'Escapism'
Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him
All of my diamonds are drippin' on him
I met him at the bar, it was twelve or somethin'
I ordered two more wines, 'cause tonight I want him
A little context if you care to listen
I find myself in this shit position
The man that I love sat me down last night
And he told me that it's over, dumb decision
And I don't wanna feel how my heart is rippin'
Fact, I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sippin'
And I'm out on the town with a simple mission
In my little black dress and this shit is sittin'
Just a heart broke bitch
High heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne
I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was looking for a man who's on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel
Took this joint how I'm blowing this steam
Back to my ways like 2019
Not 24 hours since my ex did dead it
I got a new man on me, it's about to get sweaty
Last night really was the cherry on the cake
Been some dark days lately and I'm findin' it cripplin'
Excuse my state
I'm as high as your hopes that you'll make it on my bed
Get me hot and sizzlin'
If I take a step back to see the glass half full
At least it's the Prada two-piece that I'm trippin' in
And I'm already actin' like a dick
Know what I mean?
So you might as well stick it in
Just a heart broke bitch
High heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne
I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was looking for a man who's on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel (What?)
'Cause I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
Be at peace with the things you can't change (Last night)
I'll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah
Out of reach, out of touch, too numb, I don't feel no way
Toast up, so what, street small but it go both ways
So, you'll run, but you'll never escape
Sunset in the maze
(You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel)
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night, oh
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
You're asking me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't, I don't- how I did last night
Mhmm lipstick smudged like modern art
I don't know where the fuck I am
Or who's driving the fucking car
Speeding down the highway sippin'
Mixing pills with the liquor
'Cause fuck these feelings
I left everyone I love on read (Uh-uh)
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (Uh-uh)
I remember nothing so there's nothing to regret (Uh-uh)
#RAYE #Escapism #My21stCenturyBlues
Her effortless transition from rap to melody, then belting and classical technique. Damn she is the real deal. What an incredible talent.
!!!!!!
For real, this is incredible. Amy wine house vibes. Fucking love it.
Doja cat is the same as an example
Finally a factual statement. I can't stand these comparisons to Winehouse anymore. Two completely different individualists.
@@s.cosovic5400 voice ain’t that similar either not even the accent
the amy winehouse vibes are astronomical
Only the looks though
@@nicolemardones-andersen1272 her voice too
I thought i was the only one yes she gives her energy and vibe nothing to do with looks
I stand with this statement 🤍
exactly what I thought upon listening for the first time ! she's incredible
THE RAP, THE SINGING , THE LITTLE OPERA , LIKE THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL , ITS MF POERTY
Yesssssss
Exactly
Yes I need more music like this
YES DUDE 😀😀😀😀
yeah it is not bad.
This song is a social commentary on how we all as humans do a really bad job of confronting emotional pain.
Beautifully said. Unless we have learned to process our emotions, we all lean into #escapism.
Deep!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nah it's also, this is mainly, about guilt.
This songs on repeat
It's a masterpiece raye is a goddess and she's not respected on the levels she deserves 😤
You should please listen to hard out here! It's the Best 🥰
same
This! She is so amazing and underrated!
Amen ITS FUCKINNG AMAZINGGGGGGGG I FEEL IT IN MY SOUL!
this song is gonna go crazy viral
You're here! And yes it did go viral!! 😱
✅
You were right 🥵
❤
It’s all over TikTok
the emotion i can feel through her vocals and the music is so spot on to the feeling she’s portraying through her lyrics. such a special power
It is magic
Fuck, I missed the feeling of finding a new artist(to me) that was this good. Thank you for your existance raye. My life is kinda in a shit hole right now ,so I'm so glad to have something to look forward to finally, songs that beautifully articulate pain.
im so sorry you arent doing great, and i also missed finding new artists
I hope this song makes you feel better
We’re with you❤
I feel the same way, just know that you are never alone
Which artist was your last discovery?
There's something about the way she says "I remember nothing so there's nothing to regret, other than this 4/4 kick drum pounding in my head"
it's heartbreaking
It is heartbreaking though why would you do that to yourself
@@javyassassin13 she was heartbroken thats why she did it i think
It hit me too 😭
@@javyassassin13what does it mean?
Followed Raye for years. She's so grown into her vocals and style. Absolutely amazing! 👍🏼❤️
Yes she has!!! Love seeing the full-blown metamorphosis, and I feel like this is just the beginning :) exciting stuff to look forward to
Fr - since Bet You Wish and Flowers !
