Lyrics:
In the crowd, alone
And every second passing reminds me I'm not home
Bright lights and city sounds are ringing like a drone
Unknown, Unknown
Oh, glazed eyes, empty hearts
Buying happy from shopping carts
Nothing but time to kill
Sipping life from bottles
Tight skin, bodyguards
Gucci down the boulevard
Cocaine, dollar bills
And...
(Chorus)
My happy little pill
Take me away
Dry my eyes
Bring color to my skies
My sweet little pill
Tame my hunger
Light within
Numb my skin
Like a rock, I float
Sweat and conversations seep into my bones
Four walls are not enough
I'll take a dip into the unknown, unknown
Oh, glazed eyes, empty hearts
Buying happy from shopping carts
Nothing but time to kill
Sipping life from bottles
Tight skin, bodyguards
Gucci down the boulevard
Cocaine, dollar bills
And...
(Chorus)
Oh, glazed eyes, empty hearts
Buying happy from shopping carts
Nothing but time to kill
Sipping life from bottles
Tight skin, bodyguards
Gucci down the boulevard
Cocaine, dollar bills
And...
(Chorus)
Overview and opinion:
In the first stanza, the writer states: "And every second passing reminds me I'm not home." I think Troye is saying the crowds and city lights are beginning to become too much for him, and that he wants to come home. The lines "Bright lights and city sounds are ringing like a drone, unknown, unknown," are backing up this statement, saying that they're all sounding the same and becoming boring.
Because of this, he resorts to his "Happy Little Pill", which "takes everything away" and "dries his eyes" because he's very lonely and misses home.
All in all, I feel like the songwriter is saying that they are lonely and want something to take away how they are feeling. They party and take drugs to feel better and not miss home anymore. Celebrity life was becoming too much for them.
