Sixteen
Sweet Harmony: Unveiling the Hidden Notes of 'Sixteen' by Sweet Tuesday
Lyrics
Looked across and I saw you
Observing someone across the space
Thought of how you felt so blue
Considering the person's sadness or melancholy
Books and pencils by your side
Noting school items, possibly symbolic of routine or comfort
Only thing held to your pride
Indication that pride is associated with these items
I don't know what's wrong
Expressing confusion about the situation
For you to pull me along
Feeling compelled or dragged into the person's issues
I don't know what's wrong
Reiterating the confusion about the circumstances
Lunchtime comes but you're still right there
Noting the person's continuous presence during lunchtime
Bento box looks so bare
Observing an empty or minimal lunchbox, implying a lack of fulfillment
Wonder why there's no meat
Questioning the absence of certain elements (like meat), symbolizing dissatisfaction
And why your feelings are so discrete
Wondering about the secrecy or hidden nature of the person's emotions
Teacher says we're strange, but I like the way you sing
Appreciating the person's uniqueness despite societal opinions
I don't know what's wrong
Reiteration of confusion regarding the situation
For you to pull me along
Sensing being drawn into the person's emotional state
I don't know what's wrong
Repeating uncertainty about the circumstances
I'll catch you at lunch
Anticipating a conversation at lunch
But you won't say anything til we're at home
Expecting silence until a private setting is reached
Wonder what you'll bring
Curious about what the person will bring up or discuss
Wonder why there's no meat
Repeating the question about the absence of expected elements
And why your feelings are so discrete
Reiterating curiosity about the person's hidden emotions
Teacher says we're strange, but I like the way you sing
Valuing the person's uniqueness despite societal judgments
Looked across and I saw you
Recalling the earlier observation of the person
Thought "at home, how are you blue?"
Wondering about the person's emotional state outside the observed environment
Matted hair down by your side
Noting the disheveled appearance of the person
Hair so red, it matches your pride
Associating the person's red hair with pride
I don't know what's wrong
Repeating the confusion regarding the situation
For you to pull me along
Feeling pulled into the person's emotional world
I don't know what's wrong
Reiterating uncertainty about the circumstances
For you to pull me along
Repeating feeling pulled into the person's emotional state
