If We Get Older
Reflections of Identity: Navigating Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
Oh
Expressing a sigh or realization.
Oh, no, I hope
Concern or worry about something.
The echoes in your mind
Hoping that the thoughts in one's mind are positive.
Oh, don't
Repeating the previous concern or worry.
Oh, don't match the rage behind your eyes
Wishing that the inner emotions don't reveal anger.
My only friend, where do I begin?
Reflecting on a significant relationship and seeking a starting point.
Am I Heaven-sent or am I Hell-bent?
Questioning one's nature, whether virtuous or inclined towards negativity.
And all I see
Observing surroundings or circumstances.
I see
Repetition for emphasis, indicating self-awareness.
The reflection of a man
Seeing oneself in the mirror as a mature person.
Oh, man, not me
Denying a shared characteristic or experience.
Another time and time again
Repeating a cycle of events and experiences.
My only friend, where do I begin?
Reflecting again on a significant relationship and seeking a starting point.
Am I Heaven-sent or am I Hell-bent?
Questioning one's nature, possibly with a sense of internal conflict.
Just when I found my place there's a long delay now
Expressing a delay or obstacle in finding one's place or purpose.
Much more than I can take, more than I'll obey
Feeling overwhelmed beyond the capacity to endure or follow.
If we get older, let's be kids again
Expressing a desire to retain a childlike innocence as one ages.
Just when I found my face
Repeating the theme of searching for identity or purpose.
Coming out of place
Emerging from a state of confusion or disorientation.
Don't let me down, don't push me away
Pleading not to be abandoned or rejected.
And nothing in this world will change
Believing that some aspects of life remain constant despite changes.
I see, I see
Repetition for emphasis, indicating self-awareness.
The reflection of a man
Seeing oneself mature in the reflection.
Oh, man, not me
Denying a shared characteristic or experience.
Just when I found my place there's a long delay now
Expressing a delay or obstacle in finding one's place or purpose.
Much more than I can take, more than I'll obey
Feeling overwhelmed beyond the capacity to endure or follow.
If we get older, let's be kids again
Expressing a desire to retain a childlike innocence as one ages.
Just when I found my face
Repeating the theme of searching for identity or purpose.
Coming out of place
Emerging from a state of confusion or disorientation.
