- Since the original version of be my escape is very famous maybe the acoustic version is too.I bring you one of the best songs from Relient K.It is the third song from their album Apathetic EP.Hope you enjoy this version.Its slower and might have more feeling idk.Anyway thanks for watching.
I'm far from religious. I'd go as far as to call myself an atheist.
That said, this song speaks to me on a level I don't quite grasp. It makes me cry in joy.
That's because it's a beautiful song. I just want to say, you're not automatically religious if you believe in Jesus or God. Religion is about laws and rules and you have to be "good" enough to get to heaven, while believing in Jesus is completely different. Have a good day
themagicman2010 When it comes to Christianity, Christians like myself believe that only God is good (Jesus even says so- Mark 10:18), but that doesn't mean we're not forgiven for not being perfect. The most important thing about Christianity is loving God. That's what God commands, not being good enough because it's impossible to be good enough. So yes, Christianity does have rules, but the thing is it's about loving God so much since He's our Father and He knows what's best for us that we want to do what He says. Just like human fathers and the rules they set.
gymnastgirlflips Yeah exactly what I meant, I guess I suck at wording things. You can never work your way to heaven and be "good" enough because that's impossible. Jesus is the only connection you can have to God and heaven.
themagicman2010 Oh ok. Yeah I was a little confused by what you meant, but I'm glad we're on the same page :)
gymnastgirlflips Yeah haha sorry about that. Yeah(:
This song is my favorite song. This was my brothers favorite song and he died so this will be my favorite song forever
Chri Canfield r.i.p god bless you buddy
Chri Canfield sorry for your loss

This song brings back so many memories
This is my favorite acoustic of all time. Oh my gosh.
Same it's amazing
Who I am hates who I’ve been is my Favorite! But this one is amazing too!
this song is my escape from the world
mine too 😊
Me, too.
This song is about the Saviour of man. The Christ. The Christ is my escape. Peace and grace be with you. Amen.
Hopefully still is once in a while!(:
@ eh I like my life atm but I still listen to this song just because it’s soo good
I listened to this once i was released from jail, this song has so much meaning and it's too each individual person
You're absolutely right. I'll be praying for you, Gavin.
I found this song at the height of my awkward emo/fangirl phase, and it spoke to me with my anxieties of never being more than I am (which I tried to compensate for with fictional characters at the time). Now listening back to it, a day and a half before the most important audition of my life, it still screams the same message. But I can take a lot more comfort in knowing that I'm doing everything I can to 'get out of here', and that my complacency is something I can shake. With a little help from God, even though I'm not the most devout Christian, I have a lot more hope than I did when I was 14 that I will turn out to be something great. I'm gonna save my own skin, one step at a time.
Hey old me...! Unfortunately, that audition didn't go well. You still got into a good college, got a Bachelor's Degree and everything, but there isn't much to show for it yet. We are right back in the rut, possibly farther in than ever. The complacency got real bad after the world started falling apart, there's not much hope of shaking it right now. You've got some better friends and a healthier relationship with your family, all of that's alright, not to worry, but the fear this song speaks to has come true and we don't have dreaming of college anymore to get through it. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, old me...
@@tatltails3923 hope all is well for you now, and that you found your escape 💜
Sadly it's not really a phase but be of good courage there's an answer, Jesus, i promise it's true, even though you don't know me just TRUST ME on this ONE thing kk
it took me so long to find this song again. it was in the back of my head. I had to go to my pandora account and sift through like 2000 liked song to find it.
I've given up on giving up slowly,
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
Because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing
Where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.
I'm giving up on doing this alone now
'Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing
Where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
'Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging You to be my escape.
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for you to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave
'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing
Where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.
I fought you for so long
I should have let you in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were you
So were you
This song just shows that everyone has their own interpretation of each and every song. I don't care if this song is religious or not, it has a different meaning to me. It's songs like these that show you who you are and what you've been through just by the way you listen to it.
Music is an art. It's going to tell you whatever story you need to tell. everyone is going to have a different opinion about it and thats meant ot be the beautiful thing about it.
