So Fast
Unveiling Life's Swiftness: Julie Doiron's 'So Fast' Reflections
Lyrics
You seemed so young
You appeared youthful or inexperienced
You didn't notice how fast
You were unaware of how quickly certain experiences would happen to you
Those things would come to you
Life events or changes were approaching rapidly
You seemed so fast
You appeared quick or adept
You didn't notice how slow
You didn't realize the slowness of certain aspects in life
Those things should come to you
Life events or changes should have occurred more gradually
And you've changed
You have undergone a transformation
How strange
Expressing a sense of peculiarity or unfamiliarity about the change
And I didn't even get to explain
Not having the opportunity to provide an explanation for the change
I do, I do
Affirmation of understanding or acknowledgment
You seemed so dumb
You appeared unintelligent or unaware
You didn't notice how wrong
You were oblivious to certain mistakes or misjudgments
Those things were meant for you
Those mistakes were intended for you
You seemed so lost
You appeared directionless or confused
I know you didn't ever notice me
Someone did not notice the speaker despite efforts to be seen
I tried looking out for you
The speaker tried to watch out or care for the person
And you've changed
You have undergone a transformation
How strange
Expressing a sense of peculiarity or unfamiliarity about the change (repeated)
And I didn't even get to explain
Not having the opportunity to provide an explanation for the change (repeated)
I do, I do
Affirmation of understanding or acknowledgment (repeated)
