Get Lost
The Babies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna get lost
I wanna get lost
Lost in the sound
Away from the crowd

Lost in you
Oh lost in you
And baby I'm low
And baby I'm low
I know that you know
I'm down to the floor

I wanna get high with you
Oh high with you
Up the stairs to your room
Oh high with you

Why are you walking so slow?
Why do you always walk so slow?
I gotta go
Somewhere soon

And I hope
I'll be going there with you





Loving you is all I know how to do
Sleeping in a dream's the only place I wanna be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Get Lost" express a desire to escape from reality and get lost in the moment. The repetition of the phrase "I wanna get lost" emphasizes this yearning for a temporary release from the stresses of life. The singer is seeking sanctuary in the sound, away from the crowd, and eventually, in the company of the person they love. The chorus is indicative of the singer's infatuation with their lover, to the point of being desperate to lose themselves in them, and to experience elevated states together, whether through drugs or intimacy. The verse implies that the singer is at a low point in their life, but their lover provides comfort and an escape. The pace of the song coupled with its dream-like lyrics create an atmosphere of longing and longing rather than actual escape, and the singer seems to be facing many difficulties that they are running away from. The song is a slow and hazy anthem that echoes the tumultuous emotions of the singer.
