The Coming Of Age
Embrace the Chaos: The Coming of Age by Ace Ambrose
Lyrics
Everything you're running from is in your head
Reflection on inner struggles and fears, suggesting that the challenges are psychological.
Hiding from the monster sleeping in your bed
Metaphorically hiding from personal demons or problems that disturb one's peace of mind.
You're so tired of this, you're so tired of this
Expressing exhaustion and frustration with ongoing difficulties.
It's been seven days since you last slept
Highlighting a prolonged period of insomnia or restlessness.
Scared of doing something you won't regret
Fear of making choices that may lead to future regrets.
You're so tired of this, you're so tired of this
Reiterating weariness and dissatisfaction with the current situation.
It's the coming of age, the rise and fall
Introduction of the theme of the "coming of age," implying a transformative period.
And it's coming to get us all
Suggesting inevitability and universality of the challenges associated with growing up.
Say something stupid, let's get a gun
Ironic suggestion to engage in reckless behavior as a response to life's difficulties.
Set a few fires, have some fun
Playfully advocating for unconventional actions as a form of rebellion or escape.
Do something stupid, live on the run
Encouragement to embrace a carefree, adventurous lifestyle despite potential consequences.
It's the end of the world let's have some fun
Embracing a hedonistic attitude in the face of perceived impending doom or crisis.
Beauty killer in a crowd of circus clowns
Describing oneself as a standout figure in a crowd of ordinary or absurd individuals.
Spilling lust and liquor on their ballroom gowns
Depicting a scene of debauchery and excess, possibly as a distraction from life's challenges.
You're so tired of this, you're so tired of this
Reiterating weariness and dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Sky is falling, need a way to numb the pain
Desire for a coping mechanism to numb emotional pain caused by the challenges.
Refuge feels like acid burning in my veins
Metaphorical description of seeking refuge, which is ironically painful and corrosive.
I'm so tired of this, I'm so tired of this
Expressing exhaustion and frustration with ongoing difficulties.
It's the coming of age, the rise and fall
Reiteration of the theme of the "coming of age" and its inevitable highs and lows.
And it's coming to get us all
Suggesting inevitability and universality of the challenges associated with growing up.
Say something stupid, let's get a gun
Ironic suggestion to engage in reckless behavior as a response to life's difficulties.
Set a few fires, have some fun
Playfully advocating for unconventional actions as a form of rebellion or escape.
Do something stupid, live on the run
Encouragement to embrace a carefree, adventurous lifestyle despite potential consequences.
It's the end of the world let's have some fun
Embracing a hedonistic attitude in the face of perceived impending doom or crisis.
Take me back to lovers dancing in the rain
Nostalgic longing for past moments of joy, specifically dancing in the rain.
Wish that I could dream that dream again
Expressing a desire to relive a positive dream or memory.
Why did my favourite memories only happen when I was sleeping
Questioning why cherished memories seem confined to dreams and not reality.
When I was dreaming
Reflecting on the contrast between dream experiences and the challenges of waking life.
No one told me living would hurt this bad
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the intensity of emotional pain in life.
Thinking about all the best times we never had
Reflecting on missed opportunities or unrealized positive experiences.
It's the coming of age, the rise and fall
Reiteration of the theme of the "coming of age" and its inevitable highs and lows.
And it's coming to get us all
Suggesting inevitability and universality of the challenges associated with growing up.
