Sparks - Bergman Ponders Escape lyrics

[Ingmar Bergman]: I've often portrayed nightmares in my films. But this is a nightmare of a different sort. I have to escape this nightmare. I must return to where I came from. I've often portrayed hopelessness in my films. But this is a hopelessness of a different sort. I must escape here and return home. This Hollywood is not a place, it's a sensibility, a sensibility at complete odds with my sensibility. I've often portrayed loss of identity in my films, but I've never felt that loss of identity myself. I must escape. They admire what I represent too much to cause me any bodily harm if I try to escape. Still, I don't even know what escape means when the place you are escaping from is more of an idea than a physical location. Escape is too logical of a concept. Perhaps if I go downstairs without being seen and just continue walking, escape may come as quickly as this form of imprisonment has come.
