Let me just say, what an amazing song. I am making this guess on the meaning based on what I originally thought and what I read from other users. The first part They've all got their opinions but then what do they know If you can't go back, where the hell do you go? Is about youth in a more obvious sense. As you're growing up and reach that in between stage, can you really "go back" to your youth, your parents, your old friends? Once you finally reach a certain point in your life, you have to move on and become what society expects you to become- an adult. Does everybody really feel as high as a kite? Well I don't really know if they do but they might The teen years were glorified when we were kids. They were seen as the happiest, fastest, and most fun times of our lives. The line that asks if everyone is actually as happy they're supposed to be is followed by a statement saying maybe they do, but it hints that really not everyone experiences this youth that was glorified when we were kids. You wanna get young but you're just getting older And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder It's cool The first line might play off of "If you can't go back, where the hell do you go?" because, once again, this song is about youth and growing up. I think summer is another reference to youth and how suddenly we have to grow up. Half baked girl Hey, I'm hardly surprised Snake eyes disguise everybody's lies Faded nail marks on pale thighs and an awkward secret that someone denies And now you're trying to get yourself back in Come on in The last part seems just to be about the regular things in the teenage years: lies, secrets, and awkward situations. Maybe I'm reading too far into this, but there are my thoughts on this. Amazing song |
