American Hymns: A Youthful Anthem of Love, Rebellion, and Introspection
Lyrics
we are just kids singing American hymns
We, as young individuals, sing songs that symbolize American values and culture.
about a world that doesn't care that we exist
We express our feelings of being overlooked by a world indifferent to our existence.
open your eyes baby this if our life
Encouragement to see the reality of life; questioning if this is the life we want to live.
do you we'll look back and say we never lived?
Reflecting on the possibility of regret, wondering if we'll look back and feel we missed out on living.
all we eat is adderal and yoga in the morning
Describing a lifestyle involving the use of Adderall and morning yoga, possibly as coping mechanisms.
sweat out the tequila from last night's party
Describing a routine of detoxifying after a party, possibly suggesting a cycle of intense experiences.
namaste from the most perfect place in the world
Expressing contentment from a seemingly perfect place, perhaps sarcastically.
i love you cos we never talk about the things that matter
Expressing love despite avoiding important conversations and focusing more on indulgence.
we know we love getting fucked up more than we care about each other
Acknowledging a preference for hedonistic pleasures over deeper emotional connections.
marry me as the sun sets on this day
A playful proposal as the day ends, suggesting a lack of seriousness in commitments.
this is everything we wanted and more
Reflecting on achieving desires and finding it to be everything desired and more.
can i take you out tonight? we'll go stare at our cell phones
Suggesting a date centered around technology, emphasizing disconnection and distraction.
never say a single word or look at each other
Describing a lack of communication and emotional connection during the date.
this is the closest I’ve felt to anyone before
Expressing a unique closeness felt in this disconnected state.
hungover and dreamy eyed we stare into the ocean
Depicting a hungover and contemplative state while gazing at the ocean.
supposed to be he best time of our life but we're broken
Contrasting the expected joy of youth with a sense of brokenness.
where boredom is the passion of our lives
Describing a life where boredom takes precedence as the primary passion.
this is everything we wanted and more
Reiteration of achieving desires and finding it to be everything desired and more.
oh to be young, dumb, and free
Expressing nostalgia for the carefree nature of youth.