This song is stuck in my head I cant stop singing it
But thats good cause I love this song!!!
Wow... I always thought this song was about love? I guess i was pretty wrong.. I'll still always see it that way
The beauty of music is that you can interpret any way you wish to.
@@InnocentSweetie123 If you see multiple levels of truth, that is beautiful. If you see and cling to lies in it, that is ugly.
in 2012 I gave my life to Jesus. I was in a place of hopelessness. Drugs, addiction, just out of a bad relationship. God really came to me and turned my world upside down. There's a verse in the Bible where Jesus says "whoever finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. After I decided to follow God I battled a year and half depression. I completely lost myself. But that's where I found myself. True Hope. True Peace. True Joy. True Love. So much overflowing. I had no grips on my own life anymore but was trusting god for every detail. Prayer was like breathing. I had to lose it all to see it all. But now it's been 6 years and this song speaks to exactly what I'm going through. Trying to find God again. Stuck in myself. "but I can't ask Him to give, what He already gave". I'm begging Him to rescue me and be my escape again. I tried to find life again. I turned back to my selfish patterns and ways that please me and me only. I started living for things that are temporary and desiring things that make my ego feel better. But God looks for those who have "lowly spirits". God rescues those who recognize their need for Him. He looks for people who have willing hearts. Jesus said the "childlike" will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. I know for the rest of my life where my hope belongs. But it's so much harder now than it was then... Romans 12:2 Meant the world to me back then. It still means a lot. I don't have passion for God anymore. It's not sincere. God want's people who love and have mercy on others. People who are going to trust in Him and seek Him. Depend on Him. Please pray... There is no one more blessed than the man who prays for the first time in his life in the name of Jesus. Faith really does move mountains. Just rambling now. But I hope someone could learn from my mistake. If you have God's presence, love, favor, and Spirit with you... Cling! Desperately. Trust Him. Be faithful to Him. We won't be perfect but neither was King David. But his heart was set on seeking God with his entire heart. And He was blessed greatly for it. His son Solomon however, took God for granted. He wasn't faithful, and because of it him and all his people suffered the consequences. I wanna love Him again.
I''ll be praying for you Keith! Keep on seeking God! He hasn't given up on you!
This is contemporary praise music at its finest.
relient k has jus been suiting me for the last month it's jus weird bc I was so in love with them n junior high n the love has only grown ! keep rockin it! :$
Love the first 20 seconds.
always a sucker for the acoustical one's
holy fuck I listened to this song when I was like twelve, and my fucking god the nostalgia is real.
Do you see the good news in it? :)
@@JohnCephas ur mom
@@deadmemesandbrokendreams No
@@JohnCephas i do now:) love finding out all the old music that i was listening to was actually Christian without knowing it. it’s a joy to come back to now born again. praise Jesus ❤️🙏🏻 flyleaf-all around me is another !
@@slyfox1483 Alleluia, amen! I used to listen to Flyleaf too as an unbeliever. Amazing!
Love these guys. Came here from Alex Melton's country cover of Be My Escape, which doesn't sound too different from this. Seen them 6 times in my life so far, hope I get to see them again, they'll always be one of my favorites.
3:15 is just so beautiful
I'm in love and this reminds me of him ,_,
Heard this version when I was struggling so hard. It appeared to remind me the reason I keep going on
This song hits so my different now that I am saved in Jesus Christ
That high pitch ringing means that this was ripped from on of the early runs of the apathetic ep that had an engineering fault from one of the acoustic guitars. In later runs they fixed this. I bought a copy of the ep off ebay a couple of weeks ago and, joy, it turned out to be one with the ringing on most of the tracks. Oh well, I guess it can be a collector's if I want to see it that way. If you don't want to listen to the ringing, you can buy it on itunes, it'll have the fixed versions ;)
Alternately you could probably mix it out yourself by inserting a low pass filter set to cut out only the offending frequency. Since it's so much higher than the rest of the song you shouldn't lose anything important.
Last day of school. This fits how I'm feeling right now perfectly.
love this song....
