I Took a Pill in Ibiza
Bely Basarte Lyrics

I took a pill in Ibiza
I consumed drugs in Ibiza

To show Avicii I was cool
To impress the musician, Avicii

And when I finally got sober
Upon ceasing drug use

Felt 10 years older
I had aged significantly

But fuck it, it was something to do
Nonetheless, it was an activity to engage in

I'm living out in L.A.
I reside in Los Angeles

I drive a sports car just to prove
To demonstrate my affluence to others

I'm a real big baller
I possess wealth and status

Because I made a million dollars
As a result of acquiring a lot of money

And I spend it on girls and shoes
I invest my riches in women and footwear

But you don't want to be high like me
You do not desire to experiment with drugs like I do

Never really knowing why like me
Without comprehending the rationale for such actions

You don't ever want to step off that roller coaster
You wouldn't want to disengage from that volatile lifestyle

And be all alone
Experiencing loneliness and isolation

You don't want to ride a bus like this
You wouldn't want to travel by means of public transportation, in such a condition

Never knowing who to trust like this
Without having trust in anyone or anything

You don't want to be stuck up on that stage singing
You wouldn't want to have to perform on stage

Stuck up on that stage singing
Forced to sing on stage

All I know are sad songs, sad songs
The only music I can create or produce are melancholic, depressing songs

Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
A term of endearment followed by a repetition of the prior line

I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
I am a vocalist who has already lost his chance at success

I get along with old timers
I maintain positive relationships with elderly individuals

Because my name's a reminder
My name serves as a reminder

Of a pop song people forgot
Of a song that was previously famous or well-known but is now ignored or overlooked

And I can't keep a girl, no
I am unable to maintain a relationship with a female

Because as soon as the sun comes up
At the crack of dawn

I cut them all loose and work's my excuse
I end the relationship and use work as a justification

But the truth is I can't open up
In reality, I am incapable of revealing my emotions or being vulnerable

I took a plane to my home town
I used air travel to go back to my place of origin

I brought my pride and my guitar
My ego and musical instrument accompanied me

All my friends are all gone
All of my companions are no longer present

But there's manicured lawns
Despite the people changing, the physical environment remains well-maintained

And the people still think I'm a star
Individuals continue to view me as a notable figure

I walked around downtown home
I strolled throughout the central district of my hometown

I met some fans on Lafayette
I encountered some enthusiasts on Lafayette Street

They said tell us how to make it
They requested advice on how to achieve success

Because we're getting real impatient
Because they are becoming increasingly impatient

So I looked them in the eye and said
I made eye contact with them and articulated the following
