Vivimos in L.A.
Aeiou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am leaving all behind the bird accepted my bribe. We escaped in the night and now the sun is coming out. Flying high, this is goodbye. I’m never coming back. You do know what they think about us? You do know that they wanna hang us? Right after I change my name I’ll bury all my memoirs. I’ll delete my finger prints and buy a beauty mark. Flying high, this is goodbye I am never coming back. You do know what they think about us? You do know that they wanna hang us? I’m in the block leaving all behind flying high this is goodbye. Oh, yeah. Oh, si. Vivimos in LA. Don’t call me mijo cause I’m not your son. Call me papito. The papito from the block. Feels like feels like felony.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Aeiou's "Vivimos in L.A." tell a story about leaving behind a life that has become too dangerous or unstable, in order to start fresh. The bird accepting the bribe could represent a way out or a symbol of luck. The singer, accompanied by the bird, escape in the night and now as the sun rises, they are flying high, never to return. These lyrics also suggest that the person has done something that they feel they must hide, perhaps from the law, society or personal demons that they need to escape.


The chorus, "You do know what they think about us? You do know that they wanna hang us?" speaks to the paranoia that comes with feeling like you are being watched or judged. The person believes that they are in danger and must change their name, dispose of any clues of their past and essentially start anew with a new identity. The line "Feels like feels like felony" implies that they have committed a crime or about to commit one. "Vivimos in L.A." could be a reference to the dangerous, fast-paced lifestyle that Los Angeles can offer or it could be a literal location of where the story takes place. The song ends with a lighthearted line, "Don’t call me mijo cause I’m not your son. Call me papito. The papito from the block."

Lo mejor será que un día ( espero que sea lunes mientras cumplamos 40 años ) en nuestra mediocres vidas trabajadoras nos reencontremos con estos diamantes sónicos.

"Volando alto este es el adiós yo nunca volveré" muy alentadora esa frase para aquellos que tienen miedo de luchar por sus sueños, a veces tenemos que salir de nuestra zona de confort para cumplir metas y vivir al 100 nuestras vidas .
