Now That I'm Older
Reflections on Maturity: Now That I'm Older
Lyrics
It's different now I think
Reflecting on a change in perspective with age.
I wasn't older yet
Expressing a time when the speaker was not yet older.
I wasn't wise, I guess
Acknowledging a lack of wisdom in the past.
Somewhere I lost whatever else I had
Conveying a sense of loss along the life journey.
I wasn't over you
Indicating lingering emotions from a past relationship.
I see it run inside itself
Describing introspection and self-awareness.
And then I called you out
Recalling a moment of confronting someone.
I'm not such older than I was
Recognizing a change in age but not necessarily in maturity.
I'm feeling so much righter now
Expressing heightened emotions in the present.
And then I woke myself, confused
Describing a state of confusion upon waking.
Your dress comes down
Referring to a physical aspect (dress) associated with someone.
To you, don't get it wrong, don't get excited
Cautioning against misinterpretation or excitement.
I wanted so much to be at rest
Expressing a desire for peace or tranquility.
Now that I'm older
Summarizing a changed perspective due to aging.
So be it so of love
Accepting the consequences or nature of love.
The silent man comes down
Introducing a silent character adorned in vibrant colors.
All dressed in radiant colors
Describing the appearance of the silent man.
You see it for yourself
Encouraging personal observation of the silent man.
To demonstrate my love for you
Expressing a demonstration of love for someone.
You, I thought I was so in love
Recalling a past belief in being deeply in love.
Some say it wasn't true
Addressing skepticism or doubts about past feelings.
Now that I'm older
Reiterating the changed perspective with age.
Now, now that I'm older
Emphasizing the present state of being older.
There's so much travel
Highlighting the extensive experiences and journeys in life.
And now that I'm older
Connecting ongoing travels to the speaker's current age.
Someone else, can see it for myself
Acknowledging the perspective of others in recognizing personal growth.
So much travel, yeah
Reiterating the theme of extensive travels and experiences.
Now that I'm older
Emphasizing the impact of age on the speaker's current state.
