Getting Older
Navigating the River of Time: Embracing the Journey of Growth
Lyrics
I feel I'm getting older
The speaker senses the passage of time and aging.
And leaves will keep falling
Metaphorically refers to the natural cycle of change, symbolized by falling leaves.
Eighteen years already golden
Reflects on the feeling of youthfulness and the sense of value in being eighteen years old.
I think growing up is closer
The speaker believes that the process of maturing is approaching.
So tell me how it feels like
Asking for an understanding of the experience of aging.
If this is just a riptide
Wondering if the current experience is just a temporary phase of difficulty.
I don't want to be broken
Expresses a desire to avoid being emotionally or mentally shattered.
Cause' I still keep hoping
Despite challenges, the speaker holds onto hope.
Then my future is not as bad as it seems
The future might not be as bleak as it seems currently.
And I swear I will be patient they told me
The speaker intends to remain patient despite advice received.
But I know that people always pretend this
An acknowledgment that people often pretend or mask their true feelings about aging.
Still my doubt can silence me just like a kid
The speaker's uncertainties can quiet them, reminiscent of feeling like a child.
Older, older
Reiteration of feeling older, emphasizing the sentiment.
I feel I'm getting older, older
-I feel I'm getting older, older
-Older, older
-Older, older
-Older, older
-I feel I'm getting older
Repeats the sense of aging and time passing.
And leaves will keep falling
A repetition symbolizing the cycle of change and growth.
Eighteen years already golden
A reflection on the value and fleeting nature of being eighteen.
I think growing up is closer
Reiterates the approaching phase of growing up.
So tell me how it feels like
Repeats the inquiry about understanding the experience of aging.
If this is just a riptide
Reiterates the uncertainty if the current situation is temporary or lasting.
I don't want to be broken
Desire to avoid emotional or mental breakdown despite difficulties.
Cause' I still keep hoping
Maintaining hope despite challenges.
Then my future is not as bad as it seems
Reiteration that the future might not be as bleak as perceived.
And I swear I will be patient they told me
-Then my future is not as bad as it seems
-And I swear I will be patient they told me
Reaffirmation of patience despite advice received.
Older, older
Repeating the feeling of getting older, emphasizing the sentiment again.
I feel I'm getting older, older
-I feel I'm getting older, older
-Older, older
-Older, older
-Older, older
-Older, older
-Older, older
Final emphasis on the feeling of aging.
