Youth
Echoes of Vanishing Youth: Embracing Moments Before Time Slips Away
Lyrics
They say that youth gets wasted on the young
Commentary on the perception that young people often do not fully appreciate or make the best use of their youth.
Hold me close, before my time is gone
An urgent plea to be embraced or comforted before the speaker's time passes.
There's a feeling I can't seem to shake
Expressing an indescribable emotion that the speaker cannot easily rid themselves of.
With the years that pass
Reflecting on the passing of time and the impact it has.
Your voice seems far away
Suggesting a growing distance or detachment, possibly emotional, as time goes by.
Love fades
Noting the fading of love.
Hearts break
Acknowledging the breaking of hearts, possibly referring to emotional pain.
I tried your number but I guess it changed
Attempting to contact someone, but the attempt is unsuccessful, possibly due to a changed phone number.
Dumb luck
Describing a stroke of luck that may not be favorable.
I feel stuck
Feeling trapped or stagnant in a situation.
Lately all I've really known is pain
Expressing a recent experience dominated by pain.
And I'm trying to get back there
A desire to return to a better, happier state.
Sunny days outside long ago
Recalling sunny days from the past.
They always say that life's just not fair
Reflecting on the common notion that life is unfair.
As if we even ever had any control
Questioning the idea of having control over one's life.
They say that youth gets wasted on the young

Hold me close, before my time is gone
Repeating the plea to be held close before time passes.
There's a feeling I can't seem to shake
Reiterating the persistent, indescribable feeling that the speaker is trying to overcome.
With the years that pass
Continuing reflection on the passage of time and its effects.
Your voice seems far away (far away)
Emphasizing the growing distance in a relationship, symbolized by a distant voice.
Don't really like the way I am
Expressing dissatisfaction with one's own characteristics.
But I'm no good at changin'
Admitting difficulty in making personal changes.
Feel free to talk amongst yourselves
Encouraging others to engage in conversation while the speaker expresses discontent.
While I'm over here complaining
Acknowledging the act of complaining about personal issues.
They say that youth gets wasted on the young

Hold me close, before my time is gone
Repeating the plea for emotional closeness before time elapses.
There's a feeling I can't seem to shake

As the years go by
Observing the increasing distance of a voice over the passing years.
Your voice seems far away (far away)
