| Foster the People – Coming of Age Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| To me, this song is about a person that has recently lost someone. They realize that they have been trying to find them self and in the process, have either taken advantage or have forgotten about the needs of the person that they care about most. They see the pain they have caused this person and try to reason with them self that they try to live in the moment and work ahead and to not live in the past. They realize that they have been consumed by fear. And because they did not want to admit they were afraid, they had their pride protect the conviction of their decisions even when they know they are wrong. Because of their pride, they hurt the people they care about most. They have been hurt in the past and are afraid of being hurt again or getting in a situation that would hurt their life. They worry so much about how people judge them (their enemies) and that they cannot see or acknowledge the beauty of the stars or the beauty of what life and love has to offer that is plain and simple right in front of their face. They are tired of fighting with their pride. They are tired of hurting themselves and others. They realize that their childish behavior needs to come to an end. A coming of age. | |
