This song is my third favorite Metallica song, just beneath Trapped Under Ice, and Fade To Black. And yeah, it does appear to be the bands most disliked song. Search Escape Metallica Live into Google Videos and YouTube... Nothing =(

This is a reflection of the typical teenage spirit of questioning society's rules and wanting to be different. Because teens find rules stupid and pointless because they here them over and over and dont bother listening to it. They refuse to listen and tire to isolate themselves from adults or "escape". "I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side And I can see through you Feed my brain with your so called standards Who says that I ain't right" This is evidence of a teenagers refusal to accept they could be wrong about their believes, no matter what adults say.

"by I_LIKE_BEANS on 05-29-2002 @ 08:04:17 PM The song "Escape" is about an escaped prisoner on the run which can also be interpretated as an escape from everything which is preventing you from doing what you want to or even from beeing as you want to be. You all should stop making guesses and refer to our beloved metallica themselves and see the real meaning of the song" reffer to metallica my ass, thats word for word what wiki says! anywho... good song, doesnt really stand up to a lot of other good ones on this album, and others.

The reason might draw from this song being so deep and personal....but I could be wrong. Great song none-the-less!

It's a pop song. A def leppard-type song. I think it's great, but I understand why they don't play it live

I heard Metallica doesnt play this song because 'It was the only song we wrote for a specific purpose' I have no idea what that means, or what the purpose is I read it in an interview
