Talk:Escapism (song)/@comment-33361756-20171014153154

I could see this being a Pink Diamond, possibly Rose, song as she's having issues trying to fit in with the other diamonds expectations. Her intentions for Earth are too compassionate and considerate compared to her counterparts who focus on resources and control. She can't show any of her true qualities around the diamonds without ridicule, so she goes against what she believes in just to avoid being controversial. She's lying to herself to satisfy others, "pulled against the grain", and it's hurting "feel a little pain". The "awful place" could be Homeworld, while Earth is her freedom.
