Youth
Echoes of Growth: Julia Sole's Youth Unraveled
Lyrics
I have watched you grow
I have observed your development or maturation
In a mutual space alone
In a shared, private space
From the earth, we were free
We originated from the earth and were once free
How absurd, life can be
Reflecting on how strange and unpredictable life can be
We can be so wrong
We are prone to making mistakes
But every moment was a song
Despite our errors, each moment was a beautiful experience, like a song
Every hour, you’ve waited
Every passing hour, you patiently waited
I adored you but you faded
I admired you, but your presence diminished or disappeared
Break free from time, this place can be so quit
Escape the constraints of time; this place can be very quiet
I could easily go by, by, by
I could easily pass by without notice
I have watched you grow,
Reiteration of observing growth
When there was trouble I held you close
During times of trouble, I comforted you by holding you close
Caught you drifting from me
Noticed you becoming distant from me
now I know why we can’t be
Now understanding the reason we can't be together
Break free from time, this place can be so quit
Reiteration of the desire to break free from the constraints of time
I could easily go by, by, by,
Expressing the ease with which one could pass by unnoticed
Break free from time, this place can be so quit
Continued desire to break free from the quietude of this place
I could easily go by, by, by, by
Reiteration of the ease of passing by unnoticed
Now I know I’m wrong
Realization of personal fault or mistake
I’m not that strong, love
Acknowledging personal weakness in love
Now I see I’m wrong
Realization of a mistake, expressing self-awareness
Shut up
An abrupt command to be silent
(Now I know I’m wrong)
Reiteration of personal fault or mistake
I’m not that strong, love
Repeating the acknowledgment of personal weakness in love
To call you back when..