I like the ending of this song
me too
Absolutely adore the styling on this classic! Relient K
I'm so In love with this song
Love the acoustic version
Aw I love this song so much
2019 anyone?
2021
At 2 Min 15 it's just an orgasm for ears ! God Bless Acoustic versions ;)
Love this version!
Came on pandora omg I love ittttt
Oh my gosh this is so good..
Yeah. It sounds really good. I almost can't decide if I like this or the plugged in version better. Both sound awesome and really put me in a good mood.
I absolutely love this song. But does anyone else hear... like, a high pitched distortion in the music? This came on my Pandora channel, and I started getting a headache. Took me a while to hear it but its there.
I would've honestly never noticed that had you not pointed it out.
Thats the bass line bro.
I was just about to comment the same thing! I hear it on Pandora and multiple videos on here. It's a shame because it really makes it hurt to listen to for me as well.
I thought my ears were ringing or something! I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears it
OH GOD I HEAR IT TOO >.
I like this version better than the original
Caroline Hronik me too i find the original to fast for me lol
He's asking for forgiveness for what he's done and that he's tired of dealing with the stress so he's asking God for forgiveness is the way that I take it
God is my escape from this world
So is death.
jimmiequick Death isn't an escape. It's an end.
It's the end of one thing and the beginning of another.
jimmiequick Yep, the beginning of rotting in a casket.
daniel teichmiller but you wouldnt have to deal with the worlds bullshit
This song strikes a different tone during #quarantine2020 than it did in 2010.
Me and my dad would sing this song all the time but now the only voice I hear sing is mine so no matter how bad of a person his now this song will always remind me of when he was a good man and took care of his kids
Agreed best acoustic song ever recorded
The feels x'c this is so perfect I love this version better maybe because it's so soft and just ah perfection :')
I'm so in love to this song
best acoustic song ever recorded
so much love for this song!!
Play this at 0.75% speed, it’s nice too and chill
I've always heard it and FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE DOES TOO.
such an excellent track
Here's my interpretation of the song:
First of all, I'm a Catholic. Second of all, I am like one of THE worst Catholics. Until recently, my attendance to church was poor. I don't have prayers memorized. Etc. Third of all, I'm not speaking for Christians or Christianity or anything. This is just an opinion.
Anyways, I think the song ISN'T about religion or God. At least not in general.
It's about a man who believes in God but he's lost his faith, almost entirely. He's about to commit suicide in an attempt to challenge God, or rather, challenge the existance of God.
The man is trapped inside a house of "doubt and insecurity," and only God has the key to set him free. Literally speaking, he's doubting the existence of God, and in reality, only God can prove whether or not He does. Science can't prove He doesn't exist, and religion can't prove He does. This is why I think faith is such a crazy subject!
The song is riddled with "religious-y" lyrics. The band is a Christian bands after all.
"the beauty of grace" - Grace, a word heavily associated with Christianity. Seriously, I googled "Grace" and it's the first thing that pops up
"i know to live you must give your life away" - according to the bible, Jesus 'gave his life away' in the cross in order to save from our sins so we can live. Shout out to Big Homie J
"And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave" - he feels guilty for asking God for help when God's already given him so much (kinda hard to bargain with someone who's gave you a life)
"And all I was trying to do was save my own skin, but so were You" - this is the line that got me. I myself didn't think this was a religious song, but then I looked up the lyrics online and saw that "You" was capitalized. And I was like "...wait, this songs religious?"
Anyways, the man is about to pull the trigger in order to "save his own skin" (save himself) from whatever was troubling him (depression, financial problems, girlfriend turned into a ho).
"but so were You" - in the bible, we are all God's sons and daughters, and God was trying to save his own skin too, in this case, saving his son, the man.
When the man realizes this, he doesn't commit suicide. He retains his faith, and God was his escape from the house of doubt and insecurity.
The song ends on a positive note. He sings "so were You" in a heavenly angelic falsetto. Faith retained.
Don't let my interpretation change your interpretation. Believe what you want to believe.
