The road that one selects when entering into the fast paced lifestyle of Hollywood and entertainment in hopes of accomplishing one’s dreams and getting out of the rat race for good, is unique for anyone and everyone who is courageous enough to pursue it. Once you embark upon realizing your dreams in a manner in which you risk it all, you instantly step onto an unknown rollercoaster of highs and lows and everything in between. And whether or not you safely and soundly step off the rollercoaster depends on how well you take heed and note to all of the warning signs that one should look out for. It depends on how quick you capitalize off of the life lessons the journey is manifesting for you too. And it also depends on how easily distracted you are and how fast you can bounce back from that distraction.
Mike Posner‘s, “I Took A Pill In Ibiza” (SeeB Remix) is the perfect song that accurately accounts the unfortunate narrative of so many people who lose themselves on the road to success and fame. The dance track warns you about a series of snares and entanglements such as doing drugs and taking years off your life; wasting time with people that just fill the space and time instead of actually adding value and meaning to your life; trying to impress people at the expense of what serves and honors you; placing your value in material possessions therefore incessantly participating in futile conspicuous consumption; casually picking up addictions; missing out on the special moments in the lives of the people who love you and believe in you the most and basically living a life that is not balanced and abundant and authentic.
Often times, the songs on the radio glorify that which does not bring glory to one’s life in the long run, so it is refreshing to hear the truth in a melodic soul wrenching hit that you can actually vibe out to while you download the life lessons to such an inspirational track.
So as you kick off your week, count your blessings and stay in a grateful space; listen to the American singer, Posner as he serenades us in this compelling and witty single off his second EP, The Truth.
Please italicize the below:
The SeeB remix reached the top ten of the charts in twenty seven countries, including number one in Belgium, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom, where it remained for four weeks. It has achieved high chart positions in Posner’s native United States, where it reached number one on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart and number four on the Billboard Hot 100. The song became Posner’s biggest single, outperforming his debut, “Cooler than Me” (2010).

Lyrics
I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
But fuck it, it was something to do
I’m living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I’m a real big baller ’cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes
But you don’t wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don’t wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
I’m just a singer who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers
‘Cause my name’s a reminder of a pop song people forgot
And I can’t keep a girl, no
‘Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut ’em all loose and work’s my excuse
But the truth is I can’t open up
But you don’t wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don’t wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
I took a plane to my home town
I brought my pride and my guitar
All my friends are all gone but there’s manicured lawns
And the people still think I’m a star
I walked around downtown
I met some fans on Lafayette
They said tell us how to make it ’cause we’re getting real impatient
So I looked ’em in the eye and said
You don’t wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don’t wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All that I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all that I know are sad songs, sad songs
