heel erg aan. Één van deze nummers is al verschenen op proud2Bme, dat is het nummer ‘Try‘. Het andere nummer wat ik erg mooi vind is ‘The great escape’.

Geniet en luister vooral naar de tekst…

I can understand how when the edges are rough

And they cut you like the tiniest slithers of glass

And you feel too much

And you don’t know how long you’re gonna last

But everyone you know
is tryin’ smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away

But everyone you know
is tryin’ smooth it over
Like you’re trying to scream underwater

But I won’t let you make the great escape
I’m never gonna watch you checkin’ out of this place
I’m not gonna lose you

Cause the passion and the pain

Are gonna keep you alive someday

Gonna keep you alive someday

I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face

And you wouldn’t flinch or even feel a thing

And you’ve retreated to your silent corner

Like you decided the fight was over for ya

Everyone you know
is tryin’ smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
Everyone you know,
is tryin’ smooth it over
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through

I won’t let you make the great escape,

I’m never gonna watch you checkin outta this place

I’m not gonna lose you

Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep you alive someday

They’re gonna keep you alive someday

I’m terrified of the dark
But not if you go with me

And I don’t need a pill to make me numb

And I wrote the book on runnin’
But that chapter of my life will soon be done

I’m the king of the great escape

You’re not gonna watch me checkin’ outta this place

You’re not gonna lose me

Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep us alive, someday

Yeah the passion and the pain

Are gonna keep us alive someday

.. someday
