Welcome to the World
Ephemeral Love and Lifelong Echoes: Welcome to the World
Lyrics
I knew a girl she was so young
The speaker recalls knowing a young girl.
So full of dreams so ready for love
Describes the girl as being full of dreams and ready for love.
She met a boy whose words were like
She meets a boy whose words are captivating, compared to waves.
The waves in came the tide
The relationship intensifies, symbolized by the incoming tide.
And she was swept away
She is overwhelmed and carried away by the experience.
I knew a boy he was so young
The speaker then knew a young boy.
So full of steam so ready for lust
Describes the boy as full of energy and ready for lust.
He met a girl who held a wondrous prize
He meets a girl with a mysterious and valuable quality.
He said the magic words
He utters magical words, seemingly to manipulate her.
To open up her thighs ten years have passed
Reflects a passage of time; ten years have passed.
He's on your mind as long as you live
The boy remains on the girl's mind for her entire life.
He'll always be that guy no so for him
He becomes a lasting memory for her, even if not reciprocated.
For whom it was a game
The relationship for him was a game or not serious.
He may recall the night but he can't
He might remember the night but has forgotten her name.
Remember your name
Expresses the fading significance of the girl in his memory.
And you lose nothing! You've lost nothing!
An exclamation suggesting that despite experiences, nothing is truly lost.
You've lost nothing! You've lost nothing!
Reiteration of the idea that nothing substantial has been lost.
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world, possibly a sarcastic or ironic statement about life's complexities.
