When I Am Young
Embracing Youthful Rebellion: Tess Parks' "When I Am Young
Lyrics
Never got enough
Desire for more, insatiable longing
Grow your hair long and move to California
Symbolic move for a new start, change, or freedom
Never get old when I am young
Wish to stay youthful despite aging
Never get old when I am young
Reiteration of the desire to stay young despite aging
Mother help her, her man has come
A woman needing assistance as her partner has arrived
Love to meet him and shake hands
Expressing a desire to meet and greet the woman's partner
Peace in the air but we don't care
Despite peaceful surroundings, they are indifferent or rebellious
We wanna shoot our guns
Repetition symbolizing a strong desire or fixation
We wanna shoot our guns
-We wanna shoot our guns
-We wanna shoot our guns
-Soul is mended I am gone
Feeling healed but also departed or gone
Could have been the chosen one
Sense of missed opportunity or potential
Cared for by what I have done
Taking responsibility for one's actions
Never get old when I am young
Reiteration of the desire to maintain youthfulness
Never get old when I am young
-And I am
Indicates a continuation or existence
Some might say it'll keep you sane
Implying an action that could preserve sanity
Take my sweet time
Emphasizing the importance of taking one's time
We wanna shoot our guns
Repetition symbolizing a strong desire or fixation
We wanna shoot our guns
-We wanna shoot our guns
-We wanna shoot our guns
-We wanna shoot our guns
-We wanna shoot our guns
-We wanna shoot our guns
-We wanna shoot our guns
