Lyrics

I feel I'm getting older

The speaker acknowledges the process of aging.

And leaves are keep falling

Symbolic reference to the changing seasons, suggesting the passage of time.

Eight-teen years already go than

Reflecting on the eighteen years that have passed.

Like growing up as closer

Expressing a sense of maturity or approaching adulthood.

So tell me how it feels like

Asking for an understanding of the emotional experience of aging.

If this is just a riptide

Questioning if the challenges faced are just a temporary struggle.

Don't want to be broken

Expressing a desire not to be emotionally shattered.

Cause I still keep hoping

Despite challenges, maintaining hope for a positive future.

That my future is not as bad as it seems

Doubting the pessimistic view of the future, hoping for better times.

And I swear I will be patient they told me

Committing to patience despite uncertainty, based on advice received.

But I know the people always pretends

Skepticism about people's sincerity, anticipating deception.

Still my dad considers me just like a kid

Despite aging, the speaker feels like their father still sees them as a child.

Older, older

Reiteration of the theme of aging.

I feel I'm getting older, older

Reaffirming the sensation of getting older.

I feel I'm getting older, older

Repetition for emphasis on the aging process.

Older, older

Continued emphasis on the feeling of growing older.

Older

Repetition for emphasis on the idea of aging.

I feel I'm getting older

Reiterating the personal experience of aging.

And leaves are keep falling

Repeating the symbolism of falling leaves and the passage of time.

Eight-teen years already go than

Reiteration of the eighteen years that have passed.

Like growing up as closer

Reinforcing the idea of approaching adulthood.

So tell me how it feels like

Asking for an understanding of the emotional experience of aging.

If this is just a riptide

Questioning if the challenges faced are just a temporary struggle.

Don't want to be broken

Expressing a desire not to be emotionally shattered.

Cause I still keep hoping

Despite challenges, maintaining hope for a positive future.

That my future is not as bad as it seems

Doubting the pessimistic view of the future, hoping for better times.

And I swear I will be patient they told me

Committing to patience despite uncertainty, based on advice received.

Skepticism about people's sincerity, anticipating deception.

Reaffirming the sensation of getting older.

I feel I'm getting older, older

Older, older

Continued emphasis on the feeling of growing older.

Older

Repetition for emphasis on the idea of aging.
