Almost 18
Navigating Adolescence: Almost 18 and the Quest for Identity
Lyrics
18
Reaching the age of 18
when i was a kid nobody cared about my age.
Reflecting on childhood when age was not a concern
and now i know me too.
Realizing a personal understanding of oneself
I'm kind of useless.
Expressing feelings of being somewhat useless
kind of boring.
Describing oneself as somewhat boring
and now I'm going to college,
Entering college with uncertainty about the decision
not even knowing if it's right.
Uncertain about the appropriateness of going to college
study and breathe.
Emphasizing the importance of studying and breathing
my mom worries, my dad worries,
Parents expressing concern about the narrator's well-being
almost, almost 18,
Approaching the age of 18
my face is strange.
Expressing discomfort with one's own appearance
and I am so annoying.
Characterizing oneself as annoying
and there are strangers asking about my age,
Dealing with strangers inquiring about age
I don't want to see what's in your pants
Rejecting inappropriate advances based on age
Almost almost 18
Approaching the age of 18 (repeated)
I want to be an actress,
Expressing aspirations to become an actress
I want to make music,
Expressing a desire to make music
no, I want to make cakes.
Considering a passion for making cakes
I'm in love with someon
Being in love with someone (unfinished line)
I think differently from everyone, and nobody cares about me
Feeling different from others without receiving attention
excuse me have you lost your virginity?
Encountering intrusive questions about virginity
Almost almost 18
Approaching the age of 18 (repeated)
