iPad Lyrics

I go through your iPad looking for
Somethin' that I used to have
Guess I finally lost my mind (lost my mind)
I wish that I could take my number back
Go back to the place we met
Start this up a second time (second time)

You're living in a past life, twenty-five
All your friends are verified
Acting like they're first in line
I'm lookin' at your life through cellophane
Hoping things would stay the same
I was always by your side

And isn't it strange how we're strangers again?
Isn't it strange how we're strangers again?

Yeah, now we're strangers again
Yeah, now we're strangers again

You were just a downtown socialite
Ship I pass on summer nights
Shadow that I can't define
Turned into a gaslight kerosene
Love that felt like seventeen
Hurt me 'til I feel alive

I wonder who your friends are
Where you go, who you know now
You play the same card, swear to God
Do you call him?

Isn't it strange how we're strangers again?

Yeah, now we're strangers again
Yeah, now we're strangers again

You were just a downtown socialite
Ship I pass on summer nights
Shadow that I can't define
Turned into a gaslight kerosene
Love that felt like seventeen
Hurt me 'til I feel alive

Isn't it strange how we're strangers again?
Now both of us know we were better as friends
When it all, yeah, when it all falls apart
Sometimes you let go just to know where to start

Somethin' that I used to have
Somethin' that I used to have
Somethin' that I used to have

Yeah, now we're strangers again
Somethin' that I used to have

You were just a downtown socialite
Ship I pass on summer nights
Shadow that I can't define
Turned into a gaslight kerosene
Love that felt like seventeen
Hurt me 'til I feel alive

What is the Meaning of iPad?

This track delves into the emotional turbulence following the dissolution of a romantic relationship. Through the metaphor of an iPad to unearth remnants of past intimacy, the lyrics convey a poignant sense of loss and yearning. Reflecting on the superficiality of social media and fleeting connections, the song juxtaposes the protagonist's nostalgic longing with the former partner's digitally curated existence. The reference to "gaslight kerosene" and love that felt like "seventeen" underscores the volatile and illusory nature of the romance. Ultimately, the theme gravitates towards the estrangement and transformation from known entities to strangers, capturing the enigmatic complexities of moving on. Now, both realize that letting go is a necessary step to begin anew, despite the lingering sentimentality of what "used to have." 🚀
