Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if we run away
What if
What if we left today
What if
We said goodbye to safe and sound
What if
What if we're hard to findWhat if
What if we lost our minds
What if
We let them fall behind, and they're never found
And when the lights start flashing like a photo booth
And the stars exploding
We'll be fireproof
My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
What if
What if we start to drive
What if
What if we close our eyes
What ifWe're speeding through red lights into paradise
'Cause we've no time for getting old
Mortal bodies, timeless souls
Cross your fingers, here we go
Oh, oh, oh
And when the lights start flashing like a photo booth
And the stars exploding
We'll be fireproof
My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
Oh, oh, oh
My youth is yours
Oh, oh, oh
My youth is yours
The lyrics of the song Introitus by Consortium Vocale delve into the idea of leaving behind the mundane routine and exploring the unknown. The song begins with the words "What if," which are possessive of a feeling of curiosity and adventure, which gets further highlighted with lines like "What if we run away" and "What if we left today." This depicts the freedom that one could feel by abandoning the ordinary and venturing into the unknown. The theme of escapism is quite apparent in the song, as one can gather from lines such as "What if we let them fall behind, and they're never found" and "What if we're hard to find." These lines indicate that the singers want to leave their current life and live without any rules governing them.
However, what makes the song different from most of the others with a similar theme of fervor and liberation is that it shows a sense of maturity towards the idea of escapism. The song acknowledges the fact that life is transitory and can be filled with uncertainty. It also deals with the fear that accompanies a sense of adventurism. This is evident in lines such as "Cause we've no time for getting old, mortal bodies, timeless souls," which represents the urgency of living a full life without considering the consequences. This line also serves as a forewarning of the temporariness of life, which makes living it to the fullest all the more necessary.
