Don't Make a Scene
Navigating Youth's Turbulence: 'Don't Make a Scene' by Atlas Genius
Lyrics
Well we're not wrong yet
Expressing uncertainty or a lack of mistakes so far
When we're safe in youth
Feeling secure and carefree in youth
And it's on and on
Continuing through life's journey
Our mistakes are true
Acknowledging that their errors are genuine and not fabricated
Should we take the call
Considering whether to answer a call
When the sun gets low
Referencing a moment when the day is ending
It's a long day coming
Anticipating a prolonged and challenging period
If we see it all
Reflecting on the potential of witnessing everything
I don't mean it was
Indicating a past event without specifying
Good enough to pretend
Suggesting the previous situation was acceptable but not ideal
But it worked for a time
Describing a solution that functioned for a period
That's close to the end
Implying that the solution brought them close to an endpoint
I'll be on my own 'cause I don't feel like myself
Expressing a sense of detachment and uncharacteristic feelings
And if she's falling down don't make a scene don't make a sound
Advising not to create a commotion or draw attention if someone is struggling
If we're not wrong yet
Reiterating the uncertainty or lack of mistakes
Am I safe in you?
Pondering if safety is found in a relationship
Can it all go on
Questioning the continuation of the current state
If mistakes are true
Accepting that errors are an inherent part of life
I don't mean it was
Recalling a past situation without specific details
Good enough to pretend
Acknowledging a previous scenario that was acceptable but not perfect
But it worked for a time
Describing a temporary solution that served its purpose
That's close to the end
Noting that the solution brought them close to an end or change
I'll be on my own 'cause I don't feel like myself
Expressing a sense of isolation due to not feeling like oneself
And if she's falling down don't make a scene don't make a sound
Advising against creating a scene or noise if someone is facing difficulties
And I'll be on my own 'cause I don't feel like myself
Reiterating the sense of detachment and unease
And if she's falling down don't make a scene don't make a sound
Repeating the advice to avoid making a scene if someone is in distress
