You sixteen
Navigating Life's Palette: You Sixteen in the Eighties
Lyrics
Thanks to your sensitivity
Expressing gratitude for your emotional awareness
You will get in the deep
You'll deeply engage with various emotions
Of every emotional sphere
Immersing into different emotional experiences
Of every colour of your soul
Exploring the diverse aspects of your soul
You will believe that you have learned from the missteps you made
Believing you've learned from mistakes but forgetting and restarting like a child
But you'll forget everything, and start over like a child
Forgetting past lessons and restarting anew
You sixteen in the eighties
Referencing being sixteen in the 1980s
You got the world but not the nerve
Having opportunities but lacking the courage
You sixteen, a life in between
Living in a transitional phase at sixteen
You'll try not to fall in that chasm in front of you
Attempting to avoid a challenge ahead
But you will be only saved by jumping into it
Being saved by facing and embracing challenges
I see your dreams and your wounds dancing above your heart
Observing dreams and scars intertwined with emotions
Then you pick up a guitar and monsters become your friends
Turning to music as solace amidst struggles
You sixteen in the eighties
Reiterating being sixteen in the 1980s
You got the world but not the nerve
Having opportunities but lacking confidence
You sixteen, a life in between
Living through a transitional phase at sixteen
Good girls around
Surrounded by well-behaved peers
You got the sound
Having musical talent or connection
But darkness it's always near to sun
Struggling with darkness despite positivity
The love you'll find can't hide this emptiness
Love discovered doesn't erase inner emptiness
You'd better keep it care
Advising caution in guarding inner struggles
