<p>This is purely just theory, but I kinda hope I'm right.... </p><p>

Anyway, a lot of people, including myself, believed Lapis would have sang "Escapism", but after the recent episodes, and Lapis singing "Distant Shore", I believe escapism has been reserved for someone else... and that is Pink Diamond. After carefully listening, and analyzing the words, here's why I believe this: </p><p>
</p><p>
" ♪ I Guess/ I Have To Face/ That In This Awful Place/ I Shouldn't Show A Trace Of Doubt ♪ " </p><p>This line could show that she realizes that her duties as a Diamond requires her to have this unfazed, unwavering facade. </p><p>
</p><p>
" ♪  But Pulled Against The Grain/ I Feel A Little Pain/ That I Would Rather Do Without ♪ " </p><p>This line suggest that she is torn, or pulled against the grain, between her feelings for Earth, and her obligations as a Diamond, and her purpose that she is supposed to uphold </p><p>
</p><p>
" ♪ I'd Rather Be/ Free/ Free/ From Here ♪ " </p><p>This line is relatively self explainatory. She wants to be freed of this burnden thats been placed on her from the moment she emerged. from here, and in this awful place, can figuratively mean her status on homeworld. </p><p>
</p><p>
Let me know what you think. </p>
