Because You're Young
Reckless Youth: Navigating a World of Dreams and Hate
Lyrics
Because you're young, sharp as a knife
You possess the energy and intensity of youth, sharp and vibrant.
You need that buzz to come alive
You require excitement or stimulation to feel alive.
Out on the edge, out on the town
You live on the edge, exploring the city or life in general.
You ain't got time to settle down
You don't have time to settle down; there's a restless spirit within you.
You're always sure, you're always right
You are confident and certain in your opinions and actions.
You see it all in black and white
You perceive situations in clear contrasts, without gray areas.
You never listen to anyone
You tend to disregard advice or input from others.
Because you're young
Your behavior is attributed to the fact that you are young.
Because you're young, you're torn between
You are caught between a world filled with hatred and one filled with dreams.
A world of hate and a world of dreams
The internal conflict involves significant potential losses and gains.
So much to lose, so much to gain
There's much at stake, providing motivation for the battles ahead.
So much to fight for, so much to change
You have numerous causes to fight for and a desire to bring about change.
You don't look back, you don't look down
You don't dwell on the past or negative aspects; you focus on moving forward.
You gotta turn everything around
You are determined to turn your life around and make positive changes.
You live your life like a loaded gun
Your lifestyle is intense and potentially risky, akin to a loaded gun.
Because you're young
This behavior is a consequence of being young.
Stop talking back, get off the phone
Advice to stop talking back and focus, possibly from an authority figure.
You're late again, you missed the last bus home
You are consistently late and may face challenges in your personal life.
This ain't the way you want to live
Your current lifestyle may not be sustainable or fulfilling.
I know something's got to give
A realization that changes are necessary for a better life.
You're always sure, you're always right
Reiteration of your confident and certain nature.
You see it all in black and white
Your perception remains clear-cut without shades of gray.
You never listen to anyone
Despite advice, you still do not heed the words of others.
Because you're young
This continued behavior is attributed to your youth.
