Eighteen
Chasing Eighteen: Unveiling the Dark Tapestry of Young Love
Lyrics
Which one did you fuck harder my best friend or my self esteem
Questioning the intensity of emotional damage caused, comparing the impact of betrayal to personal worth.
Remember when you got drunk and said you were the only one dumb enough to love me
Recalling a moment of vulnerability when the person confessed their affection despite intoxication.
I don't want to live just following your script
Rejecting a life dictated by someone else’s expectations or desires.
The actress is too young and the director is a narcissist
Criticizing a situation involving manipulation and exploitation in a relationship or industry (acting).
This isn't normal, this isn't okay
Expressing recognition that the situation is abnormal and unacceptable.
But I didn't know any better, so I thought it'd be better to stay
Staying in a negative situation due to lack of awareness or understanding of better options.
Almost beautiful, the things that you taught me
Acknowledging the lessons learned, possibly from a toxic relationship.
I think I really loved you, I think you really loved that I was
Believing in genuine affection for each other at a particular time, emphasizing the age of 18.
Eighteen
Reiterating the significance of the age 18 in the relationship.
You bought me beer because you were too old to go to prom with me I threw up in the bathroom, my friends made memories
Recalling an incident where the age gap was noticeable, illustrating discomfort and vulnerability.
And yeah, you looked real cool to a girl still in high school You don't have to chase anything that you can fool
Commenting on the allure of maturity to someone younger and the potential for manipulation.
This isn't normal, this isn't okay
Reiterating the abnormality and unacceptability of the situation.
But I didn't know any better, so I thought it'd be better to stay
Remaining in a negative situation due to lack of awareness of better options.
Almost beautiful, the things that you taught me
Reflecting on the insights gained from a past toxic relationship.
I think I really loved you, I think you really loved that I was
Recalling a genuine affection felt at the age of 18.
Eighteen
Reiterating the importance of the age 18 in the relationship.
I see you out with younger versions of me
Observing the person dating individuals resembling the singer at a younger age.
While I'm trying to find who I used to be
Struggling to reconnect with a past self due to the impact of the mentioned relationship.
I'm terrified that you and I will always be chasing eighteen
Fearing that the singer and the person will always long for the time when the singer was 18.
This isn't normal, this isn't okay
Emphasizing the abnormality and unacceptability of the situation.
But I didn't know any better, so I thought it'd be better to stay
Staying in a negative situation due to lack of awareness or understanding of better options.
Almost beautiful, the things that you taught me
Reflecting on the insights gained from a past toxic relationship.
I think I really loved you, I think you really loved that I was
Recalling a genuine affection felt at the age of 18.
Eighteen
Reiterating the importance of the age 18 in the relationship.
