"Townie" is a song about choosing authenticity and following one's own path, despite the expectations and pressures from their family. The narrator is rebelling against their family convention, by setting out to a party, drinking and searching for fulfillment in something more than the empty, preexisting ideas of what their family has foisted upon them. Despite the uncertainty of the future and the risk of failure, the narrator is determined to remain true to themselves and continue to search for meaning and purpose in life through their own individual journey. Ultimately, the narrator is rejecting the notion that they must adhere to what their parents want them to be, choosing instead to be who their body and heart want them to be.
