The Downhill Walk
Embracing the Journey: Millencolin's Reflection on Aging and Life's Path
Lyrics
When I was a hyper junior
As a highly energetic young person
I hated everything too slow
I disliked anything that seemed slow or boring
I did, I did it sooner
I acted impulsively or quickly
And on the to move to go
Ready and eager to move or take action
Now chillin' like a senior
Relaxed and taking it easy like an older, more experienced person
Taking walks,and playing chess
Engaging in leisurely activities like walks and chess
I seemed at my ensign
I examined my flag or emblem, possibly referring to self-reflection
With a bill to impress
Trying to impress others with a significant bill or cost
I'm over 27
Being older than 27 years
Not in long I'll be an antique
Soon, reaching an age considered old or outdated
Wish I could earse 11
Wishing to erase being 11 years old, possibly a regret
But I have matched my peak
Reaching the peak or highest point in life
My future is like a big scam
Feeling uncertain or deceived about the future
And down the road again
Continuing on the uncertain path of life
Guess its all downhill from where I am
Believing that life will only get worse from this point
now I used to discourage
Previously discouraged or disheartened
I used to frown
Used to express unhappiness or disapproval
About thoughts about kids and marriage
Having negative thoughts about starting a family
And to settle down
Settling down and committing to a stable life
Of course now I am closer
Now being closer to old age, referring to going to a bingo hall
To the bingo hall
Already having a marriage proposal, but others wait for failure
Already a proposal
Expectation of others witnessing a downfall or failure
But they're here to watch me fall
This line reflects anticipation of failure
I'm over 27
Being older than 27 years
Not in long I'll be an antique
Soon, reaching an age considered old or outdated
Wish I was still like 7
Wishing to be as carefree as a 7-year-old again
But I have matched my peak
Reaching the peak or highest point in life
My future is like a big scam
Feeling uncertain or deceived about the future
And down the road again
Continuing on the uncertain path of life
Guess its all downhill from where I am
Believing that life will only get worse from this point
Guess its all downhill from where I am
Repeating the sentiment of a downward trajectory
Maybe ageing doesn't have to be bad
Considering that aging might not necessarily be negative
Choose my passion now it could be rad
Choosing one's passions could lead to a great experience
Oh no the closer getting through me then
Feeling the impact of nearing a certain age
Maybe it'll be cool to be like mom and dad
Suggesting that being like one's parents might be acceptable or even desirable
I'm over 27
Being older than 27 years
Not in long I'll be an antique
Soon, reaching an age considered old or outdated
Soon I might be in heaven
Speculating about a future after death
Thanks to God I'm not a freak
Grateful for not being considered strange or abnormal
My future is like a big scam
Feeling uncertain or deceived about the future
And down the road again
Continuing on the uncertain path of life
I guess its all downhill from where I am
Believing that life will only get worse from this point
I guess its all downhill from where I am
Repeating the sentiment of a downward trajectory
All downhill from where I am
Reiterating the idea that