@@samanthaharper9522oml I love them songs I still occasionally listen to them. I’ve been a fan of RAYE for a long time almost feel I grew up sleeping on RAYE. She has always had talent although she’s certainly evolved into a beautiful artist she definitely deserves so much more recognition. I can’t wait for more of her🖤
@@CupOfTeaX I found her in 2017 because of her and Jax Jones’s “You Don’t Know Me,” and I fell in love with her voice. Seeing how much she has grown is incredible, because she has been so good for such a long time, and now she somehow found a way to get even better ❤️🔥
A producer PLEASE give her JAZZ and soul songs!!! Hear at those vocals!!! She deserves good songs! She has enormous soul and talent!!
Didn’t you hear The Thrill is Gone?
This version gives me goosebumps
Constant❤
omg yes
Stunning live performance. In some ways this version is better than the album's. The true strength comes out when she sings in the moment. Beautiful moving masterpiece.
Live ???
When she starts "I don't wanna feel" GOOSEBUMPS
Damn. A real artist. None of that fake plastic pop star bullshit. She's so real and rough while still being classy. If that even makes sense.
"Real and Raw" 🖤
You are wrong.... Most Pop stars are genetically Naturally beautiful... Don't be jealous of their beauty 😂...
And they are so beautiful but it's doesn't mean they are fake
@@user-uh1dd2jb2p Lol naive much
@@KatalinaKristina blind much or jealous much
I can hear the pain and emotions in her voice and in that way it sounds different than studio version. really beautiful (both this and studio version)
This is like the more painful version of the song like at the end of the tunnel, waiting for a "stop." The adlibs and different vocals are so good in this version
Some Amy Winehouse's vibes, she kills it
you know something's not right with the world when this goddess isn’t dominating every single popularity chart
She’s on it
@Trojan75 this song is currently 28th on the billboard weekly, the highest its been yet. Idk where you see it's number 1?
@@trey7911 it hit #1 on British charts
@Trojan75 UK ain’t the whole world, which was my point, hun ✌🏼
Agree!
The way she carried the second chorus ✨🥹
RAYE is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for her one day.
Fair play 😎
YES YOU WILL 🙏
Make sure u tell us when it happens.
Go get em
She is unnnnnreal! Yesssssss ❤🙌🏼
yes like you unnnnnrreal❣️🇵🇭
She has it all. The looks. The talent The charisma . I'm in love
Incredible song, so well written ❤
my exact thoughts. she's always been a phenomenal songwriter :)
600th like
Such a perfect song, such a perfect way of performing it live. Raye is pop's next best thing and I can only hope the world stops sleeping on her
This woman is the best thing that's happened to popular music for years.
The amount of pain in her voice makes you live with the lyrics >>.
Bro she is so underrated.
her vocals have always been so good, but in this era she's insaneeeeeeeeeee

Her passion when she sings reminds me of Amy Winehouse.. love her style!!
this is insane. just goosebumps all over. she’s amazing.
The original song got me dead for almost 3 weeks since launching.... but every live version of this song gets me.... fuck I have no words for that🤓🤓🥵🥵🥵😍😍😍😍😍. What a queen, what a master piece. We are truelly unworthy of being part of her jurney. What a true honour...😍😍🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
true but those emojis make that comment so cringey
@@foxface.actually 😭
@@xiomuf69 😭😭
Bro is down bad lmao
she blended with classical music this rare singer and rapper.
The slight changes she made in this performance were a vibe. She put her heart into this
These live version are exactly what we have been needing!
HER VOICE IS SO MAJESTIC
I love how she makes it look like we’re watching a movie ❤💕💕💕
Her voice, her cadence, her attitude, looks. Born to be a star. So glad to see she's getting more recognition!
One of the best songs I've ever heard in my life
If I was part of the band playing I would probably start crying bc of the raw emotion here. Damn
There's nothing better than live music! Instruments people! Makes you feel the feels!
OMG I am obsessed with this song and Artist now!!! This was giving me Rihanna and Amy Winehouse vibes. But most importantly it's giving me a new artist vibe to add to my collection. I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us!!
She is a icon she is legend for this song and the album she is incredible y’all she deserves everything
What a voice!! Love how she breaks it down at 3:15 in this one.
One year later this version still hits hard in 2024
I haven’t heard anything this complex in years, this is more than just another song
Swear I've been able to stay fixated on music and this song feels like it changed my life above all the ones that came before but it also comes with the fact this song came when I was in the midst of the subject matter she sings about. So it made me sit down and feel everything at once...now im 11 months sober, used this song to get back into video editing when I made a Euphoria Music video and saw it Live last month. This song came me full circle metamorphosis it's insane
Stuck in my head this has been on repeat since this song came out. I love this live version. Its the Cherry on top. ☺️☺️ Love you Raye
The power on this live version. Superior.
