the magazine select wrote that this line was inspired by the works of jean baudrillard, as baudrillard believes that We live in a world dominated by simulated experience and feelings and have lost the capacity to comprehend reality as it really exists. We only experience prepared realities - edited war footage, meaningless acts of terrorism, the destruction of cultural values and the substitution of 'referendum'.the line 'escape from our history' can be seen as a reference to the impossibility in our contemporary culture to comprehend reality as it exists; an escape from the real world and from a way of seeing things.it is actually not very likely that this line refers to baudrillard's works. in the same way it can be said that the line refers to the works of michel foucault. in this light it would be inspired by foucault's ideas about social discourses from which subjects will never be fully able to escape.in the context of everything must go, This line expresses the idea of getting rid of an ideal of what msp shoud be: the manics wanted to break free from their own rules and develop themselves as a band.
