Youtopia
Armin van Buuren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel you in the raising tide
Can you feel me by the fire side

From the moonlight
Through the cherry trees
Open the roof and take in the view
'Cause you're my sweetest dream
Come true

Colour the dusk, deep navy blue
And try to be brave
Cause I'll be right beside you
There's a world so high
Hold out your hands
And you can go anywhere
So reach for the stars
'Cause I'll be waiting up there
And you can finally fly
Cause you'll be lighter than air

Colour the dusk, deep navy blue
And try to be brave
'Cause I'll be right beside you
There's a world so high
Hold out your hands
And you can go anywhere
So reach for the stars
'Cause I'll be waiting up there




And you can finally fly
'Cause you'll be lighter than air

This song seems to be about love and trust that transcends distance and space, with the singer assuring their loved one that they will always be there for them, no matter what, even if it means waiting among the stars.

The imagery used in the song is particularly striking, describing the moonlight, cherry trees, deep navy blues, and soaring heights, drawing the listener into the song’s world. Overall, “Youtopia” is a beautiful, uplifting song about love and the power of connection.


Line by Line Meaning

I can feel you in the raising tide
I sense your presence, just like the effect of a tide rising high.


Can you feel me by the fire side
Are you aware of my closeness to you, like being near a warm fire?


From the moonlight
Under the illuminating light of the moon,


Through the cherry trees
Amidst the beauty of cherry trees,


Open the roof and take in the view
Remove the roof and enjoy the spectacular scenery around us.


'Cause you're my sweetest dream
Because you are the most pleasant and cherished vision of mine.


Come true
A dream come true.


Colour the dusk, deep navy blue
Paint the evening sky with an intense navy blue hue.


And try to be brave
Attempt to be bold and daring.


Cause I'll be right beside you
Because I will be there with you every step of the way.


There's a world so high
There is a vast and elevated world awaiting us.


Hold out your hands
Extend your hands forth.


And you can go anywhere
You can journey to any destination.


So reach for the stars
So aim for the stars.


'Cause I'll be waiting up there
Because I will be waiting there for you.


And you can finally fly
You can soar through the air.


Cause you'll be lighter than air
Because you will have a weightlessness feeling as if you were floating.

This song is my drug, I used to listen to it when I was in 9th grade, I would just lay in bed no stress about work, or not making enough money, or not being of any importance to anyone, I just WAS, absolute freedom. Now 10 years later it gives me euphoria, I close my eyes and just live in 10 years ago for 4 minutes. I love it, I never did drugs but I think it's the same euphoria if not better

Isso é um hino absoluto. Uma obra prima que jamais será esquecida. Só nos resta nostalgia...

This Song Youtopia by Armin Van Buuren feat. Adam Young of Owl City is a pleasant electronic dance music song. I am fortunate to have first heard this one of a kind song by around the December 2011/January 2012 timeframe. Even now years later I still have yet to make out the full meaning yet I'm guessing that this song seems to be about someone who evokes blissful emotions in someone andor a person is who is in love with someone/remembers/has memories of someone that is like heaven to them (just inferring/speculating from the Youtopia label).

@lifevest1

@sunshinessam
