Tiësto Lyrics

Dropped the chills
I'm a spaceship in the galaxy
You know what I want, yeah, you know what I need
Lucid in my mind, we're in-between
In-between, lost at sea
Can you be my captain and rescue me?
You know what I want, yeah, you know what I need
I'm at this party in the LA Hills, LA Hills
Dropped the chills
I'm a spaceship in the galaxy
You know what I want, yeah, you know what I need
Lucid in my mind, we're in-between
In-between, lost at sea
Can you be my captain and rescue me?
You know what I want, yeah, you know what I need
I'ma take my motorboat and drive it to the lake
You and I were speedin' off, keep away from fakes
You be feelin' solo, it's a no-no in my head (my head)
I will make you better, keep your demons all at bay
I'm at this party in the LA Hills
Come through, come talk to me
Give it all to me
You know what I want, you know what I need
Don't go too far from me
Life's short, get along with me
If you give me all of you
You got the rest of me
I'm at this party in the LA Hills, LA Hills
Dropped the chills
I'm a spaceship in the galaxy
You know what I want, yeah, you know what I need
Lucid in my mind, we're in-between
In-between, lost at sea
Can you be my captain and rescue me?
You know what I want, yeah, you know what I need
Baby, don't be fazed, just say you love me to my face
In the Lamborghini speedin' just to keep my mind off pain
I've been way too busy, ain't have time, don't go on dates
But time is money, so I spent enough time with you
I can't feel my face no more
I'm gone, I swear, baby, you know what I want
Amiri what I wear, Lamborghini ain't fair
Shiny Moncler and my shoes Saint Laurent
Don't act crazy, girl, it's you that I want
I ain't gon' lie, girl, it's you that I need
So hypnotized, like glue, I was stuck to you, look
I'm at this party in the LA Hills
Come through, come talk to me
Give it all to me
You know what I want, you know what I need
Don't go too far from me
Life's short, get along with me
If you give me all of you
You got the rest of me
I'm at this party in the LA Hills, LA Hills
Dropped the chills
I'm a spaceship in the galaxy
You know what I want, yeah, you know what I need
Lucid in my mind, we're in-between
In-between, lost at sea
Can you be my captain and rescue me?
You know what I want, yeah, you know what I need
The lyrics to "Chills" by Tiësto & A Boogie wit da Hoodie describe being at a party in the hills of Los Angeles, where the singer experiences a sense of excitement and euphoria. They feel like a spaceship in the vastness of the galaxy, searching for someone who understands and fulfills their desires and needs. The lyrics suggest a state of being in-between, neither here nor there, lost at sea.
The singer longs for someone to be their captain and rescue them from this feeling of being adrift. They want this person to know exactly what they want and need. The party in the LA hills serves as a backdrop for this quest, as the singer hopes that someone will come and talk to them, giving themselves fully and intimately. They urge the other person not to go too far away, as life is short and they should make the most of their time together.
In the second verse, A Boogie wit da Hoodie shares his perspective. He talks about finding solace in the thrill of speeding away from the fakeness and loneliness that sometimes consumes his mind. He promises to make the other person better and help them keep their demons at bay. The lyrics reveal a desire for love and human connection amidst the fast-paced and often materialistic world they inhabit.
Overall, "Chills" portrays a sense of yearning for a deep and meaningful connection in the midst of a glamorous and sometimes superficial environment. It explores themes of longing, escape, and the search for someone who truly understands and fulfills one's needs.
