Sweet 17
Sweet 17: Embracing the Pleasure and Torture of Youthful Choices
Lyrics
I want to live in this moment for a lifetime
I desire to savor and extend the present moment throughout my life.
Like I pictured it
I want it to be as I imagined or envisioned.
Like I pictured it when we were kids
Similar to how I imagined it when we were children.
When we were kids
Reflecting on the innocence and simplicity of our childhood.
They gonna walk around and bitch on it
Expectation of criticism or negativity from others as we navigate through life.
They gonna walk around and bitch on it
-Like when we were kids walk on
Recalling carefree moments from childhood.
Let the cops go and have the
Allowing authorities to handle issues while we enjoy life's pleasures.
Mouse and they catch it
-Pleasure and torture so close
Navigating the fine line between pleasure and pain.
I got a place called home
Reference to a comforting place or state of mind.
Pleasure and torture so close
Close juxtaposition of good and evil, kindness and cruelty.
Evil and kindness so close
-I can tell which one I want i can tell what
Uncertainty in choosing between conflicting desires.
I don't want be a demon
Expressing a desire not to embrace a malevolent nature.
Can't tell what I have become
Uncertainty about personal transformation or identity.
Smoking and he was selling it
Engaging in or observing drug-related activities.
Made many think I tried that shit
Reflecting on the impact of certain actions or choices.
Made many think I tried that shit
-17, oh, oh, sweet 17
Reflecting on the complexity and challenges of being seventeen.
17, I got a place called home
Affirmation of having a place of comfort or belonging.
17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17
Repetition emphasizing the significance of the age seventeen.
Only with you, only with you
Emphasizing exclusivity or uniqueness in a relationship.
Demon, I don't wanna be a demon
Rejection of a demonic or negative identity.
I don't wanna be a demon
-I don't wanna be a demon
-I don't wanna be a demon
-I don't wanna be an anything uh oh sweet 17
-I don't wanna be anything (17)
Expressing a lack of desire for any particular identity at the age of seventeen.
