Sixteen
Sixteen: A Runaway's Anthem of Desperation and Dreams
Lyrics
Sixteen and on the street, begging for some food to eat
Sixteen years old and living on the streets, asking for food
Where did you go wrong?
Questioning where things went wrong in life
Yesterday at play, today another runaway
Yesterday was playful, today is another instance of running away from something
Where do you belong?
Questioning one's place or sense of belonging
Looking for something else out there, looks like it found you
Searching for something different in life, and it seems to have found the person
Thought you'd live life without a care instead you live without a clue
Expected a carefree life but instead lives without understanding or direction
My life sucks and no one cares, this stupid world isn't fair
Feeling dissatisfaction with life and a sense of unfairness
I'm gonna show you all!
Expressing a desire to prove oneself to others
You don't care about me, Just wait and you will see
Believing that others don't care, planning to demonstrate future success
I'm gonna be 20 stories tall
Aspiring to achieve something remarkable and be noticed
Looking for something else out there, looks like it found you
Similar to line 5, searching for something different in life
Thought you'd live life without a care instead you live without a clue
Reiterating the feeling of living without understanding or direction
I'm gonna be an actress, I'm gonna join a band
Expressing ambitions to become an actress or a musician
I'm gonna make it big and have a million fans
Desiring fame and a large fanbase
I don't need you, I don't need anybody
Asserting independence, claiming not to need anyone
Nobody cares, Nobody cares about me
Feeling unimportant, believing that nobody cares
I'm only doing this to make some extra dough
Doing something for money to improve the situation
To get back on my feet then things will start to flow
Hoping for financial stability to kickstart a better life
Oh GOD, Please get him off me, wasn't supposed to be like this
Calling for help, feeling trapped in an unexpected and distressing situation
Is this how my life ends? Tell me now will I be missed?
Questioning the value or impact of one's life
