Lyrics
Just this once
Expressing a temporary or rare occurrence
Just for now
For a brief period
You can be anything
Encouraging the idea of limitless possibilities
In the world
The vast expanse of opportunities and experiences
Darlin' don't
Cautioning against overreacting or panicking
You start to scream
Emphasizing that expressing fear doesn't change reality
It doesn't mean anything
Actions or emotions in this context are inconsequential
It's make believe
Highlighting the imaginary nature of the situation
Kids in costumes
Children in disguises
Dressed like Kings and Queens
Pretending to be royalty
Little monsters
Playfully depicting young creatures
Walking down my street
Symbolizing the diversity in the neighborhood
In this place I'll
Desiring a space to escape one's true self
Be anything but me
Seeking identity beyond the ordinary
So you be brave and
Encouraging courage in self-expression
I'll still be eighteen
Choosing to retain a youthful spirit despite age
So just this once
Reiterating the temporary nature of the request
Yeah just for now
For a short duration
yeah you can be anything
Reaffirming the concept of boundless possibilities
Anything in the world
The entire spectrum of opportunities
And darling don't
Advising against unnecessary fear or panic
Don't you start to scream
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the insignificance of screams
It doesn't mean anything
Actions or emotions have no real consequence
It's just make believe
Reiterating the fictional nature of the scenario
Kids in costumes
Children in various disguises specific to Halloween
Dressed for Halloween
Dressed as mythical or regal figures
Ghosts and goblins
Depicting traditional Halloween characters
Walking down my street
Imagining a collective fantasy
We're all monsters
Everyone has a unique, fantastical aspect
Living in a dream
Living in a shared dream or illusion
So you be you
Encouraging authenticity
And I'll still be happy
Choosing personal happiness regardless of external factors
Forever Halloween
Embracing the spirit of Halloween indefinitely
