I Took a Pill in Ibiza Youth
Landon Austin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if, What if we left today?
What if, We said goodbye to safe and sound? What if, What if we're hard to find?
What if, What if we lost our minds?
What if we let them fall behind and they're never found?
But you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be alone
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
My youth, my youth is your
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth, my youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth, my youth is yours
A truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth,
My youth is yours
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know, All I know
I'm just a singer who already blew his shot I got along with old timers
Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
And I can't keep a guy, no
Cause as soon as the sun comes up I cut 'em all loose and my works my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up
But you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
My youth, my youth is your
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth, my youth is yours
My youth, my youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth, my youth is yours
A truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth,
My youth is yours
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know, All I know
But you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be alone
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know are sad songs
All I know, All I know
The chorus of Landon Austin's song "I Took a Pill in Ibiza Youth" suggests a desire to leave behind the mundane aspects of life and create a more carefree existence. The lyrics "What if we ran away? What if we left today?" suggest an urge to live in the moment and escape from the conventional ways of life. The singer expresses a longing for a youthful, adventurous spirit where he can "trip on skies, sipping waterfalls" and where his youth is not defined by sadness alone. However, the song also reveals the darker side of a life lived in excess. The lines "But you don't wanna be high like me / Never really knowing why like me / You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be alone" illustrate the loneliness and emptiness that can come from a life of partying and drugs. The singer acknowledges that despite his desires, he ultimately cannot find true fulfillment. The phrase "All I know are sad songs" further represents his inability to move on and find true happiness.
