Lyrics
Early nineties punk rock scene
Reflecting on the punk rock scene of the early nineties.
In an oversized Jawbreaker T
Describing someone wearing an oversized Jawbreaker T-shirt, a band associated with the punk rock genre.
Dancing behind the barricade
Recalling a moment of dancing behind a barricade, possibly at a punk rock concert or event.
You were just 10 years old
Noting that the person being referred to was only 10 years old during this memory.
And even if my mind isn't what it once was
Acknowledging a potential decline in mental sharpness but retaining memories.
I can still remember a Breakwater
Remembering a specific Breakwater, a place or event with significance.
The frequencies and the distortion
Recalling the atmosphere with frequencies and distortion, elements characteristic of punk rock music.
Were we hid all our hope
Highlighting a location where hope was concealed or preserved.
The best part is still ahead of us
Expressing optimism about the future, suggesting that the best times are yet to come.
Probably not, but tonight let's pretend like it is
Suggesting a willingness to pretend that the best is yet to come, even if it may not be true.
And the hardest part is not taking it all too hard
Pointing out the challenge of not letting difficulties weigh too heavily on oneself.
With the way we came up back then
Reflecting on the challenging upbringing but maintaining resilience and determination.
We were always taking damage but never defeated
Emphasizing the theme of facing challenges but not being defeated.
The best part is still ahead of us
Reiterating the theme of optimism about the future.
Probably not, but tonight let's pretend like it is
Continuing the willingness to pretend that the best is yet to come.
And the hardest part is not taking it all too hard
Reiterating the challenge of not letting difficulties have a lasting impact.
With the way we came up together back then
Reflecting on the shared past and the ability to face challenges together.
We were always taking damage but never defeated
Emphasizing resilience and a sense of not being permanently defeated despite facing challenges.