This song is literally a masterpiece. It's giving Amy winehouse meets gaga meets the weeknd. Especially the end - I literally thought it was the weeknd at first. The lyrics, beat, visuals and expressions are genius. Manifesting all the success for Raye 🥹🩷
Jeeeeeeeezzzzzz🔥🔥🔥🔥 it’s your time now 2023 is your year baby!!!
One of her best songs, it’s like three songs in one. Great job Raye
I want to marry this song 💖 I'm so glad she got rid of her record label and is releasing stuff she truly loves. Raye deserves all the successful and recognition she truly deserves 🙌
this hits different the emotion in this version is absolutely mindblowing
She’s so good wtf and I just found out she was making music since before? For once I appreciate tiktok for making artist like her be recognized more.
I can understand how I don't about this singer, her voice is so strong and perfect
2:55 is like that epic / cinematic vibe you get in some songs
Each times she sings it it is different and each time it is magnificent. A true genius
I DID NOT EXPECT THAT OPERA. RAYE IS GOD
Goosebumps she’s incredible
one of the best artists to come out in the last decade!!! This album will be fire!!
Yep you were correct!!!!
So happy this song is really viral right know, she really deserve it. Industry have make her so dirty for many years, her talent is just insane and her songs are gold
I can’t believe how incredible this live is, she’s so amazing
all i have is chills all over my body, this is another wordly experience
Im a doctor myself now, i experienced this 2weeks ago, i called my mom bc she still feels like the only person who can save me. I kept crying saying help me please I'm in pain, help me. Over and over. Thank you Raye for the lyrics, no one ever mentioned all this in words
😢😢
This is not a song, this is something else ❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
she's literally living the song, makes me feel the emotions with her
She singing from the heart omg , beautiful voice , she deserves everything 🙏🤍
Every second of this song is pure magnificence. I can’t believe how some people get to have so much talent in them. Raye, doll, you own me.
She is a hidden gem. I count myself lucky to find her.
she's out of this world ommmmmgggg hope she geting more an more success
she reminds me of Amy whinehouse so much ❤️❤️❤️
This masterpiece stays in my 'immortal hits' playlist
girl I've never been through what you've been through (and hope I never would), but I can feel it in my bones as I listen to you. You're a God given gift but I know the burden you bear. Wish you all the best and just wanna let you know you're incredible!
her style, the rap, but HER VOCALS DAMNN i feel every word i'm OBSESSED
Got so many chills girl damn
THE TALENT IS INSANEEEEEE
She gives me 2022 marylin Monroe euphoria grunge vibes
OMFG 3:16 LITERAL CHILLS I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING...WOOOW WHAT AN ARTIST❤️
Every versions of this song I'm hearing from her are giving me chills what the fuck. She is so FUCKING talented ! Can we talk about how hard this song is too sing wtf ?
insane, this woman has an incredible talent.
so many chills she’s such a true artist in every sense of the word
I didn’t think you could get a better version of this song as it’s by far my favourite but this just takes it to another dimension ❤️🎵
It's been a while since I've had goosebumps listening to a song. this year Raye explodes, and it's not fan talk
Fact that she singing every word ❤
I got chills through this entire performance...Wow
There’s no reason why a song should be this good man😭 it just doesn’t get old, no matter how many times you replay it
Thats a masterpiece. That song describes so well our modern society- we have company- but we dont belong- we are in a group of people but feel alone.. 🕊🧡🕊
I just got my heart broken for the first time. And this song is the definition of my life rn. Walking the past of self-destruction with a bottle of wine in my hand
She is so mesmerizing
I will love the full opera version i'm not gonna lie, i hope they'll have this song on Bridgeton or something like that
i cannot explain how much i am in love with this song (ESPECIALLY THE ANGELIC PART AT THE END!!!), her voice, her beauty, and just her vibe. she is just simply so incredibly talented
She's a baddie. Raps well and sings beautifully 💜
I'm a metalhead, I love reggae as well. But I, as a musician who played several instruments in the past, must recognize this is pure gold. Amy Wiinehouse vibes are amazing but she's so much better.
She has an amazing voice. I hope they give her good songs that shine her talent and vocal capacity
I'm happy she's getting the recognition she deserves.
I need this song in 2019🥲❤
Im addicted to this song help
Unbelievable!!! The talent oozing out of the chick is amazing !!!!
Thanks god, you gave me her. Her soul, voice, breath. Its art.
