Renegades: Embracing Youthful Rebellion and Defying Growing Up
Lyrics
Forget everything you think you know, you could learn it back in a day anyway
Encouraging the listener to forget preconceived notions, as knowledge can be relearned quickly.
Like the average Disney TV show, I don't have all that much to say

Around 16 everyone tries to lose their mind
Referring to the age around 16 when individuals commonly experiment with breaking societal norms.
The only thing we could do to calm on down is imagine we're far away
Suggesting that, during turbulent times, escapism through imagination is a coping mechanism.
We were Renegades

There's no time to waste

Don't wanna keep growing up

Every adult I know tell's me don't waste my mind

I wanna put emphasis on the fact that it's mine
Stressing the importance of individuality and personal ownership of one's mind.
I only live once, I know it sounds so corny
Acknowledging the cliché of "you only live once" but asserting the significance of not wasting time.
But I don't wanna spend my days doing something that bores me
Expressing a reluctance to spend life on mundane or unfulfilling activities.
We were Renegades
Reiterating the theme of rebellion and non-conformity.
Chasing after cars to feel something besides our hearts
Revisiting moments of chasing excitement as a means to escape emotional realities.
There's no time to waste

Don't wanna keep growing up