Tbh I just commented because I was planning to perform this song at my church and I looked up this video up and saw the comments and I was like "ah crap what if the priest doesn't think this is a religious song" lol
I have seen god work first hand and personlly I think his song is like a pray to god and it's not just for him it's god talking to all of us and I will be praying for you
+Wee Jay Babiano Yo man, thanks for he shoutout. ill put a good word in for you with saint peter. Good luck and most important of all have faith.
+Wee Jay Sounds more about a relationship but to each his own
+Terrors Man the year this song (original) Matt Thiessen did lose Katy Perry before they got married
I ain't religious in any way but this song got me and your interpretation as well. I'm still not into these religious stuff bc I have my own beliefs but this song and your interpretation would help a lot of people who are in need including me :). Thank you brother!
REALLY fun to play on the mandolin!
Such a great song
Is it bad if I like the acoustic version better?
Does anyone else hear that high-pitched ringing throughout the whole song?
yep, noticed it the very first time I heard it and it has just bugged me ever since then.
+leighton couture Yeah it is probably the quality of the recording or audio or something along those lines :P
I can
+Corbin Armbruster (Corbo) :p
+leighton couture Goddammit now I can hear it.
this song is relatablebcs of quarantine
love this version
I personally like the acoustic version better :p
The best song ever
I Love This Song!!!
Aww I miss this song.
ooohhh me encanta esta cancion...!! linda letra
this is my favorite song
this version is the best
I love this song!
cool stuff
I wonder how many atheists like me listen to this song
Mr_ Maus13 Ayy *high five*
Lol just because you're atheist doesn't mean you can't listen to christian music songs.
Justin Reyes Oh I know! ^c^ in fact, I'm kind of fond of it because it's religious. I'm not downplaying religion. I think it's done good things for people. It's just not my cup of tea.
I think there are a lot of people like me who grew up as christians until their teenage or adult years. After all music is about moments in our lives and when a song is good many of us can identify with it in different aspects.
🙋♀️
Sounds pretty good :))
I need the guitar tab for this. I would like to play this for talent show.
omg how is this song 12 years oldddd
I love your vids man! Keep it up plz
I love this version of the song, but I have a hard time listening to it with headphones because of the high pitched screeching? Does anyone else hear it? I don't think it's my ears ringing, but it's a similar frequency- you can really hear it at :07 and it gets really loud at 2:36 then just abruptly drops in volume about a second after. I don't know what it is, but it can give me a headache and it'll cause my ears to ring qwq sucks because I like this song
I’m begging You to be my escape...
Funny how this is a Christian band yet you get a lot of atheist/non-religious people who appreciate this. I guess it's alright to like something that doesn't pertain to you're beliefs. Hell, Matt Thiessen cites NoFX as a huge influence on the band, and we all know how they feel about religion.
so nice:)
genius
I don't think this song is about god at all. It seems to be a song about a person who has made many mistakes and wants to fix then but can't.
Grayson Rucker everyone knows the singer is a proud Christian... but I always saw this song as asking for help to get out of his moms house and start his life lol
Even if it is, I wasn't even thinking about that...the song just sounds good vocally and lyrically
Grayson Rucker and interpretation is what makes music amazing ;)
@@graysonrucker1621 yet both statements are observably true nd thaz a beautiful thing
Gah. ♥
Eviebot said that she likes this song.
nice but that high frequency was very distracting
Claudio Cipriani wow I never realized before I will never be able to ignore it now thanks a lot 😂
Hunter654. lol Im sorry man I really like this song... man Im such a sinner
song is awesome! but... does anyone else hear a loud, high pitched frequency throughout the song?

Pretend this song is talking about the Coronavirus-
God that whine is terrible how on earth did they miss that in the mixing process??
#depressingsong
Pedro Gomez this is not a depressing song its a man asking god to help him get out of the mess he made
fuck u and fuck ur God
Oh and do us all a favor and get ur christian bullshit out of here
It's a Christian band. This song is a Christian song. You can't run away from it...
An amateur mistake disliker, the one that goes down means bad, not fantabulous.
I find the acoustic better
gotta get outta here
