What does escape mean to
you? For some people, "escape"
means something they can do to get away from everything else. For others,
"escape" could
literally mean getting away from somewhere. Therefore, depending on the
context, "escape"
could mean a lot of things.
To me, "escape" means something
that will completely take me away from everything else. My main "escape" happens to be
music. As I've discussed before, music does a lot for me. It takes me places
that nothing else can, and also lifts me when nothing else can. Through
music, I’m able to express almost exactly how I feel. It’s almost as if the
artist or composer of the song has written something specifically for me. It’s
amazing!
Music then becomes my
escape because not only does it express exactly how I feel, but I’m able to get
lost in what the song is trying to convey to its listeners. Whether it’s the
lyrics, or the melody, or the overall emotion of the song, something always
captures my attention in such a great way that I’m forced to stay and listen to
the song.
Music becomes my escape
because I am able to get so lost in what I’m listening to, that I forget about
anything I was worried about prior to listening to a specific song. For
instance, I could have had a horrible week, been stressed out because I was
going to have not only a Chemistry test, but also an Algebra II test, not
gotten much sleep, or even fallen behind on schoolwork, yet once I get into my
car and that one upbeat song blasts through my speakers, I'm in a completely
different world than I was before. It's almost as if, for a few moments,
everything else drifts away and all I'm left with is the hype of the song and
the catchy lyrics.
Music allows me to
escape. And that is exactly, and
solely what I think of when I think of "escape". I think of music,
and only music.
What do you think of
when you think of "escape"?
