It draws conceptual inspiration from a strange and challenging Atari 2600 game released by Imagic in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>The song is also the subject of my second video from the record.  It is an animated movie in set in the world of classic video games &#8230; an 8 bit romance in less than 3 minutes.  It will contain elements of action and suspense with gripping, high tension computer generated imagery unlike the world has seen since 1987 (see picture above).<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah &#8230; the lyrics are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nNo Escape!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s something strange we&#8217;re traveling in<br \/>\nThis world so dislocated<br \/>\nTrapped in our cages shutting us in<br \/>\nIt appears there&#8217;s no escaping<\/p>\n<p>If so we&#8217;ll do it alone<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s run, let&#8217;s break, let&#8217;s struggle to win<br \/>\nAgainst the long shot complications<br \/>\nThe social reflex tying us in<br \/>\nIt was never in the calculation<br \/>\nWay back when the world went crazy<br \/>\nYou lived with your dreams and held them in<br \/>\nAnd now when there&#8217;s no escape from this<br \/>\nJust take my hand listen<\/p>\n<p>If so we&#8217;ll do it alone<br \/>\nIf that&#8217;s the way in<\/p>\n<p>I have looked it over this time<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no surprise<br \/>\nThis lock&#8217;s untried <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re settling into silence again<br \/>\nAs the words can&#8217;t catch the meaning<br \/>\nThis quiet holds an unknown strength for me<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s tying up once divided<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s getting hard to discover what&#8217;s needed<br \/>\nIf look in the middle find it<\/p>\n<p>If so we&#8217;ll do it alone<br \/>\nIf that&#8217;s the way in<\/p>\n<p>I have looked it over this time<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no surprise<br \/>\nThis lock&#8217;s untried\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;No Escape!&#8221; is a song off of my first solo record called &#8220;Bits&#8221;.
