The Chainsmokers "iPad" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified - YouTube

- "ipad" is kind of a return to,
[3]
I think the sound that
we're most known for.
[5]
I like to think it's elevated
and sounds very 2022,
[9]
but it kind of gives you that
nostalgic Chainsmokers sound
[12]
and our fans definitely let us know that,
[13]
which is just amazing to
see to put out something
[15]
that they're like, "Yes, we
love when you guys do this!"
[25]
I was in a situation where I didn't feel
[28]
like I had anybody to talk
to about how I was feeling,
[31]
one with the person that I
was in this relationship with
[34]
and my friends, 'cause they
were tired of hearing about it,
[36]
and I wrote this song as kind of therapy.
[53]
You know, I'm going through your iPad
[55]
looking to see if you're
talking to somebody else
[57]
the way that we used to talk.
[59]
So it's kind of at this point
[60]
where you kind of maybe both recognize
[62]
that it's not working.
[63]
A lot of the song is remembering
[64]
how much weight a certain
situation could have at one point,
[67]
and then, a year later you
don't even know them anymore.
[70]
You don't know what they're doing.
[71]
You don't feel anything, and
they're a stranger again.
[83]
In LA you see a lot of
people get lost in the sauce.
[87]
This is a really fun place,
[88]
and if you don't take the
whole thing personally
[91]
you can really enjoy going out
[92]
and having a superficially fun time.
[94]
And there are great people here too,
[96]
but there's a lot of people that are just,
[100]
they're obsessed with being famous,
[102]
and I guess in this case, you're like,
[104]
"Oh, I see you're hanging out
with that superficial scene
[107]
"and I really know who you are,
[110]
"but you're kind of like
lost in that now I see."
[119]
Yeah, the line,
[120]
"Isn't it strange that
we're strangers again"
[122]
is just a fun thing
that you'd probably see
[125]
on some Tumblr page (laughs) or whatever.
[128]
What it stands for, I think,
[128]
is just a really compelling
concept to write a song around,
[131]
so when we had that
first line, I was like,
[132]
"This is the one I'm
gonna use that line for."
[146]
"A ship I pass on summer nights"
[148]
comes from the expression, "two
ships passing in the night,"
[151]
people that you just
have a few words with,
[153]
but you don't actually know,
[154]
and also has ship like
relationship in there too.
[157]
There's a little more (laughs)
to grab onto, I guess.
[161]
And that turns into "turn
into a gaslight kerosene,
[164]
"love that felt like 17,
hurt me till I feel alive."
[167]
So we went from this person
[168]
like, "Yeah, I don't really
know what your deal is,"
[170]
to like, "Holy shit,
[172]
"this has turned to
something super heavy."
[180]
This gets a little bit more literal
[181]
after the metaphorical bit before this.
[184]
"Swear to God, do you call him?"
[185]
And that refers to the first line
[188]
of, "I'm looking for something
that I used to have,"
[190]
like are you now, now you see that person
[193]
that I was worried about, you know?
[206]
I like the bridge of this song,
[209]
because there's so much tension
[210]
in the first and second verse,
[212]
and I kind of seem like I'm pissed off,
[215]
but I don't wanna end the song like that,
[218]
and that's not the emotion of this album.
[220]
It's more of being like
accepting the way things are
[222]
and looking at everything
happened for a reason,
[224]
and I'm not upset.
[226]
We were better as friends,
[227]
and I had to let go so I
knew how to start over.
[232]
It's just strange, looking back on,
[235]
like you know how intense this
relationship was at one point
[238]
and how much it weighed on both of us,
[240]
and now, I don't know what you're doing
[243]
who you're hanging out with,
but I hope you're good.
