Youth
Unveiling the Tapestry of Youth: A Journey Through Unspoken Words
Lyrics
When you were young
Reflecting on the past when the person addressed in the song was young.
Just starting to come undone
Describing a phase of coming apart or experiencing difficulties.
I wish I had met you
Expressing a desire to have encountered the person earlier in life.
Just to see what you were like
Curiosity about the nature or personality of the mentioned individual.
So we'd walk down the same path
Suggesting a shared journey or experience with the person.
And read by the same light
Implies reading and understanding life under similar circumstances.
For the longest time
Expressing a prolonged period of anticipation.
I waited for your voice
Waiting for communication from the person addressed.
To call me through the storm
Hoping for support or guidance during challenging times.
The lights are dim
Setting a scene with dim lights, indicating a somber atmosphere.
The feeling sinks into my skin
Describing an emotional experience penetrating deeply into one's being.
And the meadows aren't as green
Comparing the current state of life to less vibrant times.
As they used to be
Expressing a loss of the former beauty or positivity in surroundings.
And my dreams are not as clear
Noting a decline in the clarity or attainability of personal dreams.
As I hoped they'd be
Acknowledging unfulfilled aspirations or uncertainties.
Now I'm staring at the ceiling
Contemplating existence while gazing at the ceiling.
Waiting for something more
Waiting for a meaningful development or change in the current situation.
Asking something I don't believe in
Questioning beliefs or values in the pursuit of understanding.
What was it all for?
Pondering the purpose or significance of past experiences.
