Twenty Six
Twenty-Six: A Soul's Reflection on Youth and Choices
Lyrics
Would I recognise myself
Contemplating self-recognition
In the mirror of my speeding car
Reflecting in the speeding car's mirror
Its twenty years from now and I've cut my hair
Twenty years in the future, having cut hair but not moved far
But I haven't gone far
Physical distance hasn't increased much
Only you know why
Addressing someone who understands the reasons
Because I'm Twenty-Six
Identifying as Twenty-Six
Not a lot to show for it
Lack of significant achievements at this age
I don't pray at all
Not engaged in prayer
Just soaking in my alcohol
Choosing to immerse in alcohol
Would you put me on
Seeking inclusion in someone's life
Would you put me on your movie screen
Asking to be featured on a movie screen
As the, as the man I always want to be
Aspiring to portray the idealized self
Maybe I move on
Considering moving on in life
And maybe you save the world
Suggesting the possibility of making a positive impact
You know that I like home
Expressing a preference for home
And you just run away from where we were born
Reflecting on running away from birthplace
Only you know why
Addressing someone who understands the reasons (repeated)
Because I'm Twenty-Six
Reiterating the age Twenty-Six
Not a lot to show for it
Emphasizing the lack of significant achievements (repeated)
I don't pray at all
Not engaged in prayer (repeated)
Just soaking in my alcohol
Choosing to immerse in alcohol (repeated)
Would you put me on
Seeking inclusion in someone's life (repeated)
Would you put me on your movie screen
Asking to be featured on a movie screen (repeated)
As the, as the man I always want to be
Aspiring to portray the idealized self (repeated)
What's eating you up girl
Inquiring about someone's inner struggles
Tell me what's, been eating up your world
Asking about the challenges affecting their world
Because I'm Twenty-Six
Reiterating the age Twenty-Six (repeated)
Not a lot to show for it
Emphasizing the lack of significant achievements (repeated)
I don't pray at all
Not engaged in prayer (repeated)
Just soaking in my alcohol
Choosing to immerse in alcohol (repeated)
Would you put me on
Seeking inclusion in someone's life (repeated)
Would you put me on your movie screen
Asking to be featured on a movie screen (repeated)
As the, as the man I always want to be
Aspiring to portray the idealized self (repeated)
