Back to School
School Days Echo: Lessons in Love and Rebellion
Lyrics
Back to school with so much learnt
Reflecting on returning to school with gained knowledge.
From the summer holiday when my lungs got burnt
Recalling a summer holiday where the speaker experienced discomfort, possibly from intense activities.
Back in the classroom learning PI all the time
Back in the classroom, focused on learning the mathematical constant PI continuously.
Yes yes teacher 3.14159
Agreeing with the teacher and stating the value of PI (3.14159).
Coming to borrow some information from the best girl in class
Seeking information from the smartest girl in class before an exam.
Exam is tomorrow and my inclination is that I'll scrape a pass
Expressing uncertainty about passing the upcoming exam.
Back in the classroom where time doesn't pass
Back in the classroom, highlighting a perception that time moves slowly during class.
Unlike those holiday's in the south of France
Contrasting the pace of school days with seemingly faster holidays in the south of France.
Learning to kiss on a sticky breeze
Recalling experiences of learning to kiss in a particular setting.
Our backs against the walls of cold concrete
Describing a romantic encounter against a cold concrete wall.
Coming to borrow some information about the things you like
Seeking information about the person's interests.
Bouquet of flowers on promotion, I didn't think twice
Not hesitating to buy a promotionally priced bouquet of flowers for the person.
Oh the morning has come back again
Welcoming the morning but feeling rudely awakened by the alarm.
Rudely awoken by my alarm with no repentance
Expressing the abrupt nature of waking up with no remorse.
People always say that when you look back
Contrasting a common belief that school days are the best with the speaker's dislike for school.
Your school days will be the best one's you ever had
Challenging the notion that school days are the best, emphasizing personal dislike for school.
But that's not true, I never liked school
Asserting that a young man should avoid being bound by too many rules.
A young man shouldn't be entwined in too many rules
Expressing doubt about the popular belief that school days are the best.
Coming to borrow some information from the best girl in class
Returning to the theme of seeking information from the smartest girl in class before an exam.
Exam is tomorrow and my inclination is that I'll scrape a pass
Reiterating uncertainty about passing the upcoming exam.
Oh the morning has come back again
Repeating the experience of waking up in the morning, feeling rudely interrupted by the alarm.
Rudely awoken by my alarm with no repentance
Highlighting the abrupt awakening by the alarm without any remorse.
