Wasted Youth
Navigating Wasted Youth: A Reflection on Lost Moments
Lyrics
What kind of memories are we supposed to look back on
Questioning the nature of memories to cherish in old age.
When we’re old and wrinkled when our strength is gone?
Reflecting on the challenge of finding meaningful memories in old age.
All we do is work all we ever do is dream all we ever do is think think think
Highlighting a repetitive cycle of work, dreaming, and overthinking.
What kind of memories are we supposed to co create
Questioning the creation of memories in the context of youth and ignorance.
When were so young and stupid trapped in our heads?
Expressing a feeling of being trapped in youth and foolishness.
All we do is work, all we ever do is take, all we ever do is regret
Describing a pattern of work, taking, and regret in life.
And when the sun begins to fall
Introducing a moment when the day is ending.
I’ll be bound to all i could have done, all i could have done
Regretting missed opportunities as the sun sets.
When the sun begins to fall i’ll be bound to all i could have done
Repeating the theme of regret as the day concludes.
For now i die each day a little more
Expressing a sense of gradual emotional decline.
For you it seems somehow so comfortable
Observing that emotional numbness may seem comfortable for someone.
To sleep right through your days
Commenting on the ease with which someone can ignore life's challenges.
Sit back sit back watch it all goes to waste
Encouraging passive observation as things fall apart.
To sleep right through your days
Reiterating the theme of passivity as life events unfold.
Sit back sit back as it all goes to waste
Emphasizing the consequences of inaction as life slips away.
What kind of people are we supposed to rely on
Questioning the reliability of people in a society absorbed by technology.
Create moments with, when all they do is stare at their phones?
Describing a lack of meaningful connection due to excessive phone use.
All we do is work, all we ever do is pose, all we ever do is pretend
Highlighting a superficial existence of posing and pretending.
And when the sun begins to fall
Returning to the theme of regret as the sun sets.
I’ll be bound to all i could have done, all i could have done
Expressing remorse for missed opportunities as darkness approaches.
When the sun begins to fall i’ll be bound to all i could have done
Repeating the theme of regret in the face of the setting sun.
For now i die each day a little more
Reiterating the sense of daily emotional decay.
For you it seems somehow so comfortable
Observing the apparent comfort in emotional detachment for someone.
To sleep right through your days
Describing the ease with which someone can ignore the passing days.
Sit back sit back watch it all goes to waste
Encouraging passive observation as life events go to waste.
To sleep right through your days
Reiterating the consequences of inaction as days slip away.
Sit back sit back as it all goes to waste
Emphasizing the passivity in witnessing life's waste and decay.
