“autopilot” can be considered a subtle Part 2 to “about the party.” The two tracks were released jointly and the music video for “autopilot” can be seen as a continuation of the “after the party” music video.
This song, as in the music video, talks about losing track of time while outside at night.
[Verse 1]
Sky’s dark, but the streetlight burns my eyes
And I know I'ma make it home tonight
If I left things wrong, I'ma make them right
Never felt so low and I’m also high
[Pre-Chorus]
So I hop up on a night bus
And leave it all behind
They could never find us, no
I don’t need reminders
I just need to unwind
They could never find us, no
[Chorus]
The journey’s a blur
Forgot who you were
I forgot myself on autopilot
The journey’s a blur
Forgot who you were
I forgot myself on autopilot (On, on-on-on)
On autopilot
[Verse 2]
New streets, but the pavement guides my way
And I know I'ma make it home today
Concrete blocks, ends nеver seemed so grey
(Nеver, no, never, no)
The nights cold, but I know that I’ll be okay
(I don't wanna be okay)
[Pre-Chorus]
So I hop up on a night bus
And leave it all behind (All behind)
They could never find us, no (No)
I don’t need reminders
I just need to unwind
They could never find us, no
[Chorus]
The journey’s a blur
Forgot who you were
I forgot myself on autopilot
The journey’s a blur
Forgot who you were
I forgot myself on autopilot
The journey’s a blur (The journey’s a blur)
Forgot who you were (Forgot who you were)
I forgot myself on autopilot
The journey’s a blur (The journey’s a blur)
Forgot who you were (Forgot who you were)
I forgot myself on autopilot (On, on-on-on)
On autopilot
