Young Is a World Lyrics
Young is a world where I often go
To live alone, I will overflow
I can be big, somebody says I'm a man
'til I met you and do you know what I am
People are strange everywhere I go
But you're not strange, I will let you know
I can be big, that is only to say
'til I met you, life is only a day
Only a day, only a day
People are strange everywhere I go
But you're not strange, I will let you know
I can be small but that is only to say
'til I met you and life is only a day
Only a day, only a day
To live alone, I will overflow
I can be big, somebody says I'm a man
'til I met you and do you know what I am
People are strange everywhere I go
But you're not strange, I will let you know
I can be big, that is only to say
'til I met you, life is only a day
Only a day, only a day
But you're not strange, I will let you know
I can be small but that is only to say
'til I met you and life is only a day
Only a day, only a day

A long song, it conveys a sense of longing to escape the confines of reality and enter a world where one can be truly free and independent, one's youth.
The song reflects on the concept of maturity and masculinity, noting that being whats considered a man by society's means is fleeting and inconsequential compared to the impact of meeting someone important. Revolving around the expectations that society has and expects of you, the character here reflects that finding someone else who loves him for who he is is what he cherishes most. They also touch on the notion of time's temporariness, emphasizing that life is but a fleeting moment with the line "Only a day, only a day" suggesting that life can be for only a day and what you choose to spend that day on is most important; Spend your day to be what they want or find the one who takes you as you you come.
In short, it explores the desire for independence, the transformative power of love, and the realization that the most meaningful moments in life often emerge from unexpected connections. It's important to note that young can be your whole world one day and then it's gone and you can't go back. Spend it for yourself instead of others before the day sets.
