Lyrics
Mornings which aren't mornings
Mornings that don't feel like traditional mornings
Which are more like afternoons
Mornings resembling afternoons in their character
I'm not sure I like them
Uncertainty or dislike for these unique mornings
Because time passes far too soon
Discontent with the swift passage of time
Mornings which are too late
Mornings arriving later than expected
They'll be pounding down my door
Anxiety or disturbance caused by belated mornings
They plague my days
These mornings negatively impact the speaker's days
For ageing weighs
Reflection on the burdens of aging even in youth
Even when you're young and raw
The weight of aging experienced despite being young and inexperienced
I'm young I know
Acknowledgment of youth
Time says it's so
Confirmation of youth by the passage of time
Still head-to-toe
Complete and unchanged from head to toe
That changes though
Acknowledgment of an inevitable change in this completeness
And yet I'm old
Despite being young, there is a sense of feeling old
I'm old I know
Recognition and acceptance of being old
My little brother
Reference to a younger sibling stating the speaker's old age
Tells me so
Affirmation of the speaker's old age by the younger sibling
Mornings which come too soon
Mornings that arrive earlier than desired
Into the quiet of my room
Intrusion of mornings into the peacefulness of the speaker's room
They pull my hair
Disruptive effect of mornings, symbolized by pulling hair
But I don't care
The speaker remains indifferent to the morning disruptions
In my soothing midnight gloom
In the calming darkness of midnight, the speaker finds solace
I'm young I know
Acknowledgment of youth
Time says it's so
Confirmation of youth through the passage of time
Still head-to-toe
Complete and unchanged from head to toe
That changes though
Acknowledgment of an inevitable change in this completeness
And yet I'm old
Despite being young, there is a sense of feeling old
I'm old I know
Recognition and acceptance of being old
My little brother
Reference to a younger sibling stating the speaker's old age
Tells me so
Affirmation of the speaker's old age by the younger sibling
