Lyrics
When I was seventeen
Reflects on the speaker's younger age, specifically being seventeen.
Faded by illusion
Feeling overwhelmed or obscured by false beliefs or perceptions.
Wide-eyed renegade
Describing oneself as a rebellious individual with wide-open eyes, eager for change.
On and On and On
Emphasizes the repetitive nature of certain actions or experiences.
Went our nights away from home
Spending nights away from home, possibly seeking independence or new experiences.
We colored red our true emotions
Masking genuine feelings with intense emotions or reactions.
We are technicolor
Portraying oneself as vibrant and multifaceted, containing both dirtiness and attractiveness.
Grime and glamour
Contrasting elements of both filthiness and charm.
How we turn our heads to take a picture
Turning attention towards capturing moments and presenting a particular image.
And be who we are
Embracing one's true identity despite the desire for external validation.
We bruised our summer skin
Metaphorical representation of experiencing difficulties or challenges during summer.
I show my scars to seasonal friends
Revealing personal vulnerabilities or wounds selectively to transient acquaintances.
Saved for you and me
Reserved for the speaker and someone special, suggesting intimacy.
The cracks in the ceiling
Noticing imperfections or flaws in surroundings or situations.
On and on and on
Every day turned into one
Days blending together, creating a sense of monotony.
One photograph to stay forever young
Seeking to preserve a single moment or memory, wishing to remain youthful.
We are technicolor
Grime and glamour
-How we turn our heads to take a picture
-And be who we are
-On and on and on
-Yeah, until we're dead and gone
-We'll be who we are
-We are technicolor
-Grime and glamour
-How we turn our heads to take a picture
-And be who we are
-Nights are long
Long, contemplative nights and a request to be remembered.
Think of me
A call to remember the rebellious nature of the past.
Renegade, how we used to be
Recalling a previous state of being as a renegade.
Now, fall into your dreams
Encouragement to immerse into one's dreams or aspirations.
