Nineteen
Navigating Time's Current: Reflections on Youth and Transformation
Lyrics
When we were young, younger than we are today
Reflecting on a younger time, comparing it to the present
There was breathing room there was a lot to say
Expressing a time of openness and extensive communication
It’s not clear when did that disappear
Uncertain about when a positive atmosphere vanished
Got to repair maybe by this time next year
Hopeful about repairing the situation within a year
I’m not the same boy I need to be shown the way
Feeling lost and needing guidance to rediscover oneself
I lost myself walking here just yesterday
Recently experienced a loss of identity or purpose
Take me off the shelf turn me into something else
Seeking a transformation and a departure from the current state
Roll me out the door turn me into something more
Desiring a significant change and growth
We were still kids I remember when we were nineteen
Recalling a time of youth, specifically at nineteen
At the railway line caught by an American dream
Mentioning a moment influenced by the American dream
It’s not me to lose my way so easily
Expressing surprise or discomfort at easily losing one's way
It’s not me to lose my way so easily
Repeating the sentiment of being uneasy with losing one's way
Yeah I’ve seen better I’ve seen better days than these
Acknowledging that there were better days in the past
Sometimes it feels like my mind is leaving me behind
Feeling mentally left behind or detached
I can’t help it, it’s hard to find
Struggling to find a solution to the challenges
I can’t help it, it’s hard to find
Reiterating the difficulty in finding a resolution
We were still kids I remember when we were nineteen
Revisiting memories of being young and nineteen
At the railway line caught by an American dream
Referencing a moment influenced by aspirations linked to the U.S.
It’s not me, to lose my way so easily
Expressing surprise or discomfort at easily losing one's way
It’s not me, to lose my way so easily
Repeating the sentiment of being uneasy with losing one's way
When we were young, younger than we are today
Reflecting on a younger time, comparing it to the present
We had breathing room there was a lot to say
Recalling a time of openness and extensive communication
It’s not clear when did that disappear
Uncertain about when a positive atmosphere vanished
Got to repair maybe by this time next year
Hopeful about repairing the situation within a year
We were still kids I remember when we were nineteen
Revisiting memories of being young and nineteen
At the railway line caught by an American dream
Mentioning a moment influenced by the American dream
It’s not me to lose my way so easily
Expressing surprise or discomfort at easily losing one's way
It’s not me to lose my way so easily
Repeating the sentiment of being uneasy with losing one's way
