stay young
Eternal Youth and Midnight Reflections: Good Gasoline's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Do you know what you want
Expressing uncertainty about personal desires or goals.
Looking for yourself in a bottle of red
Searching for identity or meaning in a bottle of red wine.
Giving you all I got
Demonstrating commitment and giving one's all to someone or something.
I just wanna know what it's like to be dead
Expressing a curiosity about the experience of death.
Oh I know you hate when I'm stoned
Acknowledging the dislike for being under the influence of substances.
Bad posture, Bad lungs
Highlighting negative physical effects, possibly from substance use.
Pretending that you don't smoke
Pretending not to engage in a certain behavior, potentially smoking.
Only seems to work maybe half the time
Suggesting that the pretense of not smoking is only partially effective.
You're no good for me
Declaring that the person is not beneficial to the speaker.
Won't you leave
Requesting the person to leave.
Honestly
Stating a truthful assessment, possibly about the negative impact of the person.
You're no good for me
Reiterating the idea that the person is not good for the speaker.
I just wanna stay young but I wonder what it's like to die
Expressing a desire to stay youthful while contemplating the unknowns of death.
I don't wanna go home and she just wanna feel alive
Opposing the desire to go home, as someone else seeks vitality.
I don't pick up the phone coz I know you wanna steal my high
Avoiding contact to protect one's elevated state from being compromised.
Got me feeling alone
Feeling a sense of isolation or loneliness.
I Just wanna stay young
Reiterating the desire to remain young.
And I never wanted to know
Expressing a lack of interest in certain knowledge or experiences.
You can say I'm worth it but I'm here to prove you wrong
Challenging the perception of being worthy and expressing a desire to prove it wrong.
Man this place is wack can we go
Disliking the current situation and wanting to leave.
Get your shit together and no one will even know
Suggesting that improvement is needed, and it can be done discreetly.
Oh I know you hate when I'm stoned
Repeating the dislike for being under the influence.
Bad posture, Bad lungs
Reiterating negative physical effects from substance use.
Pretending that you don't smoke
Repeating the act of pretending not to smoke.
Only seems to work maybe half the time
Emphasizing the partial effectiveness of the pretense.
You're no good for me
Restating that the person is not beneficial to the speaker.
Won't you leave
Repeating the request for the person to leave.
Honestly
Reiterating a truthful assessment of the negative impact of the person.
You're no good for me
Reiterating the idea that the person is not good for the speaker.
I just wanna stay young but I wonder what it's like to die
Reiterating the desire to stay youthful while contemplating the unknowns of death.
I don't wanna go home and she just wanna feel alive
Opposing the desire to go home, as someone else seeks vitality.
I don't pick up the phone coz I know you wanna steal my high
Avoiding contact to protect one's elevated state from being compromised.
Got me feeling alone
Feeling a sense of isolation or loneliness.
I just wanna stay young
Reiterating the desire to remain young.
