Alice Tanner - Escape | A Mental Health Awareness Song About Men Who Suffer in Silence

Описание: “Escape” is a powerful mental health awareness song that tells the story of a man at different stages of life; youth, marriage, fatherhood, middle age, and isolation. Struggling silently with depression, emotional confinement, and the pressure to endure without support.

This song focuses on male mental health, emotional suppression, and the devastating reality of male suicide, which remains one of the leading causes of death among men worldwide. Through its narrative, Escape asks a vital question:

Should he flee… or should he fight?

Many men are taught to hide pain, stay strong, and carry the weight alone. This song exists to challenge that silence and remind listeners that asking for help is not weakness it is survival.

⚠️ Important Message:
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. You are not alone, and this feeling can change. Please consider reaching out to a trusted person or a mental health professional. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a suicide prevention hotline in your country.

This track is intended to raise awareness, encourage conversation, and promote prevention, not to glorify or romanticise suicide.

Lyrics

He was such a lonely man
Twenty years of age
Still full of teenage rage
Living in a dead end town
And it drags him down
Time to make his escape

[Chorus]
Should he flee or should he fight
And like a bullet in the night
He's gone

Now a married man
Thirty years have passed
Two kids, no plan
Stuck in his cage
Trapped in marital bliss
And it's all he has, just this?

Should he flee or should he fight
And like a bullet in the night
He's gone
(Gone, gone, gone)

A sad, disheartened man
Hit the big 4-0
Stuck in this dead end job
Trying not to sob
And it drags him down
Time to make his escape

Should he flee or should he fight
And like a bullet in the night
He's gone

And now the kids are grown
Two score and ten
All alone and on his own, yet again
Just these four walls, so grim
And this taut rope for him
It's time....

Gone....
Gone....
Gone....
