about

From his forthcoming album "Trouvaille", MMYYKK presents: ESCAPE

A sonic exploration of the descent from love. Realizing he has fallen in love with an illusion, MMYYKK finds himself navigating the depths of his emotions. Escape brings the listener through the final stages of the death of this relationship; denial, anger, sadness, loneliness, acceptance and finally reconciliation with self.

“I wanted the song to be a little sad, and yet beautiful. Truly as melancholy as the experience of falling out of love.” says MMYYKK.

“Everything is change. its important to accept that change is inevitable and endings are inevitable. I choose to find the beauty in endings, because they create space for new beginnings.”

lyrics

[Verse 1]

Lost in the waves I'm falling apart
No wind in my sails they're tattered and scarred
All on my own with what's left of my heart
Longing for freedom, freedom to love again

This is dissonance, this is the gap and I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' In
This is the last time
This is the first I've noticed
These walls are closing in
so I'm longing for freedom, freedom to love again

[Chorus]

I'm searching for an Escape
Searching for an escape x3

I'm searching for an Escape
Searching for an escape x3

I'm searching for an Escape
Searching for an escape x3

and I'm longing for freedom, freedom to love again

[Verse 2]

I can't see you anymore and I don't know what to do
I don't feel you anymore and I don't know what to do about it
the flames extinguished
and I can't distinguish
your energy from friend or enemy so
I'm longing for freedom, freedom to love again

[Chorus]

[Reprise]

It's just not the same now
everything has changed
nothing stays the same forever
but I thought we could change together
this feels make believe I just can't believe this is real

Everything is change
