Getaway
Wild Party Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day feel the same
Until our lives move on
We′ll have this song
And they'll see and they′ll envy
Just how happy we've become
Well the more I see is
Like it hurts to leave you
I′ll never get enough
But everything I have, I get away with that
Yeah, I get away with that
What′s with all our friends
They just talk and spend
All their time workin'
Like they′re mannequins
Our whole life for a dollar sign
That will never make you whole
Well the more I see is
The more I'm giving up
Like it hurts to leave you
I′ll never get enough
But everything I have, I get away with that
Yeah, I get away with that
I get away everyday
By living naturally
I'm giving thanks for the sake
Of getting everything I want
When I′ve got everything I need
The more I'm giving up
I get away with that
Well the more I see is
The more I'm giving up
Like it hurts to leave you
I′ll never get enough
But everything I have, I get away with that
Yeah, I get away with that
I get away with that (I get away with)
I get away with that
Ah-ah-ah-ah oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-oh-oh-oh
The lyrics of "Getaway" by Wild Party are about the pursuit of a carefree and happy life, free from the constraints of the daily grind. The song suggests that life does not have to be just about earning money or pursuing careers, but rather about finding happiness and contentment in the simple things that surround us. The opening lines "We, we can make every day feel the same, until our lives move on, we'll have this song" suggest that the song serves as a reminder to the singer and their partner of the moments they've shared together and how that has made their lives fulfilling.
The second verse of the song suggests a contrast between the singer's life and that of their friends. The line "What's with all our friends? They just talk and spend, all their time workin', like they're mannequins" highlights how some people may be living monotonous lives, without enjoying the present moments, consumed by materialism as they seek to accumulate wealth. The chorus suggests that the singer is giving up a lot of things in order to live the way they want to but they are "getting away with that." The final lines of the song "I get away with that (I get away with), I get away with that" imply that the singer has found their purpose and is not feeling guilty about how they are living.

I found you guys through spotify and dam, let me tell you, your phantom pop album was the best album you guys ever released and is also one of the best albums i ever heard.
What i noticed in your new songs is that your style is different, phantom pop's style was undoubtably hella dam good and kinda unique.
I also noticed that the electric guitar and drums are left out a bit compared to your old songs like new light (i love this song), outright (jeez this is a banger) and violet (best song you guys ever released like holy shit) and etc. (All of the phantom pop songs are goated). Its just weird how you changed your style over the years and the songs that you guys are releasing lately dont have that kind style i fell in love with (the new songs are good but phatom pop was the shit bro)
What i am is that you guys need to try go back to your old songs and give back that style and uniqueness i have fell in love with like everyone who also did after hearing your album phantom pop.
Never stop making music man, your one of the last bands that still got that 2010 energy and ill always appreciate that.
Ps. Your band is a total breath of fresh air now a days ya know?

If you guys put up a pre order for vinyls of the next album that wouldn't even come out years from now, I'd buy it immediately still. That's how on board I am with your guys' comeback!
