Lyrics
"Young man," he's told,
A young man is advised
"Don't be so bold"
To not be overly confident or reckless
"Holla if you need me, know I'll be running to join your
Offering support, promising to assist in times of need
war company"
Willingness to join in during times of conflict
"Not on your own, no"
Emphasis on not facing challenges alone
"Arjuna you don your bandana"
A reference to Arjuna, implying readiness for battle or a challenge
A brave boy told, "Don't ever fold. Live life by that soldier's code."
Encouragement to be courageous and unwavering, living by a warrior's principles
Boy die by that code in time.
Suggesting that following such principles might lead to a premature death
An ancient story
Referring to an old, timeless tale or lesson
Man, I feel me get old...
Reflection on the passing of time and aging
Baby boy, in time you'll see; It'll leave you breathless.
Assurance that experiences will be profound and breathtaking
And she asks of us we "Love me like you love your mom"
Request for affection akin to a mother's love
My baby
Expressing endearment or familiarity
It'll leave you speachless
Implication of an overwhelming emotional experience
A story told
Narrative continuation
From stage to stage
Progression or development from one phase to another
Dance age to age
Metaphorical reference to the passage of time and change
Act play to play, you
Expressing a desire to escape from oneself
just want relief from "you"
Seeking relief or freedom from personal burdens
Just want release from "you"
Reiteration of the longing to be free from personal constraints
Two acorns in the water are wont to drift apart
Metaphorically illustrating the tendency of two individuals to drift apart
Young couples cling to comfort
Describing how couples seek comfort and stability together
Yet apart, there's soil for leaving
Despite comfort, acknowledging the potential for separation
I feel me get old
Reflection on aging, possibly repeating a previous sentiment
In time you'll see she says,
Reiteration of a future realization or understanding
"Don't fear"
Encouragement to overcome fear
"Love me like you love your mom, my baby"
Request for affection similar to a maternal bond
