College
Navigating Life's Crossroads: Reflections of Youth
Lyrics
Eighteen years old, 'bout to go to college
Anticipation of entering college at the age of eighteen.
'Bout to waste time, waste bread, get knowledge
Expectation to use time, resources, and money for gaining knowledge in college.
Sun goes down and the world keeps spinnin'
Observation of the continuous cycle of life as the sun sets.
Sun comes up and we all keep sinnin'
Reflection on the persistence of human sin despite the sunrise.
One week, seven days, need more time
Expressing the feeling of needing more time within a week.
Last home stretch, now I'm on the finish line
Sense of nearing the end of a journey or task.
Packed my bags and I'm headin' out the door
Packing belongings and preparing to leave for an unknown destination.
Good times gone, man, I wish I had more
Nostalgia for past enjoyable moments and a desire for more.
Eighteen years old, 'bout to go to college
Repetition of the anticipation of entering college.
'Bout to waste time, waste bread, get knowledge
Reiteration of the intention to invest time and resources in education.
Sun goes down and the world keeps spinnin'
Continuation of observing the world's constant motion.
Sun comes up and we all keep sinnin'
Emphasis on the persistence of human wrongdoing despite the new day.
One week, seven days, need more time
Repetition of the desire for more time within a week.
Last home stretch, now I'm on the finish line
Reiteration of being close to completing a task or journey.
Packed my bags and I'm headin' out the door
Reiterating the readiness to leave, suggesting a sense of finality.
Good times gone, man, I wish I had more
Expressing a wish for more enjoyable moments in the past.
Been left out more times I can count
Feeling excluded multiple times, possibly from social situations.
Low confidence, lil boy got doubt
Low self-esteem and self-doubt in a young individual.
Ain't nobody talkin' to the kid back row
Isolation and lack of communication with others.
If you couldn't tell, that's me, now you know
Identification of the speaker as the person in the back row.
I'ma keep it real for a sec, bear with me
Commitment to honesty and a plea for understanding from the audience.
Very few times, I had friends there with me
Recollection of rare instances where friends were present.
No one checkin' up, callin' my phone
Expressing a lack of support and communication from others.
Times like that, I was all on my own
Highlighting moments of solitude and independence.
I don't mean to sound down bad, it's the truth
Acknowledgment of a difficult reality without sugarcoating.
So, I let it out when I step into the booth
Using music as an outlet to express emotions.
Introvert boy sittin' all by himself
Introduction of the speaker as an introverted individual.
Don't talk to me, just keep it to yourself
Preference for solitude and a desire for privacy.
Sorry, that I seem so mean, I don't mean to
Apology for unintentionally appearing unfriendly.
Sorry, that I look so mad, I don't seem to
Apology for unintentionally appearing angry.
Real cold world, one thing I discovered
Recognition of the harsh reality of life.
Just know, never judge a book by its cover
Encouragement to avoid judging people based on appearances.
Just know, never judge a book by its cover
Repetition and emphasis on not judging others superficially.
Just know, never judge a book by its cover
-Just know, never judge a book by its cover
-Just know, never judge a book by its cover
-Eighteen years old, 'bout to go to college
Repetition of earlier themes, suggesting a cyclical nature of experiences and emotions.
'Bout to waste time, waste bread, get knowledge
-Sun goes down and the world keeps spinnin'
-Sun comes up and we all keep sinnin'
-One week, seven days, need more time
-Last home stretch, now I'm on the finish line
-Packed my bags and I'm headin' out the door
-Good times gone, man, I wish I had more
-Eighteen years old, 'bout to go to college
-'Bout to waste time, waste bread, get knowledge
-Sun goes down and the world keeps spinnin'
-Sun comes up and we all keep sinnin'
