Versions
Various Methods Of Escape
This is the only known version. It begins with its bassline and some atmosphere layering, soon joined by a beat which also refines the bassline into muted chunks. Distant and manipulated vocals sing the verses below these, while prominent guitar and louder vocals with many high notes create the choruses. They also feature backing vocal harmony layering reminiscent of "Every Day is Exactly the Same." Its second chorus suddenly gives way to a quiet bridge of bass and piano with muted percussion layers, building with distant and whispering vocals. These usher in a return to the chorus but with 'swarm' guitar layers and a more realistic-sounding, tom-led drum beat. After two repetitions of the chorus, the instrumentation ends, allowing the vocal echoes to fade away alone.
Lyrics
Hallucinate in high fidelity Little pieces of a plan Construction of the highest quality Built from my own hand A line of lyric looping in my head Nobody listening I guess it really doesn't matter anymore I guess it doesn't mean a thing I've got to let it go I've got to get straight Why'd you have to make it so hard? Let me get away An effigy so wondrous to behold A statement so profound A place to bury every thing I did And burn it to the ground The fire illuminates our final scene The past repeats itself I can not tell the difference anymore I can not trust myself I've got to let it go I've got to get straight Why'd you have to make it so hard? Let me get away
In the final version, the line in the first verse:
Built from my own hand
was changed to:
The blood from my own hand
